For some reason, which remains a mystery to me, I dropped out of ketosis this morning. My blood ketones were only at 0.6; that's the first time in over a month they've dropped below 1.0, my personal cutoff mark. I ate very little in the way of carbs yesterday; I ate rather more than I should have on Monday, while still heavily drugged, but I was well in the ketosis range as of Tuesday morning. I can't let it get me too down; fasting to force myself back into deep ketosis is tempting, but unwise.
Saturday marked the last time I did my morning stretches and strength training. I decided to do as many situps at once as possible, then do more as I was able until I reached 50. Once I could do all 50 nonstop, I'd proceed to higher totals numbers. I barely managed 30. But today, after several days off, I made it to 40 without too much struggle. So that's encouraging. I'll see what tomorrow brings.
I bought some pipe insulation today, and a strong bungee cord with clips on both ends. I padded my ALICE backpack frame, and fiddled around trying to use the bungee cord to lash my bike to the frame. I think I've got something a little more workable, but I doubt it's the final iteration. It would be nice to have two or three clips, hooks, or other attachment points that I can quickly and easily tie the bike and frame together with, along with one "final" point that I can cinch down to lock the bike in place. More experimentation is needed.
