I wish I had weighed myself before I left the house yesterday so I had better accuracy. This is what I have: 1/18: 165.6 Today: 167.2 Amazing what a little sugar and carbs can do. This is with all that walking too. Well, I’m not stressing it. I will try to check weight daily for…

First real cheat day
Had dim sum in the city today. I don’t like to think about cheat days. To me, I call them a treat day. They are infrequent and I have no reason to feel guilty when I am treating myself responsibly. Still, I picked items that were mostly keto friendly, perhaps dirty keto with one exception…
One Minute is where things get serious
Started 1 minute cold showers this week. The last few weeks of building up have paid off since it is quite doable now, albeit I don’t look forward to them. What I have noticed is only now am I starting to actually experience the cold. Before now, what I was really experiencing is the shock…
General updates
I have been pretty busy at work so I wanted to be sure to do a quick check-in on all I am doing: Keto: nothing particular to report. Still keeping to it. Probably should not snack as much, but it is within moderation. I could go for a nice crispy french fry but otherwise…
Making 45 seconds easier
Starting 45 seconds of cold shower ala Wim Hof method was off to a rough start but then I recall an interview where someone who was getting into the method note that he preferred the ice baths over the showers since with the shower you are in a constant state of getting shocked as you…
Missed something with the cold showers
So I have been keeping to the Wim Hof practice – breathing and cold showers daily but I did not watch this past week’s video lesson until now. It was about stress, and most of it was same stuff you can get for free again but he did cover two important things (for me) when…
Unexpected Progress
Well it’s been a short but stressful week at work and I found myself snacking a little, albeit reasonably healthily and in moderation. I also took a break from my workout routine yesterday since I was feeling a little achy in some of my joints and had pushed my flexibility a bit in the workout…
Laughing in the shower
Day 1 of week 2 of Wim Hof method. This week in the cold shower challenge I move to 30 seconds under the cold water. As usual I was dreading the idea, especially since it was cold outside – 18 degrees so the water would be extra cold and there was a chill in the…
Weigh in after that active day
Scale reads 168.2 this morning. So I lost exactly 1 lbs after all that. I was expecting 2 lbs, but this is fine. Again, not fixated on weight. Just interesting to see that disconnect between expectations and reality. The only goal I would like to meet is to break below 162 which was my best…
Cold Shower challenge – 5 day streak!
Yes! Day 5 of week 1 for cold showers. Just 15 minutes this week, tho today I lingered a bit. It’s definitely much easier than day 1 for certain. But what is going on here? I am sure some of this has to do with the body acclimating to it, but I am certain much…
