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…

My poop weighs a pound
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!
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
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
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…
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…
