So, it has been a few weeks since I checked in with my T25 progress and Ketogenic Diet updates. I'm happy to report I AM STILL on track to finish T25 this week, as I also celebrate my one-month-anniversary on the Keto Diet!! Week 1 & 2 of the Keto Diet, my energy was down. I was so tired. I could not successfully keep up with just T25. Where I was adding treadmill or weight time after T25 some days pre-Keto, I just did NOT have the stamina to do it.
