100 Days

5'7", 48 year old male
SW: 273 CW:217

Scale Victory:
Started my Keto journey 100 Days ago.  I am now 56 pounds down. I started off with doing strict Keto, removing sugar, highly processsed foods, and caffeine from my diet.  Yes, you can live without caffeine.  After a few weeks of doing Keto I also started fasting. Normally my schedule works good with a 16:8 fasting schedule.  But, have also done a couple of three day fast and a lot of 20:4 fasts. After the initial water weight loss, I have been averaging a two to three pound loss per week.  One thing that helps a lot is keeping a journal of what you eat on a daily bases.  I use Samsung health and help my wife uses Cronometer to track our food intake and our daily macros.

 Non-Scale Victories:
I am on my third belt.  I have gained incredible mental clarity.  Also, I now have extra energy at the end of the day. The best part is having my oldest son ask me to go to the gym and work out with him.  Then my youngest son asked me to start running with him.  These are two teenage boys, who as most teenagers, would rather not be seen with their parents.

 My wife received a prediabetic result from her doctor a few weeks ago and is now doing Keto with me.  She also has MS and I am hoping it helps with her MS symptoms.  Also, my brother and sister-in-law have joined the Keto journey with us.

 If you have been thinking about doing Keto, quit thinking and just do it.

Tuesday -Lunch

We went out for lunch today and I ordered a Steak House Salad.  I would estimate it 3-4 cups salad, 6 oz. steak and ranch dressing.  Sometimes the problem with eating out is figuring out all the macros.  I estimate it to be around 600 -800 calories

Marathon Training - Week 2

Monday - Rain Today started week 2 of marathon training.   Today was a speed work day. On the schedule for today, was 3 sets of 1 mile runs at my 5K race pace. I did some stretches this morning before running which seemed to aggravate my ankle just a little.  Just for a little added challenge, it was raining with a blowing wind today.  It was a fairly warm 72F, so at least it wasn't a cold rain. I find that running in the rain helps your mental game by training your mind to deal with adversity.  It also helps you boost confidence. Suddenly when your the only one out running and you don't see any of the normal people you see out running you feel all the more like the toughest runner. For lunch, I had keto nachos made with pork rinds, hamburger, mozzarella cheese, and sour cream.  For dinner, we had pot roast and broccoli.

Marathon Training - Week Three

Sunday - Rest Day This week the milage jumps up.  On Monday and Wednesday I'll be running six miles and on Tuesday and Thursday five miles. Then on Saturday it will be 12 miles.  There may be some sweet equity involved this week. In any case today is a rest day.  So, this evening I will just be doing some stretching to get the muscles relaxed for this week. For lunch today I had steak and eggs and then afterwards are a few pecans.  If all goes as planned this should be my only meal for the day. Marathon training does require you to be extreme.  But it does requires daily consistency to slowly building up your endurance to achieve the extreme. Remember to Keep Calm and Keto On!
