However with a baby and limited funds, we had to cook with what we have at home.  Thus our name:  #indoorcheflife .  Check out some of his cooking on Instagram!  Please note, not all pictures in this hashtag our from my 808happyandhealthy Instagram View this post on Instagram A post shared by Happy Healthy Jenn (@808happyandhealthy) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Happy Healthy Jenn (@808happyandhealthy) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Happy Healthy Jenn (@808happyandhealthy) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Happy Healthy Jenn (@808hap...

So I started doing Keto Carnivore in October.  I tried to keep up, but then the holiday happened!  That is ok, can’t stress about it.  I continued to track my ketone readings with Keto Coach  and participated in the #ketosisholidaychallenge and won my first giveaway  Peppermint Mocha Power Creamer !  I am so happy and grateful that I can try this product!  Thank you Ketocoach and Power Creamer for their generosity! 808 Happy and Healthy is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com and any other website that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates

I’m back into my size 4 shorts.  I’ve been a size 12 then I lost 50 pounds with clean eating, portions control and lots of exercise.  I felt super restricted and unsatisfied.  I gained some weight back, but losing weight this time around has been easier with meal prep and keto!  I never feel deprive, you just need to be creative!  It’s crazy how just changing your diet and mindset can make a big difference!  My goal was never to be skinny!  It’s to be a healthy mama for my little ones!

I was able to attend Windward Keto Meetup hosted by @kealohas_journey .  She did an amazing job!  So happy to be here, see old friends, meet new friends, try awesome keto goodies, win awesome keto prizes and take home more keto goodies.  Check out @808alohasquad_meetups for future meet ups! You can see more on my Instagram Keto highlights:  Here   From the meetup I got to try:  What a scrub  and  Maui Keto Treats  

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
