I have been meaning to post about what is going on in my life. My ultimate goal is to become a life coach.
There are many areas were I could help people, however there are other areas where I am struggling.
I've decided to take 7 weeks to experiment, especially with Keto to get healthier.
On September 16th, I took some inventory to see where I am starting. My blood pressure was 130/87. My heart rate was 101. My weight was 243 and my estimated body fat was 33.4.
I know this isn't great but I have been doing the Keto diet and have lost weight, but on the 16th I decided to get more serious.
Everyone's definition of the Keto diet is different. This is the version I am doing. I focus on eating low carb, leafy green vegetables and healthy fats such as olive oil and coconut oil. I also add a moderate amount of protein.
I also have been working on getting daily exercise. Although I was focusing on eating better, I was very physically out of shape. I decided to add a little walking 5 days or so a week to start.
Finally part of the reason my heart rate was so high is that I am drastically out of shape. Another reason is from stress.
I have been dealing with several issues like the passing away of most of my immediate family over the years, dealing with issues of bullying from when I was young, different anxiety issues etc...
So, I also am incorporating meditation, cognitive therapy and other therapeutic approaches to help with my emotional wellness.
I will let you know how everything works out in early November.
This is just the start of my adventure to live the best life.
