7 years?!?

Has it really been 7+ years since I posted on this blog....wow, to say that I didn't stick to my healthy lifestyle would be true.  I've continued exercising, running races, and calorie counting...sometimes.

Going to grad school (2013-2015), having a daughter (2015-present) has not helped my commitment to fitness.  But as of today 4/30/2018, I completed my 11th half marathon and I'm starting on the Ketogenic diet. 

The diet is why I wanted to post again, to have an accurate tracking of how I feel and how this has worked.  We failed on the food prep for the week thanks to the half marathon, but still got our first day of keto foods packed for work. 

Eggs, Cheese, olives, Avocado, Tuna Salad, Spinach Salad with cheese, tomatoes ham, and oil/vinegar dressing....If I eat all of it, that's 1750 calories and that's my goal for the day - but I'll still need to eat dinner. 

I plan on cutting back on the mayo in the tuna salad, switching from Balsamic Vinegar to a different one once this bottle is done, and I dont know that I'll eat everything I brought anyways.   My macros seem to be tracking on target, although I'm at 23 carbs on the day and wanted to stay under 20.  The vinegar switch should help with that.  And the ham I'm currently using is cured in sugar, which doesn't help either. 

Also trying to intermittently fast while doing this.  I started with a 14 hour fast, and I'm gonna try and hold that for the week.  Gonna do weight and measurements tonight so I have something to go off of too.
