Felt good to be back out on the road bike! It’s been too long. Bit brisk this morning, dropped down to 51! I’ll remember to wear some arm warmers tomorrow. First training ride for El Tour de Tucson is in the bag! Anyone else riding it this year? . . . #ett #ett2018 #eltourdetucson #cycling #roadcycling #mountainlife #sometimesimanathlete #athleteforlife #ride #puttinginthemiles #basemiles (at Show Low, Arizona)

The leaders of the 2018 Tour Divide have gone almost 240 miles since the start yesterday morning at 8am. Wow. They will cross the US border this morning. There are two historic dots they are chasing, the record holders Mike Hall (Men’s record of 13 days, 22 hours 51 minutes) and Lael Wilcox (women’s 15 days, 10 hours, 59 minutes). There was a significant course re-route that has added some distance and difficulty which is why they are so far behind now. Prior to the getting to the rerouted section of the course the leaders were on pace to challenge the record. . . #sometimesimanathlete #tourdivide #ridethedivide #gdmbr #greatdivide #continentaldivide #bikepack #bikepacking #bikepacker #bikepackinglife #goodluck #enjoytheride #gitrdone #epic #findyourpassion #adventure #adventureawaits #athleteforlife #mountainbike #crushingit #beastmode #goforit

6AM. Time to get up and use the restroom, change into my cycling clothes and get on my rollers or head out the door for a bike ride. When I get back I shower then sit outside and drink my first cup of coffee of the day before starting work at 8AM. I work until around 11:30AM then take the dog out for a walk. I have a lite lunch at my desk when we get back then work until 5PM, then I make dinner, eat and wrap the day up by working on my blog, social media or design images with the TV on in the background. I’m back to bed at 10PM.
This is my typical day. It’s my current routine. I do the same thing just... .

About to whip up a batch of my world famous simple guacamole. Simple ingredients, the trick is to dive the jalapeños, garlic, onion and tomato super fine.

Here’s the recipe for my super simple Keto friendly Lemon Poppyseed Sour Cream muffins (my wife’s fav): . 1/2 cup melted butter 3/4 cup swerve (or similar sweetener) 3 large eggs 1 1/2 cup almond flour 1/2 cup coconut flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp xanthan gum 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup full fat sour cream Zest from one lemon Juice from that lemon Pinch of salt 2 Tbs Poppy Seeds I put all the dry ingredients in my food processor, give it a quick whirl to mix, then add all the wet ingredients and let it mix completely (may have to scrape the sides once). While it’s mixing, pour in the poppy seeds. Makes 12 good sized muffins. Cook at 350 degrees for 35 min (I’m at 6,500 feet elevation, so your cooking time may vary). . Gotta try these! So, so good! . . #keto #ketorecipe #lemonpoppyseed #muffins #ketomuffins #ketogoodness #healthy #healthyliving #youcandoit #makeithappen #athleteforlife #believeinyourself #eatright #fatisgood #fattygoodness #butter #sometimesimanathlete #yum #yummy #sogood

Let’s talk sweat. Sweat equity is the investment you make in yourself through activity. Sweating is not the same for everyone. Two people can do the same activity at the same pace. One person may break out into a light sweat and the person next to him or her will be drenched.

I am the type of person who will be drenched. Seriously. I sweat more than anyone else I know… .

I’m about 62 hours into a 72 hour fast. Feeling good, it’s important to keep your electrolytes up while fasting, so I add a dash of salt to my black coffee and add 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar, 1/8th teaspoon of Cream if Tartar (potassium) and a healthy dash of salt to my water bottle for sipping throughout the day.

I belong to a Keto Discussion group on Facebook. We talk about whether or not different products are keto friendly, struggles we’ve had on the program, successes, recipes that we like, and similar topics. It’s a good group. We also tell our stories and how we got into the Keto lifestyle. . Last week Larry posted his story, and let me tell you it really struck a chord and is quite inspirational.
