So yeah, I’ve been managing to keep going with my exercise for sure. Setting PR’s here and there and feeling way more consistent! My blood sugar levels and blood ketone levels are definitely on point. I even shed 2.5 more pounds and I’m ecstatic! I just lack two things and they are two very important things.

First off, I am lacking my steady diet that I was doing last year around this time. I am on a modified version of keto with higher protein levels and slightly lower dietary fat levels and a decent amount of carbs from veggies. However I keep deviating from that and eating some things I shouldn’t from time to time. It’s not the hugest deal because I am still exercising a ton but you can’t out-exercise a poor diet.

Secondly and this is my most important one, I am not sleeping well at all. I need a nightly routine that doesn’t disrupt my need to sleep. That means cutting screen time at least an hour and a half before. Getting into the bedtime rhythm and maybe a bit of relaxed reading or something at night before bed. I am really causing myself a lot of damages because I am not recovering fully from my exercise routines and daily energy burn.

I’ll figure it all out though, I just really don’t want to get myself sick again. Last time I fell into this pattern I was sick for a good two week or so period.
