A Keto Holiday.....

     On Thursday, we attended the worst ever Thanksgiving dinner! The turkey was extremely dry. The gravy was canned, and the green beans were covered with ordinary mushroom soup and topped with onion crisps.  The desserts were similar to those at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet.  We expected a lovely buffet meal because it was at an upscale resort called Semiahmoo and was very expensive.  Instead, it was set up like a school cafeteria lunch, but the food was less appetizing.  It was okay for me because I'm sticking to my keto diet, but what a disappointment to others, especially given the price.  We purchased tickets in advance but would not have had we seen the food and layout ahead of time.  None of the menu items tempted me.  I chose the only palatable items available, and both were salads. We won't do that again if we are in Birch Bay over another Thanksgiving.  We are heading out to Hawaii on Tuesday early in the morning. Both of us are looking forward to getting there. I'm anxious to enjoy the beautiful days and evenings hanging out on the Lanai of our little mango shack. I'm still losing weight consistently. As I said last week, I'm not doing anything differently. However, with the hormone support, my workouts and keto diet are making a difference. Of course, we'll shift from our workout place in Canada to 24-hour fitness in Kapolei. It's an excellent facility, but I much prefer the facility in Canada. Still, I'm not complaining. We're blessed to have places available. I treated myself to a facial on Friday, and it was great! I went to a Lady in White Rock, BC, who was recommended by a young woman I met at my Zumba class.  She and her husband joined Steve and me for lunch after our workout at an excellent Vietnamese restaurant they frequent.  This is a season for meeting new people.  We met a lovely couple at the terrible Thanksgiving meal. They regularly travel to Oahu, so we plan to get together the next time they visit. They got our contact information.  Also, we've made arrangements to attend the Nutcracker Ballet in Honolulu.  Of course, we'll have several graduation activities to attend to celebrate our Jake. In the meantime, I'm continuing with keto, my regular exercising, and continue having success losing weight!
