I did some reading up on what lazy keto is and I am definitely doing it.  Basically, all you do is count carbs every day and stay within your allotment and that’s it.  Strict Keto is the kind where you are also staying within your calorie counts.  This is NOT for me because I always find that I hit a wall with carbs but all those luscious calories that I’m supposed to have are just dangling out there in the wind teasing me that I can’t have them.  Dirty Keto involves processed foods and I’m not a fan of those so Lazy it is!    I am sick of eggs for breakfast but I sort of enjoy almond flour keto pancakes with blueberries in them.  They’re powdery for sure but the blueberries help lessen the desert sand effect a bit.

With LK, I am down 2.5 lbs and I have done very little working out.  It must be working because short of doing zero fitness I am putting in the bare minimum effort these days.  I haven’t seen 170 in many months and today the scale said 170.8 which I consider a victory.  My goal weight is 150 and somewhere inside I wonder if it’s possible to get there JUST eating keto and doing little workouts and walking here and there.  I guess we’ll see.

So there you have it!  The only time you’ll EVER hear me use the word Lazy when referring to myself.

I started lifting weights last summer and did an on and off throughout the Fall following Pauline Nordin’s Fighter Diet for quite some time.  After the turn of the new year, I did weight lifting freelance on my own plan and was faithfully committed to my made-up routine of heavy weights and a planned routine 6 days a week.  Then I started having issues with chest pain and as it turns out, as my husband predicted and the doctor confirmed, I have a muscular skeletal problem that is exacerbated with heavy weight lifting. Once I stopped, the pain went away.  Crap!  So I haven’t done weights in a while but something that happened yesterday made me decide to go back to weight lifting in moderation.

Laying in bed yesterday early morning, my husband had a total back spasm.  His entire back seized up causing him great discomfort.  He doesn’t lift weights and he runs here and there but he doesn’t have a regular fitness routine like I do.  Sometimes he will do a Body Pump video but that only lasts a week or so and then he allows himself to get busy with other things.  I know as we age, our bodies get more and more feeble and break down and get weak.  I believe if he did some weight lifting it would strengthen him up and things like a back seizure would not happen.   I for one am NOT going to lay down and watch life kick my butt and whittle me down to nothing and be a weakling.  I feel that I need to get back to lifting to stay as strong as possible.  I did arms yesterday and then rode the bike for 30 minutes and felt really good.  Time to start re-working my daily fitness.
