LOL. S'okay - we could use a Harley (of either variety) in the neighbourhood.

Forgot food for work tonight, so ended up eating a lot of peanuts. Could've been worse, I guess.

Okay, I slacked yesterday. Today won't be much better. As for yesterday:
Diet
Protein: 800cal (200g)
Carbs: 32cal (8g)
Fat: 1133cal (126g)
Total calories: 2005
Training - N/A
As for today--and for many days to come--I'm working 9a-3p, then 430p-930p. The break between isn't enough to get in a full workout given travel times, food prep, and dealing with the dog. I'm either going to get in two mini-workouts on these days--one before and one after the 9a-3p shift--or I'll be getting up around 6a to get in a full workout before everything. Anything substantial is out for today since I'm back in at the crack of dawn tomorrow, so hopefully I can get in a quick round of sandbag deadlifts and shower before the 430p shift today. Tomorrow I have a five-mile run after the 6a-8a shift, so that'll be nice.
Follow all that? Me neither...

You're still hanging in here. Good work Ben, especially being so busy. Many would use that as an excuse to slack off (not me of course  )

Thanks, man. I tell ya, the keto part isn't hard. The hard part is finding carbs on the weekends around my place. I just don't have them in a readily-consumable form. Gee, guess I'll just have to walk the four blocks to the best bakery in town, eh? [img]smile.gif[/img]
I wish I could say I'm making progress as far as body composition is concerned, but I don't feel that I am. My athleticism has improved significantly since I started running--distance at first and recently adding sprint work and plyometrics. I am now running five miles without really thinking about it. Found out I actually did close to eight miles last week instead of seven. Sprint form is returning. Rope jumping has returned with ease thanks to the running. Haven't lifted as much as I would like, but I've maintained the big stuff with sandbags and bodyweight stuff.
I dunno. I'm just about ready to move to Long Island or Little Rock and say to Mejia or JP, "I'm yours. Take me." Of course, I mean that in the most platonic sense. Just having a hard time figuring out what's missing. I'm already doing some kind of training four days per week (Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat/Sun). I'm hitting keto like clockwork every Wednesday morning if not sooner and dropping out Friday night or Saturday afternoon depending on what carby temptations are offered, but even then, I'm keeping my calories in check on the weekends instead of carbing up.
Damn, sorry, didn't mean for this to turn into a bitchfest (I thought Lilithfair was over) 
Diet (before the brownies tonight)
Protein: 667cal (167g)
Carbs: 16cal (4g)
Fat: 959cal (107g)
Subtotal calories: 1678
Training
2 rounds (60RI) rope jumping to failure (which is always my rotator cuffs)
3 x 10 mid-thigh-high box jumps (60RI)
5 tuck chin-ups
15min walk with the dog
5 tuck chin-ups
Really tight on time with the new work schedule. Looks like I'll have to start hitting with the early crowd again (did it in college for awhile and loved it).

Maybe you should up your cals by 250-500/day for a week just to shock your body?
One other thought too is are you geting enough sleep with your hectic schedule?
As for finding more carbs for the weekends, I've got two words for you:
"Fettucine Alfredo"
Hope the weekend carb up goes well

I'm kinda leery about the caloric increase. We'll see. As for sleep, I'm golden there. Maybe I need to get better sleep over time instead of just the past few days. Mmmmmmmmmm... fettucini alfredo... On my way to work, I'm stopping by the bakery for a loaf of whole wheat sourdough bread [img]smile.gif[/img]
Training - ~6mi. run
~.75mi walking warm-up
Total time: 1:03:39 (incl. 3min water break at midpoint)
Time in zone (192/160): 54:17
Avg HR: 174
kcal/fat: 1312, 25%
~.75mi walking cool-down
Nice recovery run. Had enough in the tank to sort of sprint the last block, though only my hip flexors were working and no hamstring, so my knees came up too high, and I didn't push off like I should have. Sprinting on jello. Another eight-miler next weekend, and since I'm starting to train in the morning, and since my running partner is going to be out of town this weekend, hoping to get in at least a 5K, if not a 10K, Wednesday morning.

!@#$!^*!#@$# bakery closed in July! !@#$!#^#@$ AAAAAAAnyway...
Diet
Protein: 803cal (201g)
Carbs: 22cal (6g)
Fat: 1092cal (121g)

Rock.
Training
15 reps ~30yd sprint with 60RI (120RI after reps 5 and 10)
I'm having to come up with lightning-fast workouts in case I miss the morning window (like today). HIIT works well for this. Not sure about lifting, and endurance running is definitely out. Still rolling almost two months in, but hopefully the sleep thing will kick in soon with the mirror.

That's awesome, Ben. There are few people out there that could do 50 chinups! Seriously. I'm glad I'm not you tomorrow though ...

Word.
Training - Three-hour ride. Kinda rough as my grip strength hadn't fully recovered from the chin-up marathon on Tuesday.
