Good
morning! I’m 27 days into the keto diet
and wanted to report my progress along with some thoughts. Good news! I’ve lost 20lbs. I know that might be too much but have been
eating plenty. My energy level is more constant. I didn’t realize I wasn’t sleeping enough but
that has changed also and is becoming better.
Some
things have happened in the last 4 weeks.
I decided at the end of week one if I didn’t have goals I was never
going to get there. That’s right, goal”S”. I’m tackling this thing on two fronts regarding
goals. I’m focused on my weight goal of but
also want to focus on my athletic performance.
I did a little math and realized it would probably take me 78 weeks to achieve
my goal weight and goal performance. I
developed the plan to rotate exercise types and diets along the way, to keep it
fresh but she’s written out and ready to be followed. Skip
to the bottom for my goals…
Tracking
is key! On the Keto diet, it is super
important to track everything that I eat.
This, along with the fact that my work started a walking challenge the
week after I started this journey it almost goes with our saying that I track
all parts of my life. At the end of week
3, I decided that I was running to many apps and consolidated everything down
to the Under Armor Health box. This
allows me to track my weight, body fat, sleep patterns, heart rate while exercising,
steps, length of walks and rides and it seamlessly meshes with my food tracking
app.
I sit
here the last day of week 4 of this journey excited about the future. It’s only 10am and today alone I’ve already
taken the dog on a 2.5 mile walk, eat an amazing breakfast with a great friend,
completed two blog post, and still have a full day ahead of me.
