Hello! I'm Liz from New Zealand. I like lifting, yoga, meditation, cats and real food. I'm currently following a paleo lchf lifestyle and my body quite likes it! I've struggled with an ED and depression for a long time, but my relationships with food and myself are much healthier now. I make gluten-free things sometimes; recipes at www.youtube.com/eccentriceats. Thanks for dropping by! Say hi maybe! :)

Made some almost healthy #proteinpancakes for Sunday brekkie! Accidentally made some salted caramel sauce to go on top. #cheatday šŸ˜ The pancakes themselves are so simple - just mix one banana, half a kumara, one egg and one scoop of protein powder.

Boarding gate thoughts

I suppose as we grow older we learn what we like and what we don't like, who we are and who we are not. And it helps us to make choices that lead us toward people and events and situations we would be happy and comfortable in, and away from things that would cause us pain. And that's a good thing. But at the same time it creates channels of least resistance, patterns of behaviour that become habits and routines and stop us from seeking out and experiencing the extraordinary.Ā  Perhaps we need this familiarity; perhaps our capacity to process novelty diminishes as our brains and bodies age. Or perhaps we feel we need this clearly defined sense of self to fit into the roles society fabricates for us, to feel accepted by our home tribe.Ā  Am I brave enough to reject or challenge that actuality? To remain open and fluid to the new and the different as I age in years? Should I even try? Why?Ā

I like the word 'self-development' much more than the word 'self-improvement'. Self-improvement feels like it carries the connotation that the self is made up of a fixed number of traits, skills, characteristics, some of which you'd like to improve upon. But the self is not fixed; it's constantly changing and evolving; every new experience influences our beliefs and theories about the world; today's priorities may not hold the same value tomorrow. Self-development, however, seems to convey more of a sense of wholeness and integration of the different aspects that make up the self; a sense of accepting yourself in this moment but at the same time, allowing that there's room for growth and expansion.

This is my transition to low carb

The left photos were after losing 60lbs, I was eating grains, fruit + I focused on high protein, moderate carbohydrate + low fat.Ā  I was lifting for quite a while + it has to be said that I saw barely ANY progress compared to the progress I have seen and felt with eating more fat and much less carbohydrate The photos show the difference between the above diet and keto (low carbohydrate and high fat). I now weigh 137lbs and I eat over 120g of fat a day. Keto has changed my life.

Create goals for yourself and work hard towards them but never lose sight of your complete and wondrous insignificance in this universe.

My Dad looked at me and told me that I shouldnā€™t work out so hard. That my body has been through a lot and I deserve a break. I am skinny enough, and I deserve to relax.

He doesnā€™t get it. Of course Iā€™m skinny enough. Iā€™m skinny enough. Iā€™m strong enough. Of course I am, because I am always enough. But Iā€™m not as strong as I could be. I havenā€™t experienced how fast I could possibly run, I havenā€™t felt the full extent of what my legs can lift. I want the fullest experience of being alive, and Iā€™m never going to get it on the couch. Yes, I deserve to relax. But I also deserve to see the full expression of my bodyā€™s abilities. I donā€™t work out to reach some aesthetic goal- I train because Iā€™m not even close to done exploring what Iā€™m capable of.

Giving away this box of Quest bars for my followers!

Reblog this as much as you wish between now and July 13thĀ (obviously must be following me, ketocami).

Iā€™ll choose one random winner andĀ Iā€™ll also go through all the reblogs and do a little promo of my favorite blogs (you donā€™t necessarily have to be a keto or even fitness blog)

**This is international but if the winner is outside of the US, Iā€™ll probably ship the dozen bars without the box theyā€™re in so I can put them in a bubble mailer to reduce shipping costs.
