Food:
Coffee with coffeemate
3 eggs
small portion of flank steak
avocado
Two hot links with cream cheese, mustard, and ketchup

Notes:
Ketosis level was down to 15 today. Maybe all the veggies yesterday? 

I may have screwed up on the ketchup. I forgot that it's 4 gm of sugar per tablespoon. I should check the mustard as well since the one I use has a sweetness to it.

Walked straight up Queen Anne ave. N. to the top of the hill and got my groceries and walked back down. The intense part of this was to Smith St., after which the slope gets easier.

Workout

3 hill climbs (walks) at roughly 7 minutes of activity.

7.21.2016: Starting Over + Day 1 of 100

No weight measurement

Day 1 of 100

I don't know what my weight is. I'm afraid to look but I'm guessing I must be over 280 right now, which is terrible, but not unexpected considering my poor eating habits, general level of lethargy and overall lack of interest in the world.

I did finally take an action though, which is to start working out again. Very painful to say the least.

Starting today as day 1, my goal for the next 100 days is to simply do something moderately strenuous every day, systematically increase my work capacity, and get back to eating clean. So, even if I eat poorly, I need to document it. Also, I have to journal every day. That's always been one of the keys for me. I'll consider weighing myself in about a month.

Workout:

1000m Row (5:15)

Back Squats

3 x 5 at 95

I had to stop squatting because I felt my left quadricep begin to spasm. At my age, I can't push this too fast.

Food:

Coffee

Tuna Salad Sandwich

More tuna salad

Salami and Cheese sandwich
Cashews
Macadamia Nuts
Two Oranges
