Cheers bro, I remembered the 80/20 rule! I got straight back on keto yesterday and even ended up doing a workout last night

Day 9
Genesis 3 mins
I went with a 3 minute loop today to see how it works. So far so good. I feel a bit fuzzy in the head while driving but otherwise good. I have this idea that doing loops on day 1,3,5 then taking 4 days off as a continuous cycle would work for me. I seem to start strong then overload fast.
Absolutely smashing the ālist of doomā at the moment getting a bunch of things done yesterday and today. Iām really busy at the moment though and the commitments are kind of freaking me out. The kids are on school holidays too after this week so thereās going to be some juggling to do over the coming two weeks.
Kind of feeling a bit weird still. It could be the fluctuating diet though because I ate carbs again today. I smashed this banana, peanut butter, honey and milk smoothie when I got home. It was good but overall I feel better without carbs but these urges strike and I didnāt resist. Itās like I expect it to give me energy and feel good again but I just get bloated and feel the same 
Iām eating out for lunch tomorrow, so Iām going to go carbs again but Iāll try not to eat too much food. Then Thursday, Iāll get back on keto and start tracking keto days 
and bodyweight here again. That was working better than going it alone.

Keto 
I took a day off everything today to recalibrate. Had a nice lunch out my wife but now Iām going back on the keto diet for another weight loss push.
I was a bit internally shook this morning after I had a bit of a verbal confrontation with someone late yesterday afternoon. I thought āI need a loop of Emperorā 
I did the loop of genesis and got into action and am gradually feeling better as the morning is progressing.
Iām moving slower and more in control. No panic, no rush to complete the work. It feels better this way. I went from panic of late āam I taking on top much?ā but Iām reminded to chip away at it and enjoy the present moment.
I think genesis does a good job of bringing me back to my senses in the present so Iām not thinking as much.

Not unhappy about the weight after 2 high carb days. Best so far has been 95.8kg in a depleted keto state. My eyes are set on 90kg.target for now but I dare say that target wonāt be the end of the weight loss. I look like I still have a fair bit of fat to lose. Iām feeling better at work though, I think the incline treadmill is improving my fitness. Strength is pretty good too with the dumbbell pressing and push ups I notice my shoulders holding up better when using the pole hedger. Iām pretty tired but feeling better already off the carbs although I wonāt be in ketosis for another few days Iām guessing. One more day to go, Iām going to smash this job out fast tomorrow. Another lawn Reno but only a small area so it will be manual coring, hard raking, scalping and top dressing. Hoping to finish by 1pm.
Day 12

Keto
Finished work at 1.45pm, almost hit the 1pm knock off target. Went pretty hard today, fasted all day too so I should drop some weight. At 3.30pm I ate a massive keto meal. It really hit the spot. No temptation to eat carbs. Feeling a touch mentz but productivity this week has been phenomenal.

With this, you can know whether you burning fat or carbs.

" The Lumen device uses a CO2 sensor and flow meter to determine the carbon dioxide concentration in your breath, which indicates whether your body is burning fat or carbs. This measurement builds a daily nutritional plan."
That tool looks amazing. Itās crazy how this type of technology exists yet Iād never would have known. āblow into this and Iāll make you the perfect diet planā
I canāt justify spending 
that amount, although itās certainly interesting.
Do you use one of them? How do you find it if so?
Do not use it. Just found out a few minutes ago

Genesis - 15 minutes
A big weight loss as expected, mostly dehydration, but itās good to weigh under 95kg for the first time.
I did a 15 minute loop this morning with not much to report as yet. Iāll try to get a workout in later today or tomorrow. Iām physically tired but also paranoid that I wonāt have any muscles if I donāt lift weights while losing weight every now and then.

A while back from old journal. Iād already lost a good 5kg or more at this time so it was not my fattest.
Currently, feeling a lot slimmer and fitter. Started working out and eating keto most days.

Keto
I ate carbs last night, not a lot but I was feeling under recovered still from Friday and thought it would help. I notice this keto diet is good until you do prolonged and intense physical activity. It seems to take a lot longer to recover from the hard work when eating only fat and protein. Iāll stock up on more keto foods today and plan the week out. Iāll also mark on the log keto compliance from the previous day, to make it easier.
Iām trying hard to stick to this keto today 
so much yummy food here I canāt eat. I smashed in a workout, 3x8 and then 30 minutes of incline treadmill walking. Great funā¦ 
In retrospect, the 15 minute Genesis loop yesterday wasnāt my brightest moment 
I was in recon for half of today, and I felt irritated and antisocial but thankfully it lifted by the afternoon. I played a few ball games with the kids 
which was an effort. I donāt think Iām too good at parenting, I find kids to be annoying a lot of the time.
Iāve also had this urge to listen to Emperor to help cure my cowardly ways. Iām liking Genesis and it does push me through fears while taking action but internally it feels like I need a stronger resolve and greater courage 
My libido has been pretty fucked too lately. I donāt know why but nothing turns me on. Iām thinking I should see how long I can go without having sex or jerking off and see if anything improves

I had more dreams about witches, these ones scared me a bit. What is it with me and witches? I even remember one when I was a kid being chased up a lighthouse tower.
Anyway, those checks for keto and exercise were from yesterday and will be from the previous day each entry now.
Just a micro loop today, Iāll see what theyāre all about. I was reading through Emperorās objectives last night. It sounds pretty good but I might stick with Genesis and wait to see what upgrades come out. Primal was another sub that sounded good for me too after reading the list of objectives.

Have you thought about running Lineage Mandate? Might help to enhance your parenting skills and create a strong bond with your children; as your children are your legacy, and every moment spent with them is an opportunity to make a positive impact. Keep in mind that the love and guidance you provide today will significantly influence the individuals they become tomorrow. Embrace this challenge, and youāll witness the profound difference you can make in their lives.

Yeah, I looked at the sub a few weeks ago. Thanks for your advice too, I think youāre right. I will keep your message in mind.
I try to involve them in things and teach when possible. The youngest is a boy and most interested in mechanics so I get along with him, the middle child is a boy who is more artistic and wishy-washy but we get along alright, my eldest is a girl who is an athletics champion for her age.
I think the part I hate most about parenting is socialising with other parents and the different functions and events. But after working, just being around them is hard work sometimes.

Push forward, mate. Itās just recon. As far as I can see Genesis is doing a great job for you and itās building great foundation for your future development and endeavors. Personally, I would wait for the AM with the new wealth scripting letting Genesis sink in deeper and make me stronger on my path.

Thanks for the comment man, itās good to know youāve noticed some change. Itās hard to notice myself at times but I was thinking that Iāve made pretty big improvements since joining the forum and running subs. I was living a stagnant existence for a long time and now Iām moving forward again.
I think Iāll take your advice and wait for the updated AM. It is a good sub and the improved wealth scripting can only help. Genesis is still doing good things, provided a donāt over exposure myself. I love how chilled and content I feel living in the moment, and not worrying about what could happen but instead just being happy doing something and making money.
