The downward weight loss trend continues, and I’m actually beginning to become surprised. Once I stopped tracking calories, I thought that my maintenance weight would be in the mid 140’s.
However, this month I weighed in the 130’s for the first time since growing up.
This also included about 3-4 times where I cheated with carbs, but I’m so tuned into the keto diet that I immediately want to get back on track after a binge such as this.
I immediately feel worse, and it usually lasts until the next day. And at this point in my life, I’m trying to limit the amount of time I feel crappy because of eating crappy.
My physical activity has continued this month, and I’m regularly doing push-ups, kettlebell swings and other forms of exercise during the morning. I really want to incorporate pull-ups, because they are exponentially harder than push-ups. That would build muscle faster, but I’m going for tone at the moment.
My current push-up max in one set is 51, compared to 40 last month.
Plus I started with my glucose tests, which I plan to perform weekly with whole foods. The first two weeks were Italian salami and steel cut oats.
Once the data comes in for dozens of foods, I’m hoping to learn a lot as well as uncover surprises that I may not have expected.
