Great class today. Still training in the same academy in Southern California, Babalu’s Iron Gym. We went over a double leg guard pass series today.
1. Start in partners closed guard with posture broken and his hands holding the back of my head down.
2. Place both hands on his abdomen, open my left knee out, turn my head to the left to get some breathing room, and then push with both hands, and at same time try to retract head back and up, in order to release head.… Read More

Happy with my ketone levels and blood sugars. Curious to see what my HbA1c will be with these sub 90 sugars. I read somewhere that optimally blood sugars should be in the 80 range. I’ll try to find that source again.
Had a Cold Stone creamery ice cream today, the smallest size, because we were celebrating some good news, and I wasn’t sure what effect that would have to my ketones. … Read More

Was tired all day. Slept later than intended last nite because we were out with some friends, and for no reason in particular, my body woke me up at my normal time. Hence the short amount of sleep. Felt sleepy the entire day and took a few small naps.

Good ketone levels. I was a little worried because we ate out today at Din Tai Fung… a chinese food place famous for its juicy pork dumplings. … Read More
Tried out a new gym today. I always get a little nervous going to a new gym, despite the fact that I’ve been to quite a few now and the warmups always fall into either of two categories
1. Old school – including running around the mats, switching to side to side skipping, jumping, running backwards etc.
2. Gracie Barra – perform a series of squats, pushups, and jumping jacks, followed by some ab work.
I personally prefer the old school method because I feel like it does a better job of warming up my body.… Read More

Don’t have a scale where I am, so it may be a while before I can weight myself again. Was a little relieved this morning to see that I was still in ketosis.
I think it’s important to remember that the numbers can be unreliable if measured too close to eating.
My plan is to maintain nutritional ketosis for at least 30 days and document the changes that occur. … Read More

Today was a travel day. Woke up earlier than we normally do to run some errands, tidy up the house, and then rush out to the airport.
Weight still within normal variation. A little disappointed with the PM ketones. We were at the airport and I had some BBQ ribs and beef. I’m guessing they were generous with the amount of sugar they placed in the BBQ. … Read More
