WHO IS MEL?

THAT ABOUT SECTION

Well hey there, homegirl! Glad you found me.

My name is Melanie. I'm over 50, overweight (don't judge - it's temporary!), occassionaly overly-wordy and always over the top...expecially when I'm aiming straight for keto and crushin' it.

WHO IS MEL, ANYWAY?

I'm a mother of three sons, married, and a writer. I live in Southern California, where I have absolutely no excuse for being out of shape. I mean for God's sake, we have 354 high-sun index days a year. (For shame, Cate, for shame.)

I've also spent more than 40 years feeling out of control. Of a lot of things. I won't go into all of them here, but let's just say my weight has been one, and it's been a big one. (Ha! See what I did there?)

So I'm ready to make a change.

Ready to get skinny, fit and fed with me? Great! I'll be posting weekly weigh-ins, recipes (I'm no chef so trust me, these wil NOT be overly ambitious or out of the reach of anyone over the age of six who can read and stand in front of a stove), maudlin and self-serving pity-party memoirs, snippets of my day and more.

I'll also be reviewing anything I can get my hands on, because, well, I love doing that sort of thing.

My intent is to post an HONEST blog taking you through my actual weight loss and fitness journey on the keto (ketogenic) diet. Come on - kick some keto with me!
