Endurance!


#1

Non-scale victory … endurance! Almost 60 lbs ago, I could hardly hike up a quarter mile on a gentle slope without stopping to catch my breath. Last weekend, I hiked ALL day, somewhere between 6 and 8 miles in rough hilly terrain (no trails - I was hunting deer) and it was NO PROBLEM! And NO, I still have not been exercising. That’s bad, but the bottom line is that Keto plus the weight loss really made a huge difference in quality of life and physical endurance … now I feel motivated to get to the gym and start increasing my limits even further!

Keto curse - now have to spend extra $$ on gym membership.

No - wait - can that be offset by the savings from the meals skipped while fasting?

Phew - saved by the bell!

That is super wonderful. I am very happy for you. It sounds like you are full of energy and living very well!

A great success for you! Great post.

Nice feeling, isn’t it? I had a similar experience when I started, including the Deer hunting. It was really hard before Keto, then a 90 pound loss the first year made things much easier. When the next season came I had lost another 90 pounds, and felt so light on my feet it seemed I was running up and down the hills.

Not to mention since you have access to energy in your fat cells, then you get energy from there. You don’t crash until you’re physically tired.

Thanks, everybody! I needed an intervention … starting with weight loss. Really feels good to have made the progress that I’ve made and it’s very motivational … “stop feeling like a loser and start WINNING … by being a loser! (haha … of weight!)”. People wonder why I have been so diligent … well, the Keto progress is the motivator. I just cannot go back … life is much better now! My doc didn’t like it when he told me not to follow any fad diets … I said, “OK … the calories in/calories out low-calorie diet is OUT and the Keto diet is IN”. Oh well for him… not every doctor was an A-student. He says “I don’t know” too often anyway … gotta find a better doc. But I diverge … I appreciate all the support from you guys!
