First Post and a Retroactive Menu Plan Update - Keto Day #6

Hey guys! Welcome to the first blog post where I will (mostly) be outlaying my workout plans and strategies, menu plans and strategies, and general thoughts on stuff that no one really cares about anyway.

So... where to start? I guess the name of the blog. Where I thought hard for a LOOOONG 10 seconds and then put something down. Basically, since most of what I post is related to my own personal fitness regimen and how I stop myself from feeling like absolute dog Duke 8 to 11 days a week, this is me, "living". And getting out a five is a pun for getting out alive, since, "No one here gets alive," (Jim Morrison) so the best I can hope for is getting out as a five. That, and salvation through grace. If you believe in that sort of thing. Which I do :)

Today marks the 0 year anniversary of this blog. Celebrate good times, come on! It's also inauguration day for our nation's 45th president. Which is divisible by 9. Which is a multiple of 3. 6 is also a multiple of 3. 6 written out 3 times is 666. Coincidence? I think... yeah, that pretty much defines coincidence.

Oh well, on to the posting. I have not posted a meal since last Friday so I's needs to get a'crackin':

Here are my goals (at least until Thursday):
2950 cals
70% fat
25% protein
