Thank you all for your encouragement gentleman. The Keto diet continues to go well, still staying under 20g of carbohydrate a day, often well under. I am approaching 20 pounds of loss. The strength training (weight lifting) continues to go well, but it is difficult to get through all of my sets during the work week and still get to work on time. I am cycling on non weight training days for about an hour. With the hills around here, that is a difficult hour, at least now. I tried going on trails, but the mosquitos here are very bad due to an unusually wet summer. On the hill climbs I am going so slow that they are eating me up. I may have to wait for a little bit of crisp autumn weather to head to the woods. I did get my road bike out, dusted it off and lubed everything up, but I have yet to take it to the road. Waiting to build some more stamina on the heavier and lunkyer mountain bike due to my heavier, lunkyer framed body.
There just is no getting around the laws of thermodynamics Chris, no matter the diet. The one very significant thing that I find with the keto diet is that if I keep the carb count to under 15 grams (often well under), and I snack on allowed foods such as cheese and my meals consist of lots of leafy veggies with 2 tablespoons of olive oil with a favorite protein, I find that I am very satisfied with eating a lot less calories, and I have a lot more energy and motivation to do stuff, hence burning more calories.
I have a very small amount of Beta 1.0 in Lavender and Lemongrass I think, so after I read your journals I might try to find it and dig it out for tomorrow. A while back I may have consumed everything though because I was running out of the home made stuff.
Since I made the Beta 1.2.1, and after letting sit for over a week whilst on the road, every shave has been done using it. I have to say the Lavender, Orange-Spice scent is really quite pleasant to my palette. Yesterday's shave was with the Ghost Jade 7/8" BRW after a long weekend of not shaving, and the result was nirvana. This Am the 6/8" BRW got the call, and the result is just as satisfying.
On to the Journals to try to get caught up!
