While camping, I had a freak food poisoning accident resulting in a major sprain of my right big toe, leaving me barely able to walk around (and with quite a limp). I was really bummed out because I had been very good about doing the Couch to Half Marathon program and really felt like I was making progress - I was already half-way through! After 3 weeks of waiting for it to feel better, I finally went to the podiatrist, and was prescribed a couple weeks of PT and a regimen of ibuprofen. Remarkably, my toe felt so much better in those 2 weeks that I was able to run my first 10K at the Lake Compounce Roller Coaster Race. I was a bit out of practice after not running for 5 weeks, so I did intervals of 4 mins running/2 mins walking, and finished in 01:19:42. After the run, we did the "Ride" race where we had to ride 5K of roller coaster track - that was actually pretty brutal since the coasters were not very smooth! But I got both of my medals. ;)
After spraining my toe, I also stopped going to CrossFit. Although I've run a few times since the sprain, I still haven't been to CrossFit in a full 2 months. I just don't seem to have the zeal for it that I had a couple years ago. But I do want to go back and hit some weights again. I just dread all the soreness!!! And I dread lacking the stamina I used to have. Hoping that will return once I am fat-adapted.
However, despite all this summer craziness, I'm happy to say that I didn't really gain much weight. I was trying to listen a little more to my body, skipping meals if I wasn't really hungry. I did quite a bit of intermittent fasting in the few days before Labor Day while painting the house like a madwoman (so much trim work all throughout the kitchen, living room, and hallway!), but I still felt fine, and was amazed at how much leaner I felt in just those few days. I'm planning to incorporate some IF regularly once I'm fat-adapted.
For the next few months, I intend to follow the following macros, which were recommended by a moderator on the Facebook KETOGains group. So many people have reported great success in that group. I think I was still eating too much previously, so my weight loss was very slow. So, cutting the calories back a bit to see how I do - hoping for some good progress. I really want to drop 20 pounds and get back into the low 180s for the race in January!
