Day 46
I've been sloppy with my eating for the last few days and it shows this morning. 191.6 and 36" on the waist. Twelve weeks until Insight. Time to engage Monk Mode.
8am, 11hours fasted - completed DDP YRG Wake up routine, felt great. Acetone reading was 75 which was a surprise. Drank 16oz of black coffee, will switch over to tea if I feel like something else, been drinking too much coffee lately.
9am 12 hours in, walked the dog with wife, 1.8 miles. I'm pretty sick of summertime.
9pm 24 hours in, some waves of uncomfortable empty stomach but no big deal. Fasting continues.

Day 40 or Day 1 of Part II
So here we go again, this time with gusto! There are 90 days, 90 days remaining! Don't panic, there's time but we're going to have to use all of it. Weighed in at 189.4 today, 35.5 on the waist. My week off and travel and decadence and high living took a toll, but I'm back in the saddle now. Acetone reading was 80 this morning which seemed unusually high considering my diet over the last few days. Began another fasting period, restarted the 90 day yoga problem, completed a modified body-weight workout, walked the dog and got a 2 mile run in. Run was supposed to be 4 miles but I underestimated how hot and how barefoot I was today.
Second acetone reading was 59.

Day 32
189 this morning, same 35 on the waist. 1.6 miles walked with the dog and day 2 of the 90 day yoga challenge is done. Acetone level was 67 indicating low level of ketosis and I'll be focusing on getting that number up and keeping it elevated moving forward. Started the fast at 10am after breakfast with our visitors, I'm thinking this is going to be a multiday fast as I'm feeling like I've been a lot more slack over the last two weeks than I'm comfortable with. Countdown clock says I've got 14 weeks left to get done whatever I can for this challenge. Overall I'm pleased with how things are going, just want to make sure I'm minding my diligence and not letting my eyes slide off the goal. I've been guilty of fading away in the past which is why I picked this particular time and approach - just need to stay focused on working the plan day after day.

Day 31
Started Lesley Fightmaster's 90 day Fix yoga, it was pretty heavy duty. Only got the dog walk in today, had visitors and spending time with them was more important.
Day 30
3 mile barefoot run today that I really enjoyed. Temperature was nice and it just felt good to run. 187 today, 35 in waist. Good body weight workout today and completed Fightmaster's 30 day beginner challenge. Tomorrow we start the 90 day deal.

Day 29
Doing well with all the fitness initiatives, getting stronger, etc, weight keeps bouncing around between 184 and 187 and waist is holding steady at 35. Have covered 146 miles since we started, ran about 10 of those. It's been cooler this week. I'll post again when something interesting happens.
