Daily meditation & breath work. Building relationships in the keto community & maintaining contact in several small but intimate online groups where we share our blood results, food tracking, and fast & perform challenges together. In addition, running my Facebook group and focusing on YouTube helps keep me engaged and motivated.

I use Cronometer for food, Keto-Mojo for blood, and a biometrics scale for body stats. All data is entered in Excel to track progress & record exercise. I love to view trends over time and learn what works best.
