Joy’s Journey with Ketopia- Day 9

Today is Day 9 & I am so happy my Ketopia doesn’t end tomorrow! So glad we bought enough Ketopia to do 3 10-Day Reset programs “back to back”……

Today I learned that eating OUT is easy when I am on Ketopia!

Today was a different day, being on Ketopia, as I was out of the house most of the day… and had a luncheon ‘date’ that I could not change. No worries Ketopia is SIMPLE –PORTABLE and EASY!

What IS my morning ritual on Ketopia?

My morning ritual is to drink the KetonX first thing in the morning after a glass of water. TIP: Make sure you SIP it for at least 30-45 minutes. Don’t ask me why- I heard someone tell me that is what they did that worked for them – so I copied them. Although I am normally a gulper- OK, ‘guzzler’, no matter what the beverage, so I have made sure to TAKE MY TIME and savor the KetonX drink. This is the drink that actually tastes like a creamsickle and the drink that puts your body into a quick and healthy state of ketosis….within hours! It is YUMMY! This is a KEY product in the Ketopia10-Day Reset Program!

Then 2-3 hours later I typically have my Dough bite. Today I ate it on my way into town, while driving the car. A Dough bite, eaten slowly with water is VERY FILLING and satisfying. My brother and I took my folks out to lunch at a retirement community that they are checking out and the menu was fabulous…. It was a 3 and 4 course meal for lunch- with choices galore and many that I could select while on Ketopia. But….I was not hungry at all- and had no problem watching everyone (5 others) at the table enjoy soup, their choice of a main course, and dessert. Hmmm, THAT was quite unusual -I’m quite sure I have ever NOT EATEN while OTHERS EAT, but on Ketopia it truly was easy. I enjoyed conversation AND 2 8 ounce glasses of water instead.

I didn’t get home until 4:30 pm, which is later than I usually have my FIXX shake, so had a quick FIXX shake before I even settled in my office. I mixed it with cold water, put a drop of peppermint essential oil in it, shook it up and Voila…another healthy meal. IT OFFERS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND PROTEIN IN ONE! . (Side bar on the FIXX – it is such a fabulous meal replacement: fixx®) It’s a delicious 24-Karat Chocolate meal replacement energy shake that is made with the highest-quality clean ingredients to support your weight management goals. FIXX features cold-processed New Zealand whey from clean pasture-raised cows that contains no hormones or second-hand antibiotics, and is 99% lactose free. They also have added 30 organic fruits and vegetables, along with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and probiotics to provide you with a naturally nutritious meal replacement option!!!!

Dinner Time

6 pm….Back home and feeling totally satisfied. Tonight Dave prepared a healthy salad with lots of veggies, hard boiled egg, feta and blue cheese, olives and a small grilled piece of chicken.

On Ketopia drink lots of water…..to help flush toxins from your body and keep you hydrated. I always enjoy a glass of Pulse-8 in the evening, too.

D-DAY…..The Count-Down is ON!
Tomorrow I will strip down to my jog bra and “skort” and have Dave take pictures of me on Day 10! I have tried not to obsess about the scale as it is just one way of assessing success and to date, I have dropped 5 pounds. I wish it were more, but honestly the other shifts in NO cravings, inch loss, mental clarity and energy are sufficient enough to stay motivated. So tomorrow I’ll post pictures (hmmm, if I have the courage and show MY physical changes that have occurred over the 10 Day Reset.

Blogging Results!
Today Dave wrote a great blog on his Day 7 with Ketopia. In the blog he discussed the SCALE and WEIGHT LOSS and how THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE is not even in the TOP 3 reasons why people want to lose weight. The BLOG really IS worth reading…especially for us ladies who tend to obsess with the numbers on the scale rather than our body composition. https://joysfaves.com//dave-day-7-on-ketopia/
I really can relate and I think it is important for all of us to understand that the SCALE is yet one of many ways to measure your progress with Ketopia. Yes it is easy (step on step off), but what is far more important are your measurements, your Body Fat %, your BMI and your final assessment of HOW YOU FEEL! This is why it is crucial to fill out our document to help track your progress. (Email info@fgxnow.com for the document!)
Back in my late 20’s I was in great “aerobic shape”. I sported a one piece unitard with a black thong (yes this was the era of leg warmers too!)…and had a variety of high top Reebok sneakers-a pair in bright green, a blue pair and also black pair. Needless to say, I loved aerobics – much like many people are part of the ZUMBA Dance Craze or Cross-Fit these days. But I remember being fit and lean, with a body fat that probably hovered around 18-20%. One day a Personal Trainer from the Weight Training part of the gym literally dragged me from the aerobic room to the free weight room. He convinced me with my genetics that I could and would love weight lifting….really?
This is back in the day when very FEW women were lifting weights

I honestly got HOOKED ON DAY ONE! The power that the ‘IRON’ gave me was phenomenal and I loved the feelings of getting stronger. The only thing is as I continued lifting weights I GAINED WEIGHT – muscle weight. It took months for me to understand the difference between the scale and body composition (and during that time I learned to stay OFF the scale as to not get discouraged), but once I realized that although I had initially gained weight- my body FAT actually went down to between 12-15%…where it stayed for over a decade.

LESSON: Stay OFF the SCALE!

So….. with anyone (and I AM speaking out loud to myself here!) going on the Ketopia 10-Day Reset please make sure that you have realistic goals for your 10 Days and that you enjoy the MANY changes that will occur. Yes, you will lose weight- but because this program addresses BODY FAT LOSS more than weight, you’ll notice inch loss perhaps more than weight loss.

So….pull out your tester clothes! Set some realistic goals and enjoy your KETOPIA journey! Everyone I have spoken with that has started is program is in LOVE with how they feel and the simplicity of the program. Even my daughter told me today (she is on day 5) that although she only imagined herself doing this for 10 days- that she wants me to set up an auto ship so she can enjoy it on an ongoing basis. cool….

D-Day Tomorrow. Measurements- Pictures- Weigh-In….Day 10

I am confident it will be a glorious day compared to Day 1 where I literally did cry when I got weighted measured and had my before “photo shoot”. Stay tuned….. and join us in YOUR JOURNEY!
