Working Out is Not Glamorous - We SWEAT!

Working Out Is Now a Daily Routine

When we started our Keto Journey on May 31, 2017, we were just eating Keto and drinking Pruvit. No gym. 

The other day Keith asked me give him 2 full weeks to get our bodies heading in the right direction with a gym routine. So, we have been doing just that. I decided to snap some before and better photos. We have only been doing Keto/Pruvit for 4.5 months but I wanted to show some of our most recent results. What do you think?

We Made a Video

Pruvin it in Riviera Maya

I've said it before and I will say it again, THIS PRODUCT WORKS! 

I am NOT a "drink the koolaid" type of person. I have to try things to form my own opinion. Hell, I don't even pay attention to movie reviews as I figure, let me decide for myself, Siskal and Ebert! 🙄

Keith and I just returned from 20 days in the US and we got home and weighed ourselves, neither one of us gained a single pound. NOT ONE! 

I'll be completely transparent with you, yes we ate Keto-ish most days BUT I know I can count at least 2 Wendy's Frosties, 3 McDonald's BigMacs and one In-N-Out Double Double Animal Style burger each for us and that included the buns AND fries. (sorry not sorry!)

We did workout as best we could with several long walks and one trip to an actual gym, but I expected a pound or 5... We consistently everyday drank our Pruvit. We put our body into ketosis to burn the fat and as you can see, it worked! I can't even express how thrilled this makes me.

Join us in burning fat - we know you'll be glad you did! All you have to do is ask, we'd love to help!! 😍

Twenty Day USA Trip Wrapped Up

Keith and I left on September 21st to fly to Ohio to see my family and to go see John Mayer in concert at the Bourbon & Beyond festival.

My wonderful father let us use his car to drive to Louisville on Saturday to see the festival. It had rained the whole day and just kept on raining. Check out this video to see what I mean... Lenny Kravitz and John Mayer were amazing!! The festival ended up being cancelled for day 2 due to the park being destroyed from all the rain. It really was a nightmare in regards to the water and mud - music wise, it was awesome!

My worst nightmare came true at the festival... I dropped my cell phone ON THE FLOOR of a muddy port-o-potty!!! Muddy floor. Toilet. At a festival of 1000’s of people. (My brain was screaming bloody murder) 😱 I know what you’re thinking, “are you sure it’s mud, Tarah ?” It’s mud, shut up!!! Besides this horror, we did get back to Ohio and realized the next day someone had hit my fathers car... Our affordable trip just became much more expensive for us as we plan to pay to get it fixed for him. I can't believe someone hit us and drove us... Jerks!

During the trip we decided to make a side trip to Lake Ozark in Missouri. We have been wanting to buy a 2nd property for awhile and with Lake Ozark offering more lake front property than California we decided to check it out. We spent two days there exploring the area and with a realtor. 

We are happy to report we found a place and hope to close in early November! If you haven't been, you should. It's a beautiful area that revolves around lake living. My dream!! I blame my grandparents as they had lake front homes and boats and it was a life I dreamed to have as it was always so enjoyable!

Our adorable grandkids

On the 30th we flew to Nevada to rent a car and drive to Arizona. We were so excited as the grandkids, Alexis and Zavier, as they are in Nevada. We were thrilled to see them and their mother, Miranda, for breakfast. It was so much fun seeing them and catching up. They are getting so big. Alexis has started school and Zavier is so much more chatty than when we last saw him. We miss them so much so seeing them was a highlight of our trip!

After seeing them we drove to Lake Havasu City where Keith grew up. He showed me his high school and the house he grew up in. We also were able to see several of his high school friends for dinner, which was really nice. While there we also saw our Pruvit team members, Chris and Dani Webb. They are so inspirational and they really do live a life of health and wellness, one we'd like to emulate. 

While there, it was our 2 year wedding anniversary (October 1st). We decided to go to dinner at Shugrue's. We've had the most amazing time together in these 2 years of marriage - I can't wait to see what the next 40+ years bring!

We wrapped up or Lake Havasu trip with breakfast with Lester, Keith's HS buddy. We then drove to the Grand Canyon to stay with another HS friend, Sara, for 2 nights. She and her husband live and work in the park. First night there we met Sara for sunset over the Grand Canyon - I had never been there before so it was quite the sight. I knew it was big but it is BIG!!! So glad I was able to experience it!

Our last stop on this 20 day tour was Phoenix. We had found out the Foo Fighters would be performing there and Keith has always wanted to see them. We were lucky enough to see one more HS friend, Tiffany and her husband, for dinner. the next night we met with another Pruvit team member, Shelley, she also was an inspiration. After this trip we feel so empowered by this company and are looking forward to building our business. That night was the Foo Fighters concert and it was GREAT! 

I fell in love with Arizona and can't wait to go back!

We flew home on October 10th during hurricane Michael so our flight was a bit delayed - thankfully we were able to get home safe and sound. The dogs were happy to see us after being gone so long - we really did miss them!

Can't wait till our next big trip!! :)

Reboot #3 In The Books

Pruvit Reboot #3

Our Best Friends Wedding

Keith and I had the pleasure of being apart of two of our favorite people getting hitched - Tricia and Hector. I have known Tricia since 4th grade so being there for her was very important to me.

They decided to get married on September 8th and we wanted to be there for them. Come to find out, Keith is ordained so he was asked to perform the ceremony. You have no idea how honored he was. He loves Hector like a brother so it was a very special moment for him. 

Pruvit Supplies

We flew to Florida a few days early so we could go see my Mom and spend some time with her and her husband. We were excited to see we had a huge stash of Pruvit delivered as our stash was running low and we needed to bring more back with us.

To stay on track we went for a long walk to stay active and managed to eat Keto while visiting. My mother is also doing the Keto diet with us and is in lobe with Pruvit - she loves the orange cream flavor the best and makes a shake daily!

After a few days, we drove down to Ft.Myers to meet up with our friends and get settled in our Airbnb we rented on the beach.

The wedding was on Saturday in Cape Coral and the weather cooperated perfectly for them. It was an awesome ceremony and I am so happy for both of them. We hope them a lifetime of love and happiness!

We were lucky enough to steal them for 2 nights in our Airbnb so we could spend time catching up and just enjoy our time together. Thanks guys for spending your honeymoon with us - we love you two so much!!

Staying Keto While in Florida

Keto Journey Updates - Before & Better Images

It's been 3 months in our Keto journey and 10 weeks using Prüvit. We couldn't be more pleased!

We've seen great results, but we still have a long way to go. We've had 2 trips to the U.S. and a 12 day cruise (as you know) and we still managed to lose over 20 lbs each.

These weren't easy photos to share but we wanted to show we are succeeding.

Proud of My Husband

He has lost over 20lbs on the Keto diet and with Pruvit - he is such an inspiration!!

He keeps me motivated, which has led me to also lose 20lbs. We have a journey ahead of us and we'd love for you to follow along.

If you need any help with Keto or Pruvit, please ask. We love to help others succeed!

Pruvit Reboot #2

For those of you not following us on Facebook, we are starting to do a reboot every month with Pruvit. What is a reboot you ask... Well, it's a 60 hour fast where you cleanse your body of sugar and glycogen. It's been really amazing for our Keto Journey.

So, reboot #2 is in the books! It was a struggle Saturday, but we made it. Sunday wasn't too bad. Keith got in a round of golf and I made some amazing food for this week. Keith thought it was crazy that I cooked but it really helped keep my mind off the hunger. It really is a mental challenge.

Each of us dropped a couple pounds and we both lost body fat which is most important. Reboot number #3 will be in September!

Our Keto Journey Continues

We started the Keto Lifestyle on May 31st and have been going strong for the last few months. Keith and I have lost around 15lbs each along with several inches all over. This has been the easiest diet that we have ever tried and we have committed to make it a lifestyle change. WE have been to Seattle and NYC and we managed to stay Keto, which wasn't hard. I even found pizza in NYC that I still think about... Like right now, I am thinking about it...

We plan to do some before and after pictures at the end of July, right before we embark on our 12 night cruise. The plan is to stay Keto there too.

We even stayed Keto in NYC

Living in Mexico has been a bit challenging in regards to finding a lot of the dietary items we have needed. Thankfully for trips to the States, friends visiting and a few health food stores in Playa, we have been able to find what we need.

I wanted to put together a list of items we have been using and really like. We recently added Pruvit to our diet and have fallen in love with that product so we signed up to be distributors. We wouldn't have done that had we not loved it. It has helped us stay in Ketosis, which we LOVE!!

Here are a few items we use often:
Pruvit Ketones - We do sell them so we are a bit biased but the only reason we do is b/c we loved them when we tried them and have continued to use them everyday. This is a big part of our day and workouts.
I only own two cook books - this one and this one - both have been great to have for recipes.
Keto Bark - when I don't feel like making fat bombs these are a great sweet treat.
Keto Mojo - we use this to test our blood for Ketosis
No Sugar Aloud Brownies - these are AMAZING! 
Miracle Noodles - miss pasta? These noodles are a great substitute. We had them for dinner the other night and you couldn't tell a big difference.
Swerve Sugar - great for baking
Nutribullet - we use this everyday for coffee, shakes, food... Must have kitchen accessory
Dash Rapid Egg Cooker - if you eat as many eggs as we do this is a godsend!
Psyllium Husk Powder - this was a hard item to find in Mexico so I had to get it in the US - great for cooking. I saw a recipe for fried chicken which I plan to try!
Ghee - great for cooking or bulletproof coffee
Tea - maybe TMI, but we love this tea when you are just feeling a wee bit full and need a nice cleanse... ;) (The above Amazon Affiliate links are actual products we have bought and currently use.)

I am sure there are more items and when I come across them I will update this post. 

We started a Keto group for our friends, please consider joining it if this is something you are interested in. We share recipes, give encouragement and just learn as much as we can.

KETO ON!!

Reboot #1 Updates

Keto Couple in the Riviera Maya

Not a photo we like...

So, a lot has happened in just a short week. Keith and I decided we have gained more weight that we care to admit, so it was time to make a change. After seeing several friends who are succeeding on the keto diet we decided to give it a try. In doing so we came across Prüvit and Keith started doing a lot of research about it, fell in love with it and signed up to be a distributor. Now he is nose deep learning all he can about keto and Prüvit. 

We have changed the way we are eating and actually getting out to exercise a bit more. We are posting about our journey in a few places, if you are interested in joining us or just following us. You can join our FB group Let's Keto Together, where we post recipes, talk about ideas, meet others, etc. We also have a Pruvit Riviera Maya page where Keith posts updates, videos and promos on products. We also have two Instagram accounts - one for Prüvit and one about our journey being Keto in the Riviera Maya.

Our Keto Breakfast

We are 6 days in and we have already been seeing great weight loss results. I have lost 4lbs and Keith is down 4.6lbs. We are planning our days out with MyFitnessPal, watching our macros and making sure we work together to get the results we both want. 

If you are interested in losing weight, join us! Motivation and community are a wonderful thing - let's do this!!
