My sleep wasn’t the best due to high ketones. For some reason I’m a bit of a ketone factory.

Today I did The Bar Method Beginner’s 37m + Karen Voight Pure & Simple Stretch Floor 30m

Karen made me crave a nap but unfortunately there’s no time for one.
Pure Strength Warm-up + Back (added 1 set BB Rows) 20m + Walking 25m

You can probably guess that my playlist for the walk was a blast from the past.

I’m always amazed how deep, controlled Barre work with a side of Weights impacts my fasting BG and Ketone readings. It’s the most powerful WO I do.
I’m back to Barre & Single Part a Day Lifting alternating with short Cardio & Restorative practices.

Today was The Bar Method Designer Sculpting 45m + Cathe Pure Strength Chest 10:24m - more blasts from the past.
Burr moves slowly and deliberately allowing a super deep dive into your muscles.
Blast from the past! Jane Fonda Low Impact Workout 49m

I’m going to slow down my cardio in order to hopefully slow down my inch loss. I know. Sounds counterintuitive but slow and steady wins the race.

Edited to add that today begins Week 6 for tightened up Medical Keto.
Today was To The Mat: Legs & Glutes 49m + Deep Squats & Arc Extensions 10m

I love this Cathe workout so much!

I’m back to doing deep squats and Arc Extensions because I can feel my left hip alignment slipping. I’ve ignored Pilates for too long.
Gloved Up & Sweaty 39m, Carry and Stack Wood 20m

I didn’t wear gloves but worked on getting a good snap and punching from my core. I used our halo trainer for the burpees. It worked really well.

I almost lost my pants three times while carrying wood. Time for smaller pants.
Stott Pilates Essential Stability Chair LB - 22m + Total Body Barbell Lower Body + Core - 35:52m + Deep Squats & Pilates Arc Extensions 5m

Yikes! Note to self. Do not slack on your Pilates! The difference will be noticeable when you return to it.
Total Body Barbell Upper Body Only - 34:11m + Pilates Spring Wall Stott Pilates UB
Only : Off the Wall 32m

I turned this BB WO into lower weight/ higher reps by preloading two BBs and lifting through the BB plate changes. This is more appropriate to my goals.
Cycle Power TS 2: 26:12m, ICE Muscle Meltdown Triceps 14m

Starting week 5 of the 8 week Medical OMAD program I’m doing. It’s going really well.

I’m trading my flat butt and round meno-pot for a rounded butt and flat abs! The power of renewed insulin sensitivity.
Restorative day with Cathe’s Yoga Relax premix 1. Hopefully some foam rolling later.
Fit Tower Lean & Mean 34m, ICE Muscle Meltdown Biceps 15.5m

Biceps are still challenging because my neck injury left me with a tiny bit of nerve damage in my left hand.
Today was Cardio & Weights Step Pre-mix. I doubled the Buttercup combo. I love that choreography! No weights today, again, by design.
This week is Barre/Ballet + one ICE Muscle Meltdown a day alternating with Cardio. So far it’s been:
S: FT Slim & Trim 36.5m, ICE MM Chest 15.5m

M: Int Step Sync 21m, ICE Muscle Meltdown Back 21.5m

Today was Fit Tower Long & Strong 34m, ICE Muscle Meltdown Shoulders 15.5m

Yes, these are not considered tough workouts. That’s by design.
I’m back, where to start? It’s time to start putting me first. I’m a shell of myself Covid-19 in 2020 has been keeping me down. Now I’m told Long Covid is what’s has been going on, I had it twice. I have breathing problems since and low to no energy. I could not walk to the restroom with stopping to catch my breathe. I have to build my lung capacity back to be able to do advanced workouts again.
The past 3 days have been great! Wed Perfect Pump Upper body Thurs
