Slippery slope

Oftentimes this phrase is used to indicate a negative thing but I am thinking positively about dieting and exercise. Roughly a year and a half ago I stopped strict keto for a few reasons, one of those being my fatigue levels in my workouts were high. Fast forward to now, I am hitting a groove […]

Revisiting intermittent fasting

What a goofy ass title, it was cumbersome to type but why change it? Is it not accurate? Am I not quaint? I digress… AS the title suggests, I am back on intermittent fasting, this is in addition to my post about keto here Well do you want pros and cons? Pros: awesome at shedding […]

Back to keto, with some tweaks

I don’t care how much muscle I put on due to adding carbs to my diet but I am tired of not losing weight. So a couple weeks ago I went back to keto eating and I have since dropped SEVEN POUNDS of (i’m assuming water) weight. Now the cons… My workouts are EXHAUSTING and […]

What now?

This may come as a shock considering my lengthy history with keto, but I have switched to macro tracking and using a fitness app to better my strength training. Yes, i’ve heard the yells, “How dare he!?” I’ve heard the laments of the keto community, “He has abandoned us!” I benefit from having strong counsel […]

My 2022 fitness summary

Much like Sp0tify Wr@pped (no free promo here bitches!) where it summarizes your music at year’s end, I dug into my 2022 fitness stats. I found a lot to celebrate: 86+ gym workouts, monthly averages of 1100+ calories burned, good sustainable heart rate numbers, etc. So it got me thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if […]

Binge eating my feelings away

Yikes y’all, I’ve been struggling with binge eating and it’s hard to admit, but I hope that others can relate to this as well! Emotionally it’s been a combo of burnout/sad/happy/sexually frustrated/numb for the past month. Basically all of August was a whirlwind of emotions and although I’ve been having incredible workouts (which i’ll write […]

Maintenance time?

So i’m kind of in maintenance mode, I’ve hit my first goal weight, and I feel good. I’m currently under 300 pounds and sitting pretty at around 295ish and I’m enjoying adding some carbs and treats. I’ve been eating too many treats lol, it’s been fun though but my tummy hurts too often to keep […]

Creatine usage, keto gains update, etc

I stopped taking creatine, my reasoning was that I felt it was hindering my weight loss and the positive effects weren’t enough to outweigh that (yes this is a joke). There are other factors and i’ll definitely use up the powder at some point, it’ll just likely be revisited during a bulk. I use the […]

Listening to my body is good!

I’m glad I don’t have to manage many injuries and the ones that I do have are minimal. Anyway, 3 weeks ago I strained my groin/hamstring area, last week I strained my shoulder, but I was able to rehab those issues and work past them! A quick healing routine includes lowering weights on my sets […]
