Start to Keto and Baby D!

Baby D is on the way today! This will be a very good test this week on how I can keep up the pace for the keto diet. I've been in ketosis for roughly 1.5 weeks with a moderate level of ketones. My diet has consisted of salad (full fat dressing, bacon, eggs, olive oil), bullet coffee, eggs and bacon for breakfast with more salad, and wings. Drinking tons of water, and snuck in 4 beers over the weekend for a net of 10g of empty carbs. I can say I feel so much better and I've been trying to get some steps in which helps.

Feeling much better is baby steps. I've lost a couple of pounds as well. I'm down to 157 pounds from 159.9 pounds. Baby steps...

I plan to track and post my ketone level in the future.

Where did the time go? (Again)

So, again where did the time go? I bought a fitbit only to be even more lazy before I had the thing. It's like wearing a fitbit will make me lose some weight if I just look at it (would ya' just look at it?).

This weekend I bought something else that will probably not get used. It's the fit 2 fat 2 fit, keto jump start program. I want it mostly to just have a good reference for keto friendly foods. As of today, when I woke up I decided to start down the keto path and monitor what I am eating. All while, my wife is 40 weeks pregnant. I have no clue who I will be able to manage a newborn, and exercise. I plan to track my process, take notes, and hopefully things turn out. But I know it won't be easy now that I am starting a family. At least if I continue to wear my fitbit, I'll lose weight. Right?

Where did the time go?

Fast forward, it's 2018 and I'm heavier than I was back in 2014. Mike and I plan to push each other and I have an added motivating factor. I am going to be a dad in a few weeks!

The plan is to go through the P90X program as I had some success with that in the past. I imaging having a kid will put a crunch on time and my ability to eat healthy. I'm guessing meal prep might become something I have to learn really quick. Traveling for work is also a factor in my diet. Learning to eat healthy on the road will be super important.

Short term goals to achieve by the end of June

• Lose 10-15 lbs (Starting weight is 258)
• Run 1 mile without stopping 
• Consistent approach to eating habits
• Blog each day/week about what I've done to keep progressing 

Stay tuned...
