Keto Day 9 and 10, back to the gym after 10 days off!

It's Saturday and I actually made it to the gym this morning!  I warmed up with a one mile walk on the treadmill and then did a little circuit:

Assisted pull up machine  6 pull ups at 60 lbs

                                          6 chin ups at 60 lbs

                                          8 pull ups at 80 lbs

                                          8 chin ups at 80 lbs

Chest press machine        3 sets of 8 reps at 30 lbs

Bicep curl machine           3 sets of 8 reps at 20 lbs

Stretch cage                     5 min.

This is nowhere near the work out I was doing for the past 5 years but I've been told I was

just damaging my adrenals by pushing myself that hard.  All of the exercises I did today were very slow and intentional whereas boot camp had been nothing but high speed, high interval and heavy weights to keep your heart rate elevated.

Before I worked out I had breakfast and here's what today's eats have been so far:

Meal 1 - 2 eggs scrambled in bacon fat

              2 slices Pederson's uncured bacon

              2 cups organic baby spinach

Meal 2 - Post gym

              1/2 cup low salt pistachios

               1 pkg Korean seaweed strips

Meal 3 - 6 chicken wings in buffalo sauce

              4 celery sticks

              2 tbsp. bleu cheese dressing

Meal 4 - Keto popsicle (coconut cream, cinnamon, stevia)

Meal 5 -

Glucose level - 89

Weight is -3.2 lbs.  I saw a number on the scale today I haven't seen for probably a year.

I am not doing this to lose weight but to heal my damaged metabolism and if I do lose

weight, it's a bonus.

Friday's eats:

Meal 1 - 2 eggs scrambled in bacon fat
