Ride postponed

 So life happened, and I didn't go on my planned long ride today. But I will tomorrow, and in the process pick up a surplus ALICE pack. I'm confident I can modify it rather easily into a carrier for my folding bike. If so, I may be able to make a waterproof wrap for it to tow behind myself in a triathlon swim.

I'm cooking a bit more now. Today was a simple fish chowder; salmon, evaporated milk, a very small can of corn, dried onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The entire thing came to about 1100 calories, but I didn't eat it all. I probably consumed around 1500 calories total today, including a shake. My big shipment of keto chow came today; I'm interested to try the chocolate toffee flavor with coconut oil. I weighed in under 193 pounds this morning. I may hit my intermediate goal of 190 by the end of the week, almost certainly by the end of next week. The end of next places me at four weeks of keto, with plenty of food to continue for a couple more weeks if I like. 185, and its associated BMI of 24, is in sight.

When I achieve 180-185, how should I maintain it? Stay keto all the time? No. Keto on again, off again? Keto, or some other diet, whenever I drift towards the upper end of the range? Intermittent fasting?

Well, anyway, I'm dropping weight. And my average resting heart rate is going below 60.
