Ok So I am Bad at Updates

Ok so what has happened... Oh yeah.  So since October I have joined  maroon squad at work (aka labor and delivery).  Which, by the way had been my dream since nursing school, so yeah pretty freakin psyched!!!  It happened really fast.  I saw the job opening on one week and talked to my then supervisor about my intentions and that the whole reason I had joined float pool was to get into the women's floor (because that is what the director at the time had told me to do, get more medical/surgical floor experience.)  Anyway she was cool with it and I applied on like a Monday and in Wednesday I heard back and had an interview Thursday.  The interview went well and on Monday or Tuesday I got the call that I WAS IN!!!! I still kinda like it is unreal or i am in a dream.  So October 7th I started orienting in a new program for new Labor nurses.  I am still orienting for a little longer, but man I feel like I am at my home floor!!! I love it so much I just can even explain!!!  Anyway so that is what is new with me.  My girls are cute as ever, despite their bickering.  They do some of the cutest things.  Like E will get Z her blanket when Z is acting sad.  Z will get her sister snacks and drinks, sometimes without me even having to ask her.  Both of them had a fun Christmas and were spoiled.  Z asked for the new "King Kong" movie, a zoomer horse, and clothes for her stuffed unicorn.  Z said that E should ask for a furreal cat.  That Z is too smart though.  She kept asking if the movies about Santa were "for real?" So I have a feeling that she will lose the magic of Santa quicker then I want.  Boo.  I love when kids have magic in their lives because the world is so harsh and mean in real life.  Both girls have been singing "Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer" until, well, they are still singing it.   They both are too funny.  I really need to start blogging what they do more.  But anyway we all survived the holidays (and the holiday treats).

Keto update

Ok so I keep forgetting to post an update about my keto journeys.  So this last round of keto I did for 6 weeks.  I was super vigilant, never cheated, watched my sweetners, protein and macros, started some fasting by not eating after 7 pm, made sure I didn't eat too much coconut/mct oil, avoided berries most of the time, pretty much did everything I had found that was supposed to help with weight loss plateaus with keto.  Nothing.  I did finally drop like .5% in bodyfat afyer the 6 weeks, but if I remember right I lost some muscle and no weight.  Plus I felt super tired, I never got a positive urine test for ketone strips.  I am positive I had to have been in ketosis though, I was seeing like a racehorse and so dang thirsty.  Plus I was using 2 different supplements for extra keto boosting.  It is weird because I actually started eating carbs at thanksgiving and after end when I checked myself I was actually down a whole body fat percentage and my muscle poundage was up too! So I am now currently 18.5ish % body fat.  Go figure.  I will post my results of my scans.  But yeah maybe I will give carb cycling a go.  I only want to lose like 5-10 pounds is that too much to asj
