808 Happy and Healthy

Sorry for the lack of health updates on this blog.  I have been active on my Instagram.  I tried to do Keto last year and failed!  In the end I had preferred to do an intuitive carb cycling.  I usually avoid process food and snacking!  Since going back to work I’ve been leaning more to Low Carb/Keto.  I had gestational diabetes during pregnancy and my Hemoglobin A1C did creep up to 5.5 as of August 2019!  I want to make sure I do not become a diabetic!  So I started to track my net carbs on Carb Manager, but I didn’t want to mess up my milk supply.  When I went back to work I started to meal prep again and being more mindful of what carbs I was eating.  I did eat oatmeal, but cut back on bread, rice, sweets.  So far no problems with my breastfeeding! I decided to try Keto Carnivore in October.   I was inspired to try this way of eating after meeting Arlene  @selflovehawaii  and Krystal  @k3to.krys...

I met some amazing new friends.  I’ve followed a few of these ladies on Instagram and I was finally was able to meet them in person for the first Oahu Keto Meetup .  This meet up was hosted by Arlene @selflovehawaii , Krystal @k3to.krysnica  and Amy @808keto at Dickey’s BBQ Pit at Kapolei, Hawaii.  We were able to get to know everyone’s why they started keto and their success, all while eating good bbq food!  Then we got to taste Keto goodies and take home some goodies!  Check out the @oahuketomeetup Instagram for future meet ups! I got to try some Kawaii Treat Cookies mix from the meetup!  Check out Keto cookie highlights  

March 2019, 8 months pregnant vs 12 weeks postpartum.  I’ve been maintaining my weight at 149 (4 pounds away from prepregnancy weight) with no dip in my breastmilk supply.  I have 340 ounces of milk for baby in the freezer.  The challenge will be if I can continue to pump when I go to work.  I hope I can pump 8+ ounces while I’m away from baby.  Back to work tomorrow #maternityleaveisover BTW My sister became the leader of the No Excuse Mom Ewa Beach.  If you in Oahu and want some free online support and workout check out :  Facebook group page

Aloha!  Wow it’s been a 6 months since my last blog post!  Sorry for lack of postings. I finally got married and we are expecting baby #2 in May.  I was training for the Honolulu Marathon which was in December and signed up for the Biastin Marathon Readiness Series which was in August, but after my second race, I started suffering from sciatica pain and had to stop running.  I’ve done some light weight training and cardio during my pregnancy, but I was not consistent, first trimester symptoms kicked my ass and my motivation has been all over the place!  So now that the new year is here, I need to find something to keep me and baby healthy.  I’m going to try Tone It Up !  I signed up for the Love Your Body Series and I’m getting acquainted with the iOS app, Toutube and Website.  I’ve been following Katrina and Karena on Instagram for a while so I decided let’s join the #tiuteam #tiupregnancy.  Wish me luck!

We went to the the North Shore which we normally do around my birthday.  We went in the to Ehukai Pillbox, Uncle Bo’s and took picture at the infamous angel at Anahulu Shave Ice.

Do you need to lose weight?  Have you tried Beachbody? Don’t worry this is not a sales pitch.  We all want to lose some weight and look better.  I know I wanted to lose some baby weight.  I started seeing people who used Beachbody on Facebook ads and got great results.  Is this real?  I was definitely intrigue and started following them. Now before I continue, this is not a hate post!  I still support Beachbody, but only as a previous customer who had success with their products.  I was a paying Team Beachbody member and Beachbody coach since 2014 and decided to stop doing this about 2017.  I originally signed up as a coach after I lost 50 pounds postpartum doing 21 day fix.  I was so excited with my results I wanted to share it with the world!  Because of my success my coach recommend for me to become a coach so that I can benefit in the sales of my success! I joined Beachbody coaching and started to promote their products on...
