Workout

As I understand it, most of our carbs come from grains. Paleo is a low-carb/no-carb diet because of the elimination of grains (high-glycemic carbs). There are still some carbs in paleo, but they should be low-glycemic carbs such as sweet potatoes.

Maybe I don't understand what keto is; I thought it was eliminating/reducing carb intake so your body burns fat instead.

You're right, I've just heard too many people claim to go keto because they're eating paleo but they're eating shit paleo with 100+ carbs in their diet a day.

I read the rest of that blog earlier tonight. I'm torn on how I want to approach this. Honestly, I don't work out. The longest span I've ever "worked out" consistently has been maybe 2-6 months in my whole like. Unless you count running with push-ups and sit-ups. Even then, I don't really push myself. This diet intrigues me because I'd like to be able to burn fat and drop a few pounds. I weighed myself again and I came in at 206, which is less than I thought. If I can loose 10lbs in fat, I'll be extremely happy.

With that said, I lean toward the CKD, because it's not like I'm really pushing myself. However, I don't want to pass out on the street if I decide to do some sprints or something.
On the other hand, TKD seems more manageable, but I feel like if I let a few carbs in, then I just will stop trying and let them all in, which is basically what happened the last time I thought I'd try this.

I've gone since pretty much Tuesday night eating very few carbs. Today at 4:50 pm I ate a cookie (it was glorious). I am still VERY sore from my workout Monday (run) and Tuesday (body weight exercises). I don't think I've injured myself, just very slow recovery. Also, I've been having a VERY difficult time waking up each morning. I'm talking over sleeping by an hour pretty much every day this week. I guess that is the fatigue I read about. Looking forward to having carbs this weekend, but not overdoing it. I plan on eating Pho tomorrow night.

One thing I wanted to ask about though, is if any of you guys have experienced circulation issues. My run tonight was SHORT. 1.5ish miles and 14ish minutes. I was wearing the same thin cotton gloves that I always wear when it is cold out, and same outdoor gear that is perfectly comfortable. Tonight, my hands were COLD. Like I thought I might have frostbite cold. I didn't hang around outside cooling down like usual. I came right in and my finger tips were in pain as they were warming up. It was about 27-30 degrees out, and I was outside, with gloves, for less than 20 minutes. I've never been this cold in such a short period of time. I might have run further but my fingers were almost completely numb. I've run when it was below zero before and never been this cold. Think it has anything to do with adjusting to this keto diet?

What the heck is a single ring muscle up?

Edit- wow those are impressive. Yup not happening here... Face plant and stiches for me.

Who is running the bolder boulder this year?

[Irving]

Not me, been a long time since I've run that far. It's in April or May?

Workout and diet is feeling better and seems to be working. Figured out a way I can do pull-ups in my garage with what I already have, but I could easily build a bar if I need.
As usual, dicked around procrastinating till the last second to work out tonight, so I got to run in the snow. Still got in a great run though.

It's May 26, and roughly 20% of people don't even run it. Last year I ran/jogged/walked it with my son. Tons of eye candy there if you need motivation.

Im interested in events. Not interested in boulder. At all.

I'd rather step on my dick than run a 10k.

I finally got my squat form right, hip drive and all that, so it should start progressing nicely. My other lifts are moving well. I've lost about 6 lbs in the last two weeks but I see that leveling off. We'll see how far I can push the linear progression before I have to move to something slightly more advanced and throw in some high intensity, low volume cardio to help with the weight loss.

Not a ton of pictures in this thread. So here is what your gun looks like after a late night 5K.


And here is my post workout snack.


The gun actually dried out a bit trying to get the shot.
The snack is peanut butter with some cinnamon Life cereal stuck in there. I was going to drizzle honey on there, but didn't want to over do it.

How long did it take you MP to run that 5k? Looks like it got a pretty good workout it :

fast carb and protein- good choice for a post workout. I have been taking some Afterglow has a ton of BCAA and a little bit of carbs and protein. It's a little sweet, but really helps my post workout recovery.
