today i'm going to be taking you on a daily keto routine following my ketogenic low carb
high fat lifestyle so it starts early in the morning i wake up to get my workout in
before the day gets crazy and so i mix up some exogenous ketones and electrolytes
and i get started on my fasted workout now i have been doing this routine for quite a while
and working out first thing in the morning has been the best way for me to make sure that it gets
done it feels really good to get it done early and then after my workout i
pop into my instagram stories and i'm going to share with you a few clips from this past week so
you can see exactly what i do within my day make yourself a priority push yourself first actually
um having something to work towards to achieve the next level is so good for us you know all
of us and so having that thing that we're working towards pushing towards achieving a goal something
that you are focused on improving yourself whether it's your personal development or your fitness
your nutrition your business whatever it is it's so good for us to have something that we focus
on every single day that's going to keep us on track to achieving something greater in our life
you know we are growth seeking and so seek out that growth focus on that grow you can do it
guys i'm so proud of you all morning guys just finished my workout it's now 7 30 in the morning
so you know my kids are up my husband's handling that situation right now um i'm about to go
relieve him of that remember the very number one thing that is the most important thing is forming
and building those habits so that you can maintain your results you can improve your results you can
keep pushing yourself further into the next level you know it all starts with the daily routine and
the habits to follow the same routine you do during the week over the weekend and
of course make your rest day on a day that is best for you i always do my rest day on saturday so
saturday is my day that i don't work out but i do everything else exactly the same
i am ready to literally rock the day like i hope you guys um understand
how much power that you actually have over your life and over your future and the impact you have
on this world and other people because there's something special about every single one of us
and you guys are all here for a reason so after my workout i get my kids off to school and on the bus
and it's just me and clara and peter the rest of the morning today i decided to shake
up a fat coffee my favorite fat coffee which includes collagen and mcts and really high b
vitamins so sometimes i don't do intermittent fasting and so on this day this is an example
of a day that i'm not doing intermittent fasting so this is at 8 a.m in the morning and so i mix
this up i just shake it with hot coffee and some half and half and then clara does her coloring
while i work in the morning until about 9 30 so i'm answering emails i'm getting back to people
and then when i have a free moment that is all to myself i like to do some meditation so typically
after i take a shower and i get ready ready for the day i like to do about 20 minutes of
meditation and then i package up my sample kits for any orders that happened on my blog overnight
and get those out the door and so today we are having a very special meal that is one of my
absolute favorites and this is so easy to make you literally steam some broccoli add some mozzarella
cheese microwave it and top it with some sour cream and um my absolute favorite everything
but the bagel seasoning and if you're someone who loves baked potatoes this is perfect for you and
then i get some work in as always drink my water um lots and lots of water my goal is a gallon of
water every day so i am following up with messages on youtube i am replying to and helping my team
all right so i am testing out my blood ketones i like to do this um to see
you know i never thought i would be pricking my finger for um a diet it's not really a diet
though it's a lifestyle so um there's different ways to test your blood ketones but i like to
use a meter one of these blood ketone meters for myself and my blood ketones are at 1.3 which is
great for ketosis and i'm not fasted right now so this is not my fasted number and so um you know
that's good it's good i like to personally test my blood ketone levels at different times of the day
and just to make sure that something i'm consuming isn't like throwing me out of ketosis your
ketone levels are going to be different at different times of day and the reason i use
a blood ketone meter is because after your fat adapted the urine strips they don't work anymore
so it's very helpful just to make sure that you're in ketosis and that you are doing everything right
and following through with everything the right way and you feel really good and it's not that bad
and one little trick if you are doing it you can like do the side of your finger instead of like
the soft part because it's it's not as painful doing it that way so i just kind of keep track
of that um i'll usually test like once a day just to like make sure and sometimes not even
every day every once in a while is fine too so it just really depends on the day and how i'm feeling
just to confirm that everything is like you know going correct and i didn't consume something
that maybe had some hidden carbs that might have thrown me out of ketosis it's really helpful to
know those things because obviously you don't want to be doing something in your daily routine that
might be kicking you out of ketosis right the goal is to enhance and and do the things that
you need to do consistently over time that helps you reach your highest level of results and
um just live your best life so i don't know if you guys saw my transformation video i uploaded last
week but if not you should definitely check that out after this video i went into some of the daily
things that i do in my daily routine that have helped me lose not only the 60 pounds but take
it to the next level and and over time the most important thing of this entire experience has been
developing the habits of being able to continue the things that will move me forward so i pretty
much just came up with these these bullet points and i keep adding new ones to it as
i um make them a habit and i keep improving and getting better and better and that's
the goal is just to always be growing and pushing yourself a little bit more as you get comfortable
adding more to that list so this is basically my routine that i try to go through every single day
you know sometimes i miss some things i'm not perfect and that's okay
so around three o'clock the kids are ready to get picked up off the bus so peter and i typically
take the golf cart to the bus stop to pick them up from school and they're always so excited to see
us and to get home and get going on their homework and everything that all of us parents know so well
so we grabbed them off the bus and they're so happy to be home of course
but they love school love school has been amazing for them um they really do have a
ton of friends and they they have had a great experience at school so at 4 00 p.m peter and
i decided to get away for a late or i guess so you can say early dinner um and we have
someone watching all three kids so we can do this and it's so great to be able to spend that
time together and um so i got a club soda with lime which is my go-to at a restaurant i love
club soda with lime and i ordered a burger with bacon and cheddar and blue cheese dressing
really super simple it's like one of those things that you can get almost
every restaurant and it's really um easy to stay on track to a low carb high fat lifestyle that way
so today was a really great day and all together are the macros of the day were great and so i had
the two meals along with my fasted workout this morning and my fat coffee around eight o'clock and
i did not snack in between my meals so that's another big secret to my success is i try not
to snack so i try to get all of the calories that i need from the meals that i'm eating and so next
i'm going to break down for you guys the macro balance of this day it literally was a perfect
day for keto low carb high fat lifestyle and so i'm going to share with you all of that next every
night right before bed i make sure that i take magnesium i found out and figured out that lacking
the electrolytes or lacking these these specific minerals can definitely cause issues in the future
with this lifestyle even just a low carb lifestyle high fat lifestyle and so before bed i just take
milligrams sometimes 400 milligrams depends on what i have but um that really really really helps
so um at the end of this routine my daily routine that's what i do i just take magnesium i
try to get to bed early and get as much rest as i possibly can and by early i mean um about 9 30 p.m
so that is part of the secret to my early morning routine is that i get to bed really early so that
i can start my day the right way and i don't miss my workout the next day if you haven't seen my
transformation video go check that out next and i will see you in the next one take care guys
