Positive affirmation statements are bullshit. That doesn’t mean you should be negative and think the worse because that’ll screw you over just as bad as believing that repeating a phrase and imagining yourself accomplishing this goal will.

The Great Aerobic Ketogenic Experiment, Week Six is in the books! This will be the final week I evaluate the experiment in such detail. I plan to continue tacking my progress daily, and will start providing monthly updates. It’s a lot of work to track all of these stats, and now that I have a strong baseline,…
