Commitment

I've been kind of sucking at the blogging lately.  What can I say - I'm less creative without alcohol and with an early bedtime.  It's been 7 days since I've decided to prioritize sleep and put away the wine glass.  I do miss it.  I feel kind of flat.

Tomorrow is Day 30 of DDP yoga.  Tomorrow will also be Day 22 of my 90 workouts in 90 days.  I'm really glad I decided to do that.  There are a bunch of days that I wouldn't have done my yoga if I hadn't made this commitment.  Maybe even most days.  I don't love doing it yet - I'm still painfully aware of being out of shape and lacking in strength.  Those planks and crocodiles are crazy difficult for me.  I modify the plank and try/fail at the crocodile every time.  But anyway, I'm glad I'm doing this. I need to throw in some more challenging workouts here and there so I'm exposed to a greater variety of stretches and poses.

I've been experimenting in the last 7 days with a dietary approach that is unusual.  It's called Nutritional Ketosis, and involves following a high-fat, low carb, moderate protein diet.  I've also been counting calories.  I just have a really hard time losing weight and I've tried so many things.  This is slow going but it does seem to be working.  Official 30-day weigh in is tomorrow.  I do feel good following this way of eating.  No blood sugar highs or lows, I don't feel full and I don't feel hungry between meals.  It's hard to eat out, but I don't do that much anyway.  If this keeps working for me I'll outline my eating plan in greater detail.

I'm looking forward to taking pics tomorrow to see if there's any difference.  There may not be...I haven't lost a ton of weight yet.

No matter what, though, I'm sticking with it.
