I've never enjoyed salads of any kind except for when I am in Keto. I only ate salads because I thought I had to. When in Keto, I love them. All of them. Can't get enough of them. I eat salads twice a day most days. When I was 300 lbs... I would never have believed that could ever be true. My whole diet is just a protein…

Strip Loin. Buy the whole side, leave in fridge for 3 weeks, then cut into steaks. Filet mignon and then rib eye. Nothing better.

"A Magic Pill" is a great film. I'll rewatch every time I need a motivation refresh!

For me... being fat adapted means that I don't think about food all the time.

Good luck. I've don't Keto before. This will be my 3rd time losing 100+ lbs. Doc says it is hard on my body to do Keto, but it is better than carrying 100lbs extra around. This time, when I am down close to my goal weight, I am going to see someone about how to keep it off. I lose weight really well. That is a not a…

Go swim! I've been back on keto for almost a month now. Don't seem to need as much sleep even though I have returned to the gym. My workouts are not impressive, but I can already feel the change in how my body is reacting. My goal is to go to the gym every day, regardless of how I feel, even if I think I will work out for…

Day 13 of keto reboot. Down 9.1lbs so for this time. Previous runs I've lost 100 and 90 lbs respectively. Going for 80 this time. Target completion by Jan 2020. I can already feel the difference. It is hard to get on it... but once on, it feels great.

I signed up. Need to get back. Loved it before. I'm particularly partial to Team 1. I always like to be #1 Vowder

Feels so weird not to stress about a challenge....

Nice job team! Well done again! Proud to be part of it... even though my minutes progressively deteriorated. Thanks for picking up the slack! Ankle getting much better. Gentle long walk... it survived. I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks @hawkins410 and everyone else!

Oh yeah... forgot to mention. Destroyed my computer on Friday. This is a new one. LOL. Got to set a new one up yesterday! Uggg....

Sorry for the absence. Been on a client site and then my son got sick at an 'away' swim meet. Went to meet him. Haven't been home yet. Just showed back up at the client site again. Will make it home on Wednesday or so.

WOW! Thanks.... feel like I just arrived. Been behind all week!

Challenge #2 Week 4: Foot massage Pushed my ankle pretty hard on challenge No. 1 Now... I have 56 messages to read.

Challenge #1 Week 6; Iditarod 5km Outside. Walked the river valley near my son's swim meet.

On short notice, I ended up in Edmonton AB. Am planning a long outdoor walk for Challenge 1. Have to look up which one. I think my ankle is good enough. Still working on plan B. Probably one of the stretching videos. My son is at a swim meet this weekend and I have been able to attend at the last minute. Bar looks good.

Challenge #3 Cucumber, Lettuce, Bell Pepper, Spinach, Broccoli, Guacamole ( I'm an over achiever! LOL) Just took everything green on the awesome salad bar today. I even had some chicken with pesto sauce.

I'm still here and 70 messages behind. Saw it was Ireland and got an anxiety attack. Thought I was in for some more Irish dancing. LOL Looking forward to making it to Ireland. Didn't realize there were so many sexy leprechauns. Now I am ready to go! I've been at a leadership conference in Banff Alberta. Great location! Ok…

Puppies...tuckered out after playing outside in the freezing cold. 1 puppy getting a bath before its adopted parents come to pick her up. This is almost it. 2 left. 1 leaving in an hour or so.

Feels great to be in Jamaica! Last night was so cold out. It was -28 with a very brisk wind. It was the first time, since we started a few years ago, that my wife and I did not complete our evening walk. We turned around just after halfway. Going to the gym this afternoon and then planning the videos for Saturday. Five of…

"CHALLENGE #3" Scotch Bonnet Peppers Thyme Nutmeg Chose the peppers because I haven't cooked with them before and I found them in the store. My experience... the peppers are freaking hot. I only used 1/2 of 1 pepper and the marinade/sauce was fully flavored. Would have added 1 full one if it was just me. The lady in the…

Went to a client this afternoon. I was early. Across the street from their office was a latin grocery store. As it turned out, it also had Jamaican food. I bought a couple of the scotch bonnet peppers for 30 cents. So, instead of "ginger beef" I made Jamaican Jerk Chicken.

Looks like a good start to the week! Planning on using Ginger. Going to make a low-carb ginger beef for supper this week.

Love this week! From COLD to HOT. Good exercises. Good location. Good fun. Went to the DR. today. Guess what. A real surprise. Don't strain it further, do some exercises/stretches until it heals. Definitely a tendon issue. Good thing I can still master the exercises here (with just a little accommodation). First puppies go…

Challenge #3 Left behind Starch this week. Normally when I go low carb it is really easy. I still have commitment trouble. Completed the challenge but have to redo and take out extra sugar as well. Slowly getting back to normal with the exception of the ankle. Have Dr. appointment tomorrow morning. Will get #2 done today.…

The weekly puppy update: This is the last weekend for a couple of the puppies. Just getting some attention from a couple of girls visiting us this weekend.

Last night we had Northern Lights here. Not nearly as good as up North, but we had them none-the-less. Looks like I'll be ordering a few drinks tonight. She does look comfortable in her boots. I wonder if her boots are real? I noticed that a bunch of folks behind her are checking out her belt. Feels good to make it to…
