Down to 35

 And that many situps in a row was a struggle. Oh, well. I still did my 50, for everything, and went to work for a VERY full day. My blood ketones were at 0.6 again this morning; frustrating, but at least it's still reasonably above non-keto levels. FedEx managed to screw up again; they claim to have delivered a package to me, when they've done nothing of the sort. It's frustrating. But anyway, I should begin my formal triathlon training program next week, or the week after at the very latest. If the week after, next week will mostly be long treks carrying the bike, and a swim or two to get more used to the beach and the associated routine.

I've got just over a week left on keto. I'm looking forward to a baked potato. Rye toast with butter. A good truffle. That sort of thing. But the benefits are clear and undeniable. I've been solidly below 190 for over a week, and I think there is a path here to maintaining and even improving that. Perhaps a sort of stepped approach. I could imagine setting 180 as a baseline for myself, and 190 as a hard limit, with more significant steps taken the closer I get to that limit. For example, if I went over 182 or 183, I could simply take note and be more careful, or add in a workout. At 185, I could start intermittent fasting. At 187, add in a whole fast day. That sort of thing. But the first thing is to see where I'm at in a week, and how well I can maintain or improve that once off keto.
