    Food Log

    Fruity Cereal KC

    Pretzels + Puffs

    Atkins Crustless Pot Pie

    Beef + Veg

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: Ordered the batch again for my bulk meal prep. Decided to try Amazon Fresh this time as it’s possible a bit cheaper than my local grocery store for almost the same things. Today I felt very snacky though, so that was rough. I definitely was on the higher end of my calorie goal today.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Finished Ghost 19 on my walk today. It started to rain just as I was walking home and I met a neighborhood cat who wanted some attention.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): Earlier bike ride. Started Diavola.

    Water (100oz+): ✅

    10 Pages: Works Well with Others. The advice is fairly mediocre but he’s a good storyteller.

  • Day 19: DoorDash

    Food Log

    Choco Toffee Keto Chow

    Protein Puffs + Jerky

    Pesto Egg White Omelette + Bacon

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: Friday happened faster this week than I expected. The family decided to get DoorDash for dinner and I talked them into breakfast for dinner. So I ended up with an egg white omelette from IHOP with a side of bacon.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Went a little later and it was very quiet. Starting to get colder in the mornings and I’m going to need to start planning for a jacket.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): A late night bike ride that I cursed through the whole way.

  • Day 18

    Food Log

    Orange Cream Keto Chow

    Egg Salad Wrap

    Pretzels

    Beef + Veg

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: I’ve never made egg salad myself before and I might be addicted now. Just some mayo, mustard, paprika and on a low carb wrap. I could eat this regularly.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Got to the epilogue of Mister Magic right as I finished my workout. Almost considered walking a few more minutes but I needed to get ready for a meeting.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): I did not want to get on the bike today. Maybe it’s that I finished my audiobook and had to start another one. Ghost 19 is not gripping me yet, but it’s a novella so I’m going to power through it.

  • Day 17: New Snacks

    Food Log

    Salted Caramel Keto Chow

    Tacos

    Pretzels

    Beef + Veg

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: I got some new keto friendly snacks to try since I need to get some extra calories between lunch and dinner some days. I got some BeyondTwistz pretzels that are pretty good. A little dry, but that often happens with pea protein.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Rainy weather is coming. It didn’t rain on my walk, but it did overnight so some of the bridges were slippery. I need to look into getting a windbreaker, all my good coats are too warm to work out in.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): I’m almost done with my current audiobook (Mister Magic) so I really need to find a new one to listen to before my workout tomorrow. Trying to continue my horror vibe so I’m thinking of listening to Ghost 19 and then starting Diavola.

  • Day 16

    Food Log

    Choco PB Keto Chow

    Eggs

    White People Tacos

    Beef + Veg

    Last minute journal entry tonight so I’m a bit less wordy (and mostly just sleepy).

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: Had some left over ground beef so ate it twice today. I never know how to feel about the low carb tortillas, but I had a couple.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Lots of runners and dogs today.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): Late night exercise bike because I wanted to fit in some video games with friends.

  • Day 15: -4.4

    Food Log

    Birthday Cake Keto Chow

    Meat Stick + Crackers

    Beef + Veg

    We’re starting week three today and I lost over 4 pounds last week. Exercise and diet are stabilizing out which I think helped from the 0.2 the first week.

    Beyond that I feel so much better. My face isn’t puffy anymore and I’m not tired all the time. I wake up before my alarm consistently now and don’t try to snooze it.

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: Birthday cake keto chow is pretty meh. I’m still in love with the S’mallows. I wasn’t feeling very well yesterday so I had to do my batch cooking for the week today.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Later walk today because of morning meetings. It was almost too busy on the walk. Definitely like my early meetings so much better.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): Bike again, again. I’ve found a couple of strength training workouts I want to try, but I have to find the dumbbells that ended up somewhere in the garage after the move.

  • Day 14: Week 2 ✅

    Food Log

    Banana Bread Keto Chow

    Beef Sticks

    Quest Nacho Chips

    Beef + Veg + Cheese

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: Banana bread keto chow was solid. It didn’t taste exactly like banana bread, but I couldn’t place the taste. I made the mistake of eating some sugar free candy though and I’m paying for it. Sometimes sugar alcohols just hit my stomach hard.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): I need to start timing sections of my walk. I’m going to have to start going further without my dad or I’m going to complete the loop too quickly.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): Exercise bike. Went slower today because of the stomach ache. 🙃

  • Day 13: Going outside

    Food Log

    Atkins Bar

    Steak + Blue Cheese Salad

    Maple Waffle Keto Chow

    Tuna + Green Beans

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: Out to eat for the first time on the program, thankfully it was with family and they’re more than happy to accomodate my craziness. Ended up going to a place that had a salad with steak on it which was 👌. Eating my bigger meal near noon kinda threw me though. I like my hardiest meal right before I go into my fast and I couldn’t do that today.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Mellow walk today. Lots of people out to play disc golf. I’m going to need to start doing two loops soon though as I’m getting faster.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): So close to 8 miles on the bike. I’ll get to 10 yet.

    Water (100oz+): Water almost tripped me up today because we went out to eat and I really wanted a soda. Had to chug a bit toward the end of the night.

  • Day 12

    Food Log

    Choco Mint Keto Chow

    S’mallows

    Tuna + Almond Flour Crackers

    Beef + Veg + Hot Sauce

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: I’m sure if I thought to hard about it these S’mallows are probably not technically “food”, but they were sure satisfying to try today. Also tuna and hot sauce together is pretty tasty.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): I zoned out on my walk today and almost walked back to my old apartment which meant my walk was more like an hour plus today.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): Exercise bike again. Challenging myself to get farther earlier.

    Water (100oz+): ✅

    10 Pages: Need to start thinking about what my next book will be, only have about 20 pages left of Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything.

  • Day 11: Repetition

    Food Log

    Choco PB Keto Chow

    Atkins Frozen Scrambled Eggs + Sausage

    Beef + Veg + Cheese

    75 Hard Checklist

    Diet Followed: I got a few frozen dinners yesterday because most of my eating window still falls within work hours and I’m running out of ideas. The first time I did 75 Hard I always prepped a week of eggs and bacon and I didn’t do that this time around and I’m paying for it. Sunday prep this week will definitely include hard boiled eggs and bacon.

    Outdoor Workout (45+ min): Another day, another walk. I finished How to Sell a Haunted House, so I decided to start another spooky book Mister Magic.

    Indoor Workout (45+ min): If I can get over the initial 20 minute mark on the exercise bike I really don’t mind it but it’s still pretty mind numbing. The 100 degree heat didn’t offer much other choice today though. I did manage to break 6 miles with the resistance back up though.
