While The 13th Expedition was about getting into the rhythm of a keto diet leaving only the 5th and 6th weeks for workouts, The 14th Expedition is all about the implementation of a training regimen to run in tandem with nutrition.

I lookedup a blog post by Mark Sisson, author of Keto for Life: Reset Your Biological Clock in 21 Days and Optimize Your Diet for Longevity (2019). I'm really like the implementation of the 4 exercises he posts. And I gotta admit, at 66 he is cranking out a workout that knocks me back. C'mon, decline Spider-Man pushups at his age?! Get out of here!

One of my takeaways from the book for direct application is to pull back on the throttle for my morning routine. It's a carryover from when I was young, but when I train, I thrive to rail against the temptation to quit. But, when I step back, can I really say that what I'm doing is fun? If I'm not enjoying what I'm doing, then its going to take will to get it done. And from experience, I know that despite having the will to go for 116 days on 1150 kcal /day, I eventually stopped. A force of will in whatever application is just not sustainable. It's great to work in a pinch, but, it's simply not a starter.

I enjoy having a meditation space; I value having a workout in the morning. These things are important to me. But, when I push beyond fun where it feels it breaks me, or at least, breaks me from all the other activities I want to accomplish in a day, then I gotta re-evaluate.
