Two pounds lost this week, and almost 4 on the month. Earlier in the week I actually saw 275.x once and 276.x three times, but I also ate like 4000 calories Friday, so yeah. All keto friendly, just a ton. I'm cautiously optimistic that my stall that began when I started working out is over and I'll start losing again every week.
In addition to my three classes w/ the trainers at the gym this week, I went for a run Sunday, Thursday used the elliptical for 40 minutes and Saturday used it for a full hour. I used my heart rate monitor when I went running and found that my heart rate is still in ridiculously bad shape. At what is basically a walking pace (3 mph) but in a jogging motion instead of walking my heart rate very quickly hits 150 and if I maintain that same pace after 20 minutes its creeping up on 170.
So I'm using the elliptical at the gym on a few off days to try to work on that. I'm going at whatever pace is needed to keep my heart rate between 135-145 for upwards of an hour. The equivalent of the "long, slow run" or whatever. The work with the trainers is all at a much faster pace and is definitely high intensity for me, so I'm assuming this lower intensity "get the heart rate up and keep it up for awhile" type of thing is best for me on off days, and something I want as part of trying to fix my overall fitness level.
This Friday at the gym we'll take measurements to see if I've lost any inches over the last month. I also see my doctor tomorrow to check cholesterol and testosterone. Its been about 2 months w/o testosterone prescription now, I'm curious to see if increasing my level of activity over the last 6 weeks has helped yet. I am certain it is still very low, but maybe slightly less low than the last time we checked it.
