so, not trying to be a huge dick or anything, but i was out on the town with my 5 y.o. this morning. and he was being relatively good (for a 5 y.o.).
and he asks "daddy, can we go to the donut store?"
as i pondered for a minute, i said sure, why not.

well, after my 2nd apple fritter, i think i may have died and gone to heaven (or haven, i don't know what the kids are calling it now).
point being: enjoy the little things once in awhile. don't over-indulge. and treat yourself to something special, every once in awhile.


p.s. did i mention that they were the best apple fritters ever?

First 5k done and in the books! My goal was to finish in under 32 minutes. Crossed the finish line at 29:50, no walking, didn't even think about it for a second. Every mile was faster than the previous one.

Then I went over to the Heartland Harvest Garden and tried some of the hot peppers; whoa. I tried the Chinese Ornamentals, Black Pearls, Black Hungarians, but I stopped short of the Thai Dragons, Habaneros and Ghost Chilis.

Right on! I was fat when I did mine, and finished in just under or over (I can't remember) 38 minutes. I was okay with that. Felt pretty damn good crossing that line in under 30 didn't it? Congrats!

So, I discovered today that I have full access to all the amenities to our resorts here in town. I went and got on the elliptical for the first time in over a year and banged out a solid assed half hour on that mofo. Didn't burn any extra calories than I do from walking, which is reeruned, but the fitness is increasing so I can burn more later. :fire:

I'm pretty excited. Take a nice 2.5 mile walk in the morning, then go bang out a half an hour or more on the elliptical after work, and some interval running on the treadmill afterward. I WILL BE A BEAST AGAIN!

P.S - Where the **** all my fatties at? Check in, mutha****as!

Oh, btw, holy hell! I feel schizophrenic. Complete turnaround today. I feel absolutely ****ing great! It's amazing. I woke up and was groggy for about 10 minutes, but I've been bouncing around all day and feeling like a million bucks. I absolutely loathe working out in the afternoon, but I loved it today. I've read about it, heard about it from you guys, but it's really incredible how much it changed almost over night. I haven't had this kind of energy in years. Maybe ever. Life's good. And I'm going to peel off some serious weight if this continues. How long did this last for you guys before you leveled out? I'm hoping 3 months, lol.

I don't want to post in this thing all by myself. I ordered pizza last night and got shit faced. Ate the toppings off the crust. Didn't eat after I got drunk, and was still under 2000 calories for the day after downing 10 oz. of Jim Beam. Felt pretty good considering it was a full on cheat day.

This is really a great diet. I just don't miss potatoes, and pasta like I thought I would. Been thinking about pizza for a few days and was completely good with eating the toppings and a little sauce with it. No clue what I weigh, don't care. Clothes fitting better, and I'm putting on clothes I had outgrown just a little over 2 weeks after starting up. I know it's going well. I may jump on a scale today just to make sure I'm on point. I dunno. It really hasn't mattered to me yet. I've got a long assed ways to go...

Anyway, I'll throw a post in every once in a while, but I'm not going to make this a blog like I did the last time. I'll just start a blog if I want to do that.

I fit in to a pair of size 36 Jeans and Cargo shorts last night.

I honestly can't remember the last time that has happened.

:clap: Nice! It's an amazing feeling isn't it? I remember when I got into a pair of 40's. First time since I was in the 9th grade. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the 30's. That's going to be when I know I've made it.

I will also say that while I haven't quit drinking, I have slowed way the **** down. 1 night a week only. I've also started exercising a little more consistently. Got back on the elliptical machine and couldn't go more than 2 miles on it. Yesterday I banged out a 5k on the thing and felt like a rockstar!

Yo Flop, I keep seeing you talk about 3 months. Don't put a hard or soft cap on your timeframe or goal weight. I did that and then realized that the time and weight I had set for myself weren't what I actually wanted to do. Just roll with it until you're ready to finish. Personally, I think you should be on Keto for longer than 3 months, but its obviously up to you.

Originally I set my goals at 6 months / 220 lbs and I realized that 220 was still pretty overweight. Also, I like Keto too much to change diets.

Anyways I hope that makes sense.

I thought I saw you at Wal Mart last night.

:LOL:

Yeah, my wife is wanting to do it longer than 3 months. And honestly, I see myself doing this indefinitely as of now. I like it. I don't miss the foods I used too think I would, and after ordering a pizza last night and being completely happy with peeling the cheese and toppings off of it, there is no reason to change. I love how I feel right now. How long does the extreme high after the carb flu last? I have no clue, but I hope it's forever. LOL

BTW, myfitnesspal has my intake pegged at 60/35/5 and I'm not even trying. It's just natural, which is ****ing awesome!

This link is rather good for fatties.

How's Keto treating ya Flop? My Facebook is broken. I can't go on Flopnuts Fatties for some reason.

I've been on a self imposed no weight/size loss the last 2 weeks because I want to fit in the tux I got fitted for 2 weeks ago. The wedding is this Sunday. I'm having trouble with it though. I'm still eating keto, but after putting on a good 5 lbs in the first week, I'm back down to where I was. Glad I only have to maintain for another week. Shit is nearly impossible on Keto.
