The test strip this morning shows keystones are up somewhere between 1.5 and 4 mmol/L. Hopefully I’m burning off the fat! Another early 5am start although the meditation wasn’t particularly satisfying. Simply too much mental chatter after yesterday’s revelations to allow me to produce the mental blank slate required to get anywhere.

Checked my weight log from the scales and I was around 107.7kg with 31.8% body fat when I started. Today’s weigh-in had me at 106.1kg and 30.8% body fat. I’m not going to read anything into that other than hope it’s the start of a downwards trend. My target weight when I first got a Fitbit way back in December 2018 was 90kg. I hit 100kg just before this Xmas but the regular feasting and drinking took it’s toll. No more of that though!

So we’re heading into the weekend. Family time. This is where it gets difficult. I may relax the 18:6 fasting a little so I can eat meals with the rest of the gang. I’ll be springing some keto surprises on them and hopefully with a bit of discipline will be head first into a monk fast come Monday. Bring on the autophagy!
