Another glorious evening in paradise! mid 60's w/ a very (very) light rain- perfect running weather (again!)- I did the same 7.5 loop just in reverse. I thought this way might be a little quicker, but it's not- not longer either- finished within two minute of my time yesterday

Still at the various 3-4x5 and in the gym most days. Also averaging between 6-7mile jog/walks 4-5days per week. 6.05 today on the fitbit.

Good to see you battue!
It was "ride our age" day with my buddy, we do it every year, so a 52 mile ride. Left IT band went out @ mile 38 or so. Owwww. Well dammit that's why God gave us two legs. Right IT band started barking at mile 42. The last ten miles were about agony management, not so much getting a workout... but I made it home w/o making the Call of Shame so I'll call it a win.

Thank you. Impressive load of wood you stacked.
Went on an intermittent fasting regimen. Nothing after 8 pm until 12-1pm the next day. Then eat pretty much what you want. The energy level is getting a little scary. Reflux has disappeared.

The stacking is the easy part! But thanks. Every year for 25 years now. Someday, archeologists will be like, the skeleton indicates this primate swung a heavy axe-like object a LOT! Hopefully, my beer gut doesn't fossilize. I apologize for missing it (if I did)..... are you battling something, battue?

No doubt. Hard on the truck springs also.
The key to a beer gut is never get one. Have only seen a few that made one go away
Yea, time and he keeps keeping back up. Frustrating.

For years now have tracked my rough daily calorie consumption on My Fitness Pal. On doing so with the Intermittent Fasting I have found my carbohydrates are now usually around 80/day vs the 200/day previously. I'm guessing it has changed my eating more towards the ketogenic diet. I have always been big on milk and bread, but have eliminated milk and cut back large on the bread. Now if I can get some good French bread, I'm going for it. That in the plastic wrap someone else can have.
"3. Have more energy
You know the scenario: You grab that sugary, caffeinated pick-me-up, you feel great for about 30 minutes, and then, bam… You want to lay your head on your desk and pray 5 p.m. rolls around soon. A high-carbohydrate diet spins your energy all over the place, and that blood sugar roller coaster crashes really hard. But a ketogenic diet steadies blood sugar levels, providing slow, sustained all-day energy so you're focused, energized, and fulfilled. Research has shown that mitochondria—those little power plants within your cells—actually prefer ketones as fuel. Ketones significantly decrease free radical damage, protecting your mitochondria. Ketones can even help create new mitochondria, optimizing energy levels in the bargain."
I do cheat some in the AM. I have a mixed Whey Protein drink which is around 90 calories and a Branched Chain Amino Acid mix which is 5 calories. This gives me an AM start on 5 glasses of water. Knee and back inflammation levels also seem to have improved.
Addition: Total daily calories have also decreased. The stomach must have downsized and you eat less to fill up.

I understand the benefits of cutting back carbs, I was more interested in the fasting aspect of it. Did you do both (cut back on carbs and intermittent fast) at the same time?

Daily carb consumption was reduced by what I ate with Intermittent Fasting. So, yes with the way I ate I did both at the same time. If I ran down to Dunkin Donuts at 1 pm I'm sure the results would obviously be different.
There are 14-16 hours out of the day where I have no chance of eating the wrong foods. Makes things easier.

Yea, time and he keeps keeping back up. Frustrating. The first time you hear "getting old ain't for sissies!" it's kinda funny. As the decades roll by, not so much. Sounds like you are taking on some metabolic issues head-on; that's awesome and must be quite difficult.... uh... at your age. (I just sorta put myself in the position where there was no other way to finish that sentence!)

No big deal, it's not that difficult. Hope you are doing as well when the DL reads the same. You'll be lucky, worked at it and blessed if you are.
