A Very Active Day

Posted on December 30, 2021December 31, 2021 by John

So my normal morning routine the past 2 weeks as been: 15 mins of IntuFlow (a mobility primer) as a warm up 45 minutes of GMB’s Elements program as a functional mobility workout 5-10 mins of back-strengthening exercises and stretches (to undo damage of 2 years of sitting) and as of this week the Wim…

Finally broke below 170lbs

Posted on December 30, 2021December 31, 2021 by John

I have not been able to get below 170lbs after hitting it on 12/18.  I pretty much hovered there except when I jumped to 171 after a cheat(ish) meal just before Christmas with a visiting friend.  Today I weighed in at 169.2 lbs, I am not really fixated on my weight since the important thing…

I F-ing Hate Cold

Posted on December 27, 2021December 31, 2021 by John

Day 1 of Week 1 for the Wim Hof cold shower challenge.  I should have recorded it since the sounds I made were interesting to say the least.  That was a rough 15 seconds.  I did not get my head under the shower but I did manage to get the rest of my body into…

Starting the Wim Hof method fundamentals course

Posted on December 27, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

So I was watching a german youtuber I like and he out of the blue shared some of his health issues he has behind the scenes and how the Wim Hof methods surprisingly helped him. I had see others in the past bring this up but sounded like some random trend.  This guy however, has…

Psyllium Husk Powder works

Posted on December 25, 2021December 31, 2021 by John

So the last 2 days I started adding a little psyllium husk powder to my morning electrolyte drink since a colleague reminded me that can help with constipation from the keto diet.  Ironically I already had it on hand since I had purchased it with the expectation I may need it.  I had forgotten about…

Apple Cider Vinegar

Posted on December 24, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

I started drinking 2 tbsps of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water in the morning.  It helps with fasting and has some health benefits.  I thought why not give it a go?! Nasty stuff but folks say you get used to it quickly.  We shall see! I ordered a stainless steel straw since…

Keto Progress/Report

Posted on December 19, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

I shared my findings to date on my keto journey with some colleagues who share an interest in personal transformation and growth. So I am sharing a portion of that below since it would be relevant here… —- I had been learning about this diet off and on for quite some time but it took…

Exercise back in the mix

Posted on December 18, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

Well I have been dragging my legs on this, but now that my energy level on keto has stabilized it’s time to start exercising regularly again.  Last time I did the krav maga fitness thing which was pretty extreme, like a boot camp.  It certainly worked but since then I have learned that much effort…

Weigh in

Posted on December 14, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

172.0 lb. Looks like steady progress, especially since I have been intermittent fasting with 2 meals a day, skipping breakfast.

Plateau?

Posted on December 7, 2021January 8, 2022 by John

Seem to be stuck in that 174 lb range still even with the fasting and keeping to keto-safe foods.  I think I may be eating more protein than needed which may add to that.  Anyway, not really worried about it since I am not fixated on weight.  Its just the easiest way to gauge progress….
