I am sure there is some truth to that, but 'shape' is too hard to maintain at 56 to let it slide for a week or 2. I have been working out pretty consistently, so I will grind on, even if it slows progress a bit. If I am good, and history is any indication, I should be able to get back to 185 by early October, just in time for a GoRuck Double Tough event I am doing (first adventure I will have done without my son in 10 years).
Today had my last meal with my son for the foreseeable future...sushi with ice cream afterwards. Now only water until probably Wednesday lunch, and then time to gorge on awesome meat and salad, bacon and eggs, and keto venison stew into October. I actually am exited to be stepping off on keto again.
