Hi all!!
I don’t post here much, but lurk pretty much every day to stay up to date. Anyways yesterday was a great day for me. First, my wife (who decided we were going keto in the first place back in Oct) signed us up for a 5k, which we ran yesterday. I used to run and workout a bunch before breaking my knee in June '15, and was told by my doc that running would never happen again. Lack of exercise helped me go from ~240 up to 275, which is when we started low-carb, and eventually going full keto. Now I’m down to about 235, and a month or two back we started running 1/2 mile up to 2 miles this past week, but only running 1-2 times a week. Yesterday at the 5k we both ran the full distance without any walks, PLUS our pace was over a full minute under the fastest 2 miles we’ve run since resuming running. We were both so happy!
The other NSV was that my wife decided I needed new jeans since my current ones had become “homeboy pants.” Went to the store and got two pairs of 34’s, down from the 38’s that were too tight when I began keto.After shopping I pulled out my old shorts which have been in a bin waiting for me to fit in them again, and most of them fit! Some have gone out of style since 2010 when I last could wear them, but I still have some winners.
All in all it was a good day.
