I met with Julia from Nourish Balance Thrive to discuss nutrition. This will be a topic of a post in the coming days. In summary Julia suggested I add some more carbs to my diet. You can see in the food log I did just that starting on Friday. Blood test on Saturday and Sunday showed I had indeed dropped out of ketosis but I'm okay with this as I dial in the carbs.
On Friday morning I went and had blood pulled so that I could have some blood tests done. The folks at Nourish Balance Thrive will be interpreting these for me in the near future too. I'm quite excited to see where I am with my cholesterol and similar markers - you know, all those things that are supposed to go up with a high fat diet.. We should have the results for this in the next two weeks.
Weight bounced around (as in previous weeks) between 221-224. I guess this is just my walk around weight that I'm going to be at for the rest of my life? Those two-teen's are eluding me. Hopefully we get these carbs dialed in and the weight will start coming off again.
Week8 Food Log
On the training front, I did some pretty good interval sessions during the week in addition to some good zone 2 work. Intervals consisted of some hard 2 minute efforts one day and some even more difficult 45sec efforts on the other. On Sunday I did a cross-country mountain bike race (XC.) I felt really good for the race and pulled off a 2nd place finish. Though my handling skills were rusty, my motor was really good and I powered my way up on to the podium, yet again. Did I mention this was in the Cat1 40-49 class, the 2nd fastest class in Texas? Yep, I'm a little stokked myself. Race report is coming.
