Howdy Steemit
Thank you for popping in to check on my day #2 fitness journey log. Today has been a bit of a tough one as I have been battling through the dreaded “Keto Flu!”. Haha, for those who don’t know its really just carb withdrawals. I endured the torture at work as everyone was trying to pawn off the rest of their holiday baked good. I was a good boy though.
I woke up feeling pretty sore from the workout from the day before. Though that is pretty normal. I did some light stretching but was running late so I had to zip out the door. I was doing pretty good until about 10 am and that is when the cravings and fatigue set in. I find I am usually like this for a solid three to four days but I do bounce back fairly quick. With all that said though I weighed in at 229.3 pounds, so the scale is moving. Its all water weight most likely but hey ill take it!
Well here is the break down for the day:
Food for The Day
I kept it pretty much the same. We prepped a bunch of this Mississippi pot roast, which is amazing on the keto diet and just all round delicious. I have been struggling to hit my calories as I haven’t really been hungry. Its as if my body is rejecting all food right now. It’s a strange thing. But here is a screen cap of what I ate.
My Workout for the Day
I was feeling pretty sore today so I just did 40 minutes on the bike and ended everything with some yoga stretching. I decided this week I am not going to be so strict with everything but just make sure I do something. I think tomorrow though I will be hitting the heavy bag to get back into the flow of things. I really want to test myself and see just where my cardio is and I find the heavy bag is a great way to put that to the test.
I did manage to sneak a bit of a walk in on my lunch break. Again, here and there I do try and sneak a fit of activity in. I find it's not the easiest but here are some stats on the walk:
The walk was nothing major but something to get the heart rate up. Below though is the workout. I did manage to get a good sweat going, nothing major. Tomorrow though I am going to put myself through the gauntlet and really push myself. Well anyways here is the stats for my workout:
Sleep Stats
Here is something else I thought I would include because rest is very important not just for weight loss but just all-around health in general. I had a horrible sleep last night as I was up thinking about how to deal with my video setup. Haha, I know its silly but I have really been enjoying doing my vlogs and want to really improve my set up. Anyways, here is my sleep stats for the night.
Well, that about wraps it up. Thank you as always for popping in and taking the time out of your day to check everything out. I really appreciate all the support I am getting.
