Day 25
Weight is up, no surprise, to 187.6.  Waist stays at 35 inches.  Morning acetone reading was down to 62.  I expect it will be up in the evening.  Walked 5.7 miles and completed day 25 of yoga.

Day 24
Work casualty at 6am on a Saturday morning and then took Daughter to try driving.  Pretty sure I used up a month's worth of adrenaline today.  Only walked 1.8miles, day 24 of yoga, but didn't do a great job with eating.  Fasting tomorrow, will get back on track after this trainwreck of a week.

Day 23
183.2 and 35 inch waist, walked 6.1 miles, day 23 of yoga.

Day 22
Ugh.  Another crazy, busy, HOT day.  Got 4.7 miles walked but by the time I got a chance to workout and do yoga I didn't have any juice left in the tank.  Day 22 of yoga was lackluster at best, may try today's body weight workout again tomorrow, we'll see.

Day 21

Waist maintained at 35, weight was down to 184.2.  As expected supper yesterday knocked me out of high ketosis as indicated by a acetone reading of 49.  Ran two miles and walked another 5.2, had a decent workout and completed day 21 of yoga.  Evening acetone is back up to to 77.  Food log is here.  That's all for now.

Day 20

Fasted most of this crazy busy day and then blew it with too many carbs at supper.  Ah well.  Waist was down to 35 and weight down to 185.8.  Acetone levels were  79 and 80 for the morning and evening, only got 3.2 miles walked and day 20 of yoga was lackluster.  Will hit it harder tomorrow.

Day 19

Up again to 186.6, weekend with visitors has me off schedule a little.  Ran for the first time in a while, 2.5 miles and 2.7 walked. 95.5 so far.  Day 19 of yoga is done.  Morning and evening acetone levels were 69 and 70 respectively.  Yesterday I put together a schedule to get to half marathon distances before the all hands company event in Nov.  What I put together is based on Jeff Galloway's plan found here.  Schedule is to hit it at 6am, seems to be the coolest time of the day.

Today's food diary is here.

Day 18
This morning was a bit of a disappointment initially.  Acetone level was down to 62.  Waist stayed the same but my weight was up .8 of a pound to 185.8, not really what I was expecting or was hoping for.  All things considered though, that's less than the weight of 16oz of water so I'm not going to get crazy about it.  Also, I took the opportunity to review some of the BF% calculations and, although probably not super accurate, I really like the trends.

I started this 18 days ago at 198lbs, 40 inch waist, body fat of 26%, a fat mass of 51.3lbs and a lean mass of 146.7lbs.
Today I sit at 185.8lbs 35.5 inch waist, body fat of 18%, with a fat mass of 33.7 and a lean mass of 152.1.

So, while my weight went up this morning I need to remember that I'm getting much stronger than I was, I'm getting much more flexible, capable, and my ability to balance is better. And while I've lost 12.2 of over all weight, I've actually lost 17.6 pounds of fat and added 5.4 pounds of muscle.  I've annihilated 4.5 inches off my waist and lowered my BF% down 8%.  At least if I choose to believe my indications, and I do!

The plan works if you work the plan.

5.7 miles walked today taking the total to 90.3.  Day 18 of yoga is done.

Day 17
Same measurements as yesterday.  Walked 5 miles with dog, up to 84.6 miles.  Mowed the grass too.  Morning acetone was 68, suggesting the chinese food for supper was higher in carbs than expected.  Evening reading was back up to 86.  Day 17 yoga was completed.  Food diary here.

Day 16
Down 1lb to 185, waist down to 35.5 from 36.  BF% doesn't change a whole lot.  Still under 19%. Day 16 of yoga is done.  Felt a little off today, maybe because it's so dang hot.  Right bicep is feeling weird when I went to do pull ups.  I've been down this road before so I'm taking a two day break for some extra rest.  We'll see if getting back to 6 workouts a week is a good idea as we go, I appreciate I'm 46, not 26 anymore.  Walked 5.4 miles, up to 79.6.  Morning and evening acetone readings were 82 and 87.  Food diary here.

Day 15
Down 1.4 to 186, waist stay the same today and BF% doesn't change much either. Acetone morning and evening were 83 and 87.  Upped all the progressions on the bodyweight exercises for today's workout and was subsequently humbled.  That's okay, it's good to find areas of improvement.  Day 15 yoga is done, walked 5.1 today for 74.2 miles so far.  Food diary here.
