I’ve now completed 4 weeks of the keto diet. I’m impressed, I’m fascinated, and I’m feeling good. Oh, and I’m accomplishing my goals, too. Week over week, the biggest difference is again with my hunger. I’m just not hungry very often, so I’m not eating as much. I’ve kept very careful track of my calories
I’m now through 3 full weeks of the keto diet, and I’m getting less hungry by the day. For me, the first week garnered the biggest weight loss, which is as expected. The body stops storing glycogen, and the “weight” of glycogen is mostly water. I went from around 200 down to 195. At that
I started my keto diet on January 9, so I’ve been doing it for just over a week. Here are some notes on it so far. From my understanding, being in ketosis takes between 2-7 days. I’m on Day 8, and the test strips aren’t detecting any ketones – or at least a very low
Around July 2021, I decided I wanted to drastically cut carbs and possibly try the keto diet. Only 16 months later, and I’m finally doing it! It’s been a journey that was originally sidetracked by terrible illness resulting from my changes in food choices. Up until then, I’d followed my “Heart Rate Health” program I
We’re now a few weeks into 2022, and I have to say, it could have started better without the omicron variant of COVID. At least it’s not 2021 or 2020 anymore. For the most part, I think this will be a great year, but there’s a long way to go for that happen. This year,
When using Advanced Custom Fields in WordPress, I often get and use a custom link field like this: When doing this, PHP will gently remind me with a notice that I have used an illegal string offset. Warning: Illegal string offset ‘url’… The top result in Google send us to this ACF support page. I
It’s January 2, 2020. Have you broken your New Year’s resolutions yet? I’d bet about half the people who make resolutions don’t even make it to Day 3. And that’s absolutely fine as long as they don’t give up or feel badly about themselves at this point. For me, I start thinking about things I
It’s Day 7 of my #500DaysTo50 project, and right on time, Vishy Anand, one of my chess heroes, turns 50 years old today. I’m sure I first heard of Anand when he was 14 and I was 13. Back then, I thought I was on the path of becoming a grandmaster player, and I figured
Here we are on Day 3 of #500DaysTo50. I’ve been trying at this “career thing” for over 25 years now. If I’m asked the “what do you do” question now, I’m answering that “I’m an entrepreneurial web developer and online marketer”. That’s largely in keeping with how I’ve made my career. I formed my first
It’s Day 3 of #500Daysto50. I started this on Day 1, even though I’ve been suffering with a cold for around 10 days now. Honestly, it’s been getting me down more than a cold should. Why is that? I’ll be talking much more – way too much more for some people – about acetylcholine (a
