Weight Loss Update – August 2016

Keto Weight Loss Update August 2016The 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.

Numbers:

Starting Weight: 141 lbs

Ending Weight: 139 lbs

Monthly Weight Loss: 2 lbs

Total Weight Loss (Since 11/1/2015): 37 lbs

Noteworthy

  • Lowest Weight EVER recorded (again): 138 lbs
  • This is month #2 of consistent strength training
  • I weighed myself more as I approached the 140 lb barrier
  • Cheese danishes are my cheat of choice these days
  • Went to Cape May, NJ for a day trip, drank one beer (~7 total in 2016)

Hit another new low yesterday morning, and I was genuinely surprised because I weighed in at 142.4 only 5 days before. Goes to show the random fluctuations. I have 2 explanations (because I'm not being extreme with limiting carbs, maybe 40-50g/day) – more high intensity physical activity is burning these off, or my metabolism is running more efficiently and can handle a high-carb day better than in the past. I'm planning on testing my glucose with oatmeal this week so that'll be interesting.

I bought so much meat and cheese today at the grocery store. This t-bone was calling my name since it was reduced price. And I took a coupon from a friend for free broccoli since he hates it. Win-win, and produced a colorful meal with #homegrown peppers and squash. The steak was demolished immediately after putting down my phone.
