My mother mentioned she misses my Friday Fives so back to it. 1. Work Work is still work. Lots going on there. Always busy. I do also still love my job. Commuting from Sacramento to San Francisco is a bit long, it’s a good thing I only have to do that occasionally. 2. Home/Erik I know I haven’t mentioned it…
180 days Keto
This is all anecdotal, my opinion and based on what has worked for me. I’m a software engineer, not a nutritionist. You’re free to disagree with me and it’s highly possible that what works for me may not work for you. Keto is a low carb, high fat (LCHF) diet setup to encourage your body to enter a state of…
Keto Month 6
August, Month 6 on Keto (low carb, high fat) Down 50.9 lbs (6.4 lbs this month). This month I had a bit of a health scare. Early in the month 8/2, 8/4 and 8/8 I had incidents of hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar). The first incident was kind of out of the blue (and I didn’t know what was happening)…

May Month 3 on #keto (low carb, high fat) Down 27.5 lbs (9.9 lbs this month). This month I had only one incident of “cheating”. Cherries are in season and I am weak. I ate most of a bag of cherries all by myself over two days..and I got the WORST carb hangover from it. I think I’ve also figured…
Keto Month 2
April Month 2 on #keto (low carb, high fat). Down 17.6 lbs. It was down 20 lbs but I’ve had 3 incidents of “cheating” that bounced that back up. * Early in the month when I commuted into SF I got my regular affagato (espresso and gelato). I’ve fixed that issue and confirmed that a latte breve is just as…
Gardening with a black thumb
Notably lacking from any of this (aside from the succulent garden) is the idea of planting plants. This is the type of gardening I feel I can handle. Our first pass is get the planting areas into shape. We may go for a second pass where we add some plants or raised garden area. Pool garden The backside of the…
Keto Month 1

Other than that I’ve eliminated all…
