Keto Day 15 and 16

Have you ever felt like time is your enemy?  It seems like the more time I have, the less I get done.  I have been sleeping in till about 6 every morning when I am usually up at 4:45 on the weekdays, not that it's bad but I should be accomplishing a lot if I'm going to bed at 10!

I had fully intended to go to the gym Thursday morning but ended up reading an e-book, doing research, and cleaning.  I finally made it around 10:30 and here's what I did:

15 minute warm up on the elliptical
assisted pull up machine - 8 pull ups at 60 lbs
                                           8 chin ups at 60 lbs
                                           10 pull ups at 80 lbs
                                           10 chin ups at 80 lbs
chest press machine - 3 sets of 8 reps at 45 lbs
bicep machine             3 sets of 8 reps at 10 lbs
stretch cage

I felt like I could do more, especially with the pull up machine - for some reason I felt much stronger than I did last time.

Thursday's eats:

Meal 1 - 2 eggs, scrambled in bacon fat
              2 slices Pederson's uncured bacon
              2 cups organic baby spinach

Meal 2 - 1/2 cup low salt pistachios
              1/4 cup peanuts

Meal 3 - 4 grilled chicken wings
              2 tsp. tapatio

Meal 4 - 4 oz. raw ahi tuna
              green onions
              jalapenos
              seaweed salad
              cucumbers
              spring mix
               seaweed
              1 cup tulsi tea with 2 tbsp. coconut oil

Glucose level:  100

Today's eats:

Meal 1 - 2 eggs, scrambled in bacon fat
              2 slices Pederson's uncured bacon
              2 cups organic baby spinach

Meal 2 - Chipotle salad with
              lettuce
              steak
              fajita vegetables
              mild salsa
              sour cream
              guacamole

Meal 3 - 1/2 cup low salt pistachios
              1/2 cup peanuts

Meal 4 - ElPollo Loco
               2 chicken thighs
              1 cup broccoli
               1 cup garden salad
              1 tbsp. bleu cheese dressing

Glucose level:  122 (WTF)
Ketone level:    0.2  (again, this has not changed at all WTF)
Weight:  -4 lbs

I notice that my chest is shrinking (yes!).  That makes me happy; with all this weight gain I was gaining in that area and I am used to having a smaller chest.

So, my numbers as far as glucose and ketones are getting worse but my weight is going down.  I seems to notice a correlation with doing a workout the day before as far as elevated glucose.
