Three Day Fast Finished

I just finished a three day fast and feeling pretty good.  Went out for lunch today with my wife. Just had some salad and soup.  Unfortunately. I'm thinking the soup, vegetable beef soup, may of had a lot of carbs.  It tasted pretty sweet, but I can't be certain how many carbs it had.  But it may just be my taste buds readjusting.  I took a blood ketone test before lunch and the meter just said high. Yesterday, the ketone blood test showed 3.3 and the day before that was 1.1.  So, three days of fasting put me in a very high rate of ketosis.

Now to finish the rest of the month doing squeaky clean keto.  The restraunt we went to today had a salad bar.  I put some shredded cheese on my salad just by habit before I remembered I was doing the squeaky clean keto challenge.  So, instead of eating the cheese I just pushed it to the side. 

A lot of the keto diet is really just about breaking old eating habits and creating a new relationship with food.  A relationship where food is not in the center of everything.  Changing your mind set from "living to eat" to "eating to live".

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!
