Yllek Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I got in the best shape of my life while being fairly active here. Then life happened, I got sick, depression hit, fast forward 3 years and I found myself 40 pounds heavier and not the happiest I've ever been. I decided to get back into fitness towards the end of 2017, I started doing crossfit and loved it. Went too hard, too fast and developed tendonitis in both my knees. Took a break, started working out again at my own pace, started doing keto and I lost 15 pounds in 4 months. Then I got sick....again, was traveling a lot for work, started dating someone, and stopped taking care of myself. I have managed to gain 5 pounds back in the last 3 months, and I want to put a stop to it and baby step my way back into health. Researching keto and intermittent fasting I found myself back here again. I'm ready to get back, I know what I need to do, and what works. My body needs a lot of healing and I know it's going to fight me, so I need my mind to do some of the heavy lifting until I feel better again, I hope to find here some of the motivation and accountability that helped me in the past. Also I need to work on stress management as some of the ailments I'm currently dealing with are exasperated by stress. For the next 2 weeks my plan is to do the following until the next challenge starts: DIET Intermittent Fasting Keto Diet Fitness Strength training 4x a week at least for 30mins Start running again 10-15 mins at a time 3x a week Life/Stress Management Sleep at least 7 hours 5x a week Research stress management techniques I'm excited to be back in the community and look forward to starting the new challenge in a couple of weeks. 2 Quote Starting overLevel 0 Link to comment

jedi_mind Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Sounds like a good plan, a strong commitment to exercise. I've sean keto work for people, you sound like you have good results as well. Quote Link to comment
DanaeArgos Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Best of luck to you! I too am back on a keto diet along with my husband. For us it works the best and I love watching the pounds drop (I think it is mostly water weight, not actually fat, but all the same, it is motivation). One week in and we're both down 8 pounds! I'll be around cheering you on! Quote Link to comment
