The Workout Reality Check
I went into the day ready to hit my interval walking plan that I put together.
And yeah…
That didn’t go as planned.
That workout?
Way too advanced for where I’m at right now.
I got about 30 minutes in, tried to push through it…
…but I could feel it.
This wasn’t “push yourself” hard.
This was “you’re going to burn out or quit” hard.
So I made a decision right there:
Adjust the plan. Don’t force it.
That original 60-minute setup for Monday and Tuesday?
Just a hair too much right now.
But the 30-minute version I put on the blog?
That one works.
That one pushed me…
without breaking me.
And right now, that’s exactly where I need to be.
Weights Went Exactly How I Wanted
After that, I hit about an hour of weights.
And honestly?
That felt great.
Strong.
Controlled.
Locked in.
No struggle to get started.
No dragging through it.
Just a solid workout all the way through.
The Diet Was Clean… But Something Was Off
I stuck to the diet.
No slips.
No nonsense.
But I started noticing something:
I’m not getting into ketosis like I expected.
And that bothered me.
Because I’ve done this before.
I know what it takes.
So instead of guessing… I started digging.
Tracking more closely.
Looking at everything I was eating.
And then I found it.
The Problem: “Healthy” Isn’t Always Keto
The Yasso frozen desserts I’ve been eating?
Yeah…
That was the issue.
I thought they were low carb enough.
And technically… they are.
But not for what I’m trying to do right now.
Not for getting into ketosis.
So just like that—
They’re out.
No debating it.
Another Small Adjustment
I’m also making one more change:
Swapping my morning yogurt for a hard-boiled egg.
The yogurt isn’t bad.
But right now?
I’m tightening things up.
And when you’re trying to get into ketosis…
Every little bit matters.
And honestly—
There’s not much left to cut.
So this is about dialing it in, not overhauling everything.
Where I’m At — Day 6
Day 6 was a good day.
Not perfect.
But productive.
I adjusted the workout instead of quitting it.
I found a diet issue instead of ignoring it.
And I fixed it.
That’s progress.
One More Day
One more day to go.
One more day to finish this first week.
And I can feel it starting to come together.
Not because everything is perfect…
But because I’m actually paying attention now.
