Reached goal – now 154.8lbs

Posted on May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 by John

I had an arbitrary stretch goal of 155 lbs and I just made it at 154.8 lbs thanks to mix of good diet and daily exercise, and restricted-time meals (twice a day).  So what next?  I am hesitant to set a WEIGHT goal.  Maybe body fat % or something? Plant-based diet going well.  I still…

New low and a dietary change

Posted on April 21, 2022April 21, 2022 by John

Wow, 157.6lbs – I have not weighed this since high school. So I have been thinking about next steps with my nutritional plan and I do not feel Keto is a good idea for long term for a few reasons. constipation.  For me at least it has been too much effort to simply poo regularly…

Finally passed average for VO2 Max (cardio fitness)

Posted on March 31, 2022March 31, 2022 by John

This week I climbed above 33 (33.3 today) for my VO2 max.  I started at 30 and it slowly increased as I began to exercise, and as expected as I started to trail run it showed faster improvement.  I don’t know what my goal is here but I would like to hit “high” cardio fitness…

Pre-pandemic best weight beat!

Posted on March 17, 2022March 31, 2022 by John

My best weight pre-pandemic was 162.2.  I have not been weighing myself regularly but a random check today has me at 160.4 lbs.  So goal achieved!  I guess for now I will aim for 155 as long as I am healthy about it.  I am reviewing new keto findings which may have me changing my…

So close!

Posted on March 2, 2022March 2, 2022 by John

Random weigh-in: 162.8lbs.  So close to be ultimate pre-pandemic low when I was doing the KMA workouts (162.2lbs).  Nice. I still have a little flab which makes me wonder what my ideal weight goal should be.  I was 155lbs before I started high school but I was also not in super shape (as in, I…

My poop weighs a pound

Posted on February 16, 2022February 17, 2022 by John

Been really busy with work but kept to some semblance of my daily workouts, with less walking than usual. outside of the last two days.  Pretty sure the stress and a bit of decadent (but still keto) eating over weekend not helping with progress. Feeling stronger thanks to the workouts. Definite improvement in form with…

Finished GMB Elements!

Posted on February 5, 2022February 5, 2022 by John

I did it!  Finished the 42nd and final session.  I though I had one more so this was a surprise.  I have done this program before but always cut out around the second or third week.  I admit it sometimes gets boring, or at least does not excite me at times.  Partly it is because…

Check-in after chaotic week

Posted on February 2, 2022February 2, 2022 by John

Was a busy week at work with a massive transition starting this week.  I kept to diet, and pretty much kept to workout with maybe a day missed.  Missed a few Wim Hof breathing and showers. First weigh-in in several days but looks good: 164.4, down 2lbs since the 28th! This week I started the…

Cheat Day Recovery Progress

Posted on January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 by John

Just curious to see how long it takes to bounce back from my semi-cheat meal that included some sugar and more carbs than usual.  Rest was dirty keto at worse. Today weight is down to 166.6lb so already on path to where I was.  Just one pound to go! Only other thing I noticed yesterday…
