I tested my blood this morning with a nervous stomach. After my dismal test on Sunday morning I had no idea what to expect today. I had my regular breakfast of coffee blended with butter and MCT oil, one egg and 2 slices of bacon. I tested at about 10:30 am, and was pleased to register my highest reading yet – 2.2! Mental crisis averted.

On a lighter note, I discovered a new way to compete with my husband! Garmin Connect ranks how well you did on certain segments of rides so I spent a little time today tormenting him over a few segments where I had a higher ranking. I then made the mistake of telling him that I’m blogging about it and he pointed out that he checked 20 segments and I was ahead of him in 1 by “about 3 seconds.” And he calls me competitive.

I’m sure many of you reading this already knew about Garmin Connect, but I didn’t. I was never a numbers junkie until recently. Becoming keto-adapted has given me more energy and I’m now uploading my ride data, analyzing it carefully, and probably becoming a little obsessive about it. Accordingly, below are my stats from the same 93-mile ride, one week apart:
