I gained 1.2 pounds despite eating well and lots of exercise yesterday

Wed April 30, 191.9 lb SFunny to be a patient – I had to look at the instructions about how to give a shot!

192.9 pounds

It’s been a long time. I weighed as much as 205 a while back. While in Oaxaca, I had a pretty severe respiratory illness that eliminated my appetite and energy level – I lost at least 5 pounds, maybe 10. In any case, I was as low as 188 recently. Now, though, I’m back up… Continue reading April 27, 2025: Tirzepatide

We spent a few days in the Olympic Peninsula, staying at an RV in the Whiskey Creek Beach RV Park and Campground (https://www.whiskeycreekbeachnw.com/). We liked it, but there were cabins there that were probably nicer. Next time we will probably choose one of these, although they run entirely on propane, no electricity: Later we did… Continue reading July 18

After several days without weight change, my weight suddenly fell from the 181 range to about 178.8. Very pleased with this. I’m being very good about carbs and timing of eating, and exercise too. 178.1 is my lowest over the past year, so could beat that, and 175 seems very possible! Also, noticed something else… Continue reading June 18

Today, we each blew just a 3 and that surprised us. So I checked serum values and ketones were 0.4 and BS 108. This does show that the Keyto device is working, but it’s hard to explain the dramatic drop in ketosis. We did each have one ear of corn, one square of chocolate, and… Continue reading 5/31 Not as ketotic

I blew a 5 and Seong a 7 (woohoo!) today, and I’m at 183.2, a little lower. And fastest run yet: Seong tested ketones (1.6) and glucose (75), after 14 hr fast except coffee with cream. Mine, 86 and 1.7

Day before yesterday we did our first trail run in a long time. It was just under 5 miles, over on the trails in the Chuckanut Mountain area. It was pretty hard, but we did OK. Yesterday, we rode to Samish Lake, so today we are ready for trail running again. We took a slightly… Continue reading 5/29 – Trail running

For two days earlier this week we tried 18/6 TRF, elimination of all alcohol, and decaf coffee only. I found that waiting until 1pm was a bit long for a first meal (Seong didn’t mind that much though), and the next one came too soon to be practical. We were spending quite a lot of… Continue reading 5/25: Time Restricted Feeding
