It's Christmas

and I know I'm out of NK.

I didn't eat any grains or sugar, however I've been enjoying too much of everything else.

Time to get back on the LCHF horse. I just packed my lunch for tomorrow..cheese and turkey rollups with a chocolate fat bomb.

Next week at this time

I'll be on Day 1 of 3 days of walking.

Around and around a one mile loop.

I'll be almost 12 hours in.

I need to find more hobbies...

The world didn't blow up today

and it's winter solstice.

Seems like a good time to begin another 100 day experiment.

I'm still doing Nutritional Ketosis. I think this will be a year long project, not just 100 days. I feel so good that I don't want it to end.

I'm thinking about trying Fast-5 again.

I've started and stopped Fast-5 more times than I can count. This time I may be successful. Since I'm keto-adapted, I don't even get hungry until the afternoon. I've been eating a protein/fat meal around 10am, just because I feel like I should eat something. But I'm not hungry when I do so.

Hmm...100 days would be from tomorrow until April 1.

Let's see what happens.

UPDATE...I forgot that next weekend I plan on walking 100 miles. Fast-5 will have to wait until January.

Today was mega stressful

Tomorrow might not be much better.

The good news is that I didn't stray from my keto-diet.

Around 8am I ate some ham, roast beef and cheese.

No hunger until around 4pm.

My glucose reading was 69.
Ketones were 1.9.

Before I was fat-adapted, today would have been a carb-fest. Today, I didn't even consider it. That's a huge step for me.

Hooray for Starbucks!

They use Kerrygold butter!


When I stop in for my venti bold coffee, I ask for a couple pats of butter. I use it on the ham or eggs that I have in my car for breakfast.

Fasting Glucose was 79.
Ketones went down to 1.2.

Couple things

My original plan was to maintain ketone numbers in the 1's. I may try for a higher number.

Today my ketone reading was 2.1. Although the 1's feel good, the 2's feel even better!

I ate breakfast around 8am. I didn't even think about food until 4. No hunger, not even thoughts about eating. 

Being in the 2's may be the best place to be.

I've also been working on upping my fat uptake. I'm double checking my meals to ensure there is ample amounts of avocado, butter, cheese, mayo, etc.

I'm still learning...
