At 49, dealing with weight can be challenging. We started keto about 4 years ago. Within 15 months, I lost 60+ pounds, and my husband lost nearly 200. The "old-fashioned" way with diet and exercise. IT IS POSSIBLE! Here is what we ate so we could feel "normal" and not deprived. I have tried what seems like everything - these are the closest to the "real thing" as I have found - and I'm a foodie for a living.

#LTKfoodie #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

All the flavor of honey - without the sugar spike or the sugar alcohols. Perfect keto sweetener when you just need a little something to curb the cravings. You'll never know it isn't real honey.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie

This apple cider vinegar is an inexpensive way to lower your blood sugar (or reduce a spike). So simple - just make sure it is raw, organic, and includes the mother.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKselfcare #LTKfoodie

We have this zero-sugar jello for dessert almost every night, unless we are upping our carb count for the day. This is super low-cal, low-carb, super cheap, and takes a minute to prep. We would be lost without this simple snack. ZERO SUGAR - we can have sweets without worrying about the waistline.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKselfcare #LTKfoodie

Such a clean and refreshing scent - love this air freshener. Spray it in every room.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKHome

This walking pad is so handy when I can't get outside. I bought it when we lived in Hawaii, and it was too rainy, and one of the few things we actually paid to ship back to the mainland when we came to Montana. It has been great for these long Montana winters. I love that it folds up compactly for easy storage.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKselfcare #LTKActive

Every single morning - I take these 2 things - so important to have creatine and collagen as we age. Super important that you get quality creatine that isn't cut with fillers or loaded with sugar. Also very important that it is Pure Creapure Creatine, all the others are basically only giving you a small percentage of the benefits. This collagen protein powder delivers the most protein I have found while avoiding all the added sugar.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare

One simple ingredient - I buy this giant tub and portion it into this small jar to keep in my drawer. This is the final step in my nightly skincare routine. This goes on top of all my other face products. Hydrating, and when I wake up, my face is hydrated and glassy.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I'm 49 - mom to 3 grown kids, and grandmother to 3. Here is my no-makeup makeup I use daily just to feel fresh and vibrant.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

These slide mule loafers are so comfortable. I looked high and low for a pair that was black suede, with the horse bit buckle at an affordable price. These nailed it, and they go with so many different outfits.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKMidsize #LTKWorkwear

This is literally nature's Botox. While it doesn't freeze the face, it does lock in all your other products so they don't just evaporate off your skin. I use this every single night as the second-to-last step in my nightly routine.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

This oil cleanser not only takes off ALL of my makeup, including the eye makeup. But it is so gentle, it doesn't hurt my eyes - ever. Incredible!

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I couldn't maintain my platinum hair without this super nourishing cream. It makes it silky soft and helps strengthen and reduce breakage.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Don't neglect your hands when it comes to skincare - they will give away your age just like your neck if you don't nourish them. I use this hand cream every single night right before I get into bed.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Every single night, this goes on my neck and chest for deep hydration. It works so well that I still feel moisturized late into the next morning. We absolutely must not forget this area - it deserves as much attention as our face. (note packaging has changed since the last time I purchased)

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

The build-up from dry shampoo is just not ideal. I love this waterless shampoo because while it goes on damp, it dries just like you just washed your hair. No residue, just clean.

#LTKselfcare #LTKActive #LTKBeauty

These slide mule loafers are so comfortable. I looked high and low for a pair that was black suede, with the horse bit buckle at an affordable price. These nailed it, and they go with so many different outfits.

This room spray takes me back to my garden in Hawaii - the smell is heavenly. It is light and luxurious. I spray it throughout the whole house.

#LTKHome

I can't live without this liquid blush. It gives the perfect glow and natural color. This one is in cheeky coral.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I'd be lost without this balm. I use it on flyaways, rehydrating and giving a dewy finish under the eyes, rehydrating the cuticles and tops of hands after lots of hand washing, elbows, knees, lips, and so much more.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

It is so important to protect yourself from things you don't even know are there. If you live in a warm, humid climate - you most likely have things in the air that can harm you. This spray is essential for protecting against that.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

After washing, the first thing I add to my face is this spray - hydrating and smells so incredibly pleasant.

Tightens pores and soothes.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I'm all about nourishing my skin. These body oils not only hydrate without leaving you feeling greasy, but they also smell like heaven. These two scents take me back to my garden full of tropical flowers in Hawaii.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

This toothpaste may seem pricy - but it is worth all the hype it is getting. Does a great job cleaning, while keeping my super sensitive teeth feeling great.

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

When the command strips aren't enough - this wreath hook for the front door is the answer. Not only is it easy to install, but super sturdy too.

#LTKHome

This tinted serum gives the most gorgeous finish - dewy, glowy skin.

I love all the products - clean ingredients and feel so luxurious!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Kids need a fun space of their own when they are at Gigi's house.

I put together this super cute gender-neutral grandbaby space in the large walk-in closet in the guest room, for all the grandkids to enjoy when they visit us in Montana.

Neutral black tennis - affordable enough that you can get them in every color.

I love these because they are comfortable and understated. They pull the look together without being a distraction.

#LTKmomlife #LTKActive

All black, but with just enough detail to have that feminine touch.
These super comfortable neutral tennis shoes are a great staple to keep in the closet when you need that perfect piece that doesn't become the focal point and distract from the ensemble.

#LTKmomlife #LTKActive

I just keep reaching for these tennis shoes again and again. The neutral brown with a slightly thicker sole makes them great to pair with so many outfits. They are available in so many other colors, too.

Comfortable, brown, tennis shoes, casual wear

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKActive

Out of all the tennis shoes I have bought this spring, these ones have been worn the most. I just keep grabbing for them because they go with everything and they were super comfortable on day one.

#LTKmomlife #LTKActive

I have bought these heels in so many colors because they go with so many things. Dressed up or down, they work with so much. Plus, they are super comfortable with a wider heel tip.

#LTKMidsize

So chic, so classy, just the right amount of fuss to make these heels dressy, but they can be dressed up or down. Plus, they are comfortable for all-night wear too.
