"The Results Are In..."
After 6 weeks with a total of the following of ready-to-eat weights:
- Bacon: 8.4 lbs
- Bacon Fat: 5 cups
- Butter: 5.3 lbs
- Ghee: 8.2 lbs
- Ground Beef: 10.1 lbs
- Beef Liver: 3.6 lbs
- Large Eggs: 17
- Coffee: 6.5 gallons
- Oysters: 0.5 cans
- Prosciutto: 0.5 lbs
I have lost 11 lbs (-4.4%) EVEN in the context of this leg injury and its swelling. In the last 126 days of carnivore, I have lost a combined total of 54.5 lbs. And CLEARLY as you can see above, I ain't starvin' with that low-calorie Hug a Tree / Animals are People, Too nonsense. Naw, I'm all this.
I updated everything on the Fitness page for a comparative review (graphs/table). The 30th Expedition nearly ran parallel to the 15th, with my current lead only attribute to that first six weeks out of the gate back in November. That said, The 16th Expedition: 20⚡25 faltered in terms of weightloss; I was only able to rally when I flipped the switch to carnivore in the waning moments. I should be able to beat it and extend my lead further.
I had fun in The 30th Expedition: Guilty Pleasures. The titles first reflected music that are my guilty favorites, just with parodied titles themed around my diet. Perhaps my favorite rendition was the one I did for that Billy Ray Cyrus song: "I Won't Apply Part, Hibachi à la Carte. Adjust Donut—Sink It in the Sand!" But the most challenging aspect was for me to run down 42 guilty favorites! I just do not have that many; I tend to be proud of what music I choose. But, there is an oddball place in me regarding select Spice Girls off that first album, boy bands of the '90s—that sort of thing. College stuff.
Destination '23 in the Fast Lane
I optimized/stripped everything down out of New Year's Resolutions list to projects I am actively engaged in doing and one reach. As much as I would like to learn Greek and remove the rust and repair my calculus, I do not seem to have the time with respect to other projects. I do not want to do a mediocre job in Python development. And other things I knocked off the list because I want to highlight a core.
The 31st Expedition
All of the celebration is now behind me. I am on to May 8 that is 41 days and 20 hours down the road. As it relates to what I am bringing aboard this ship's stores, I like my BBBE rotation. Unlike the past Expedition, there will be a lot more movement. Even my VR set is coming online after being boxed for such a LONG time! Daily resistance is a focus of this Expedition, but more Rocky IV than the Rock. May 8 is around the corner.
