Day 14
Down another 1lb from yesterday to 187.4, 10.6 lost in under two weeks. Waist still measures 36, BF% still at 19, or 7% down so far. Morning Acetone reading was 80. 5.4 miles walked, 69.1 miles so far. Workout was pretty strong and day 14 of yoga was complete. Pretty sure that's my longest run of daily yoga ever! Evening Acetone is up 3 to 83.
Broke the fast after 42 hours with the last bit of the leftover meat baby, some nuts and cheese. Supper was the super smoothie and we tried the new Halo Top low carb ice cream for a bit of desert. We tried the BirthDay Cake flavor which my daughter loved but I found too sweet, and the Mint Chocolate Chip which I really enjoyed.
Food Diary is here. Went over my carb limit of 25 by 6, but that's okay now and then. Think my stomach has shrunk, having a really hard time eating my limit of calories a day but I have plenty of fuel in the tank for all the exercising so I'm going to guess I'm fat adapted and am making up any shortfalls with my own internal fuel. That suits me just fine.

Day 13
Sorry for the late post, got caught up in 'Stranger Things' on Netflix and the evening got away from me. Allow me to recap.
Down 2.6 to 188.4 for a 9.6lb loss since the start. Waist stays at 36, which bumps BF% calc up about 1/2% but still under 19. Morning Acetone and evening readings steady at 80. Walked 5.1 miles, 63.7 so far, good workout and day 13 of yoga in the can. No food diary because, you know, fasting.
All for now.

Day 12
Up 1.4 to 191 or 7lbs total, this could be disheartening except waist measurement is down another .5 to 36, or 4 inches lost. BF% calculator says I'm under 19% now, down another % from yesterday or 7% so far... As I said before, grain of salt and all, but I'll take it! Morning Acetone down a point to 82. Walked 5.3 miles, for a running total of 58.6 miles. Day 12 of yoga and a strong workout also completed.
Food diary is here and the evening Acetone reading is 76.
Started the next fast at 6pm, aiming for a 3 day. We'll see.

Day 11
Down another .4 to 189.6 or 8.4lbs total. Down .5 inch to 36.5 or 3.5 inches total. BF% calculates to 20%, down 1 from yesterday or 6% so far. Morning Acetone was down a point to 81. Walked 5.4 miles (53.3 miles to date) and completed day 11 of yoga. Fasted from supper yesterday until supper today, Wife continues to support LC and we fixed a meat baby for supper. It was goooood. If you fix it I recommend half as much salt though.
Discovered and executed this forearm workout today, it was intense. I'll continue to implement on T/TH/SA moving forward.
Food diary is here and the evening Acetone reading is up two, to 83.
That's all for now!

Day 10
8am
Down another .4 lbs to 190, -8lbs so far. I appreciate it's mostly water/vacation weight, but it still looks impressive. I do expect from here on out for the big numbers to fall to the wayside and see instead smaller increments up/down with a downward trend towards my goals. That's fine, I believe in the plan and we'll see what happens.
Waist measurement in unchanged at 37, which causes the BF% calculator to show a higher number than yesterday but I'm still calling it 21%. Morning Acetone reading is down 2 points to 81.
I was super sore and stiff this morning, DOMS from doing Bulgarian squats mostly, so I ran through Diamond Dallas Page's 'Wake Up' routine to knock some of the rust off. It helped a lot.
5pm
Took a long walk with Wife and Dog and racked up 4.7 miles on the green-way trails this morning. Picked up another .5 mile on the treadmill when we got back for 5.2 miles for the day. 47.9 miles covered in 10 days, not too shabby. BodyWeight workout today wasn't great, maybe 80% of what it should be. Upping exercises to tougher ones and this being the first week of 6 workouts a week may have been a bit ambitious. We'll keep plugging next week.
Wife is jumping in the low carb bandwagon and we prepared a Keto White Pizza Frittata for supper, it was a big hit, and we have half of it left over for later.
Today's food diary can be found here.
7pm
Evening Acetone reading is up a point to 82.
Aaaand, I'm spent.

Walked 5.1 for 42.7 so far, completed a pretty strong workout as well as the 9th day of yoga. Evening Acetone is up a point to 83. I'm feeling good especially after a shower. Was 99 yesterday and 96 today, spent a lot of time marinating in my own juices.
Food Diary here. And, since no one's asked, my workout progress can be found here.
I went over my net carb goal today by about 5, but I can live with that.
Peace!
