Keto Lifestyle Newbie!

Hello everyone! My name is Danielle, I have type 2 diabetes, and am obese, but I am looking to change that this year! I've been researching the keto diet ever since a friend told me about it last November and finally made the commitment on February 26. Day 3 is almost done!
A little about me: I was born and raised in southern California, moved to eastern Utah in 2007, got married, got divorced, moved to England, did not get a visa to live, moved back to Utah, and rebuilt my life from nothing at that point. I also remarried to the love of my life who is my best friend and my biggest cheerleader. It's because of him I want to be a better, healthier, happier person. Well, I'm definitely happier, so I'm trying to be healthier.
I work in an office setting, so I have a mostly sedentary life. My treadmill recently broke down on me, so now I don't even have that option of exercise any more. I'm intimidated to go to a gym, so I try to use YouTube videos to keep some semblance of fit, but I still have been pretty lax on that front.
I love to read and have joined the GoodReads Reading Challenge for 2018. I'm currently on book 8 for the year. I also love to binge watch TV shows on Netflix, my favorite of all time being Friends. But my husband and I are watching (for the first time) Sons of Anarchy and love it. I have a cat named Cali who is my world. And I'm super organized! (Virgo here!)
I bullet journal my life, and keep track of it on Instagram (along with Cali at xDaniDragonflyx) and my nail art (at UtahNailPrincess). I get lost on Pinterest for hours and ride motorcycles with my husband in the warm months.
Please friend me to help me stay accountable!! Also because I'm not sure how to friend anyone!
