I am feeling FANTASTIC—or perhaps, I'm influenced by my return to 7 cups of coffee a day! While the carnivore diet was the sexier approach, my retro diet puts me in a better place—no nausea—and also encourages an intermittent fasting approach. PLUS, I couldn't find confidence in an approach that actively brushes RDAs aside as something only glucose gluttons have to meet. And I very could be wrong on this point, but if I'm not confident in it, I won't perform to my potential. Honestly, I like fiber...even if its from the rags of Egypt!

Finally, there may be something flawed with the idea that I can eat whenever I feel hungry and in that, whatever I want as long as there's no carbs. I mean, it seems like a plausible approach until I realize that feelings should be used as a catalyst and not as a metric. Feelings drove some bad eating habits in the past.

Not that weight can't be lost going carnivore, but I get the impression that I just do far better on my retro diet—historically anyway! I mean, we'll see come December 3, but it's an easy bet it'll be far more than 12 lbs or the percentage equivalent of the past couple of Expeditions.

And The Bump...well, that's the focus of the fearmonger...

I just can't stop.

This week's workout winds down tomorrow and it looks like I'm going to limp into my REST day on Sunday. Ah, it's my left ankle this time...the last couple of 2 1/2 hour sessions had to be cut short by 5-10 minutes because of an aching ankle. I dealt with it from 40 minutes in which led to some novel training solutions. It's always something...

I just can't BE stopped.
