I achieved ketosis yesterday, for certain. The fast lasted until dinner was made, and I wasn't all that hungry when I got home, truly. And my calves are fasciculating, bless them. Had me launching out of bed last night like a rocket, once - but only once. Other than that, I slept very well. And I'm at 146.0 this morning. So there.
Here's yesterday:
- tea with cream
- the usual supplements
- Big-Ass Salad (tm) with roast beef and feta and Greek vinaigrette
- two almond shortbread cookies
- a Ghirardelli chocolate square
- a handful of potato chips
- two chocolate almonds
By the time I hit the bed, I could tell that cramps were imminent, so had the chips (yeah, that's why!). I don't think they worked all that well. However, once the one cramp hit and was vanquished, I slept like a log until 5:27, so I don't mind much. And of course, now I'm really tired and achy. My shoulder is stiff and tired - I don't know if the exercises are making the muscles being exercised ache, or if they're irritating the ones at the root of the problem, or what, but I wouldn't mind spending a couple of weeks not using my right arm at all. I think Advil is in my future.
Maybe fasting lunch and dinner today, again for convenience; going to my niece's gymnastics meet directly from work. Shouldn't be too much of a burden not to eat. Glad to see 146 again this morning.
