Keto and Me, a Diabetic Journey #5 - Weight Loss, Fitness, and the Gym!

I have not been a regular gym rat for 13 years. I lost over 100lbs in 2004 and managed to gain 75% back since then. Food has always been an overlord in my life. The Keto lifestyle has allowed me to no longer be controlled. Unfortunately, my body has decided that diet alone will not shed the pounds. Almost a month into this Keto thing and it's time for the real work to begin...Fitness. This means I need to start a regular workout and fitness routine.

I joined a health club!

Needless to say, somethings I need to ease myself into. But, it does have a pool, although it is a bit on the small side.

I chose a small established Athletic Club that caters to older folks and does not allow children. There are no muscle bound douche bags or Instagram bimbos to distract me from getting it done!

Because of the older clientele, after 4PM, I pretty much have the place to myself for my cardio work. Not my favorite, but it must be done...

I will lift small amounts at first to see how the workout affects the Keto lifestyle as I have heard it can be complicated. This place does have lots of free weights and machines.

It's my goal to shed pounds and not bulk up. I won't complain if things tone up in the process though!

When the weather decides to cooperate, Titus will be getting some exercise as well!
