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