Today we launched my Instagram page. At first I was disappointed that I didn’t get any comments on my first post, but then my manager told me that our goal for today was followers, and I got several new followers today so I feel better about that. I also dropped off the paperwork to the county office today to register my business name.
As for training, I lifted and it was back day. Then I did an hour on the StairMaster. I also dyed my roots back to reddish-brown because it looked like chalk had been spilled on my part with all the grey hairs- ugh. When I got home from running errands, I promptly fell asleep on the couch. That was a bit surprising. I usually only fall asleep if the workout is brutal or if I had sugar, which is why I don’t eat sugar much. Of course my daughters and trainer say I don’t get enough sleep so maybe that’s it.
I’m feeling very sore today from leg day yesterday. Also, I realized I did not have any electrolytes yet and it is 2pm–that is not good, actually it’s worse than that, it’s stupid of me.
For my meals so far, I’ve had: keto cereal, 1 egg, and pre-workout before working out. After I got home, I had salmon and coffee and three strawberries with chocolate hummus. Before going downtown, I made 6 eggs (2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites) but in my house we always joke that the best food is whatever I am eating, because my daughter loves to sample my food. She ate half my eggs…
When I woke up from my surprise nap, I had cauliflower fried rice (with chicken), which we have perfected so it actually tastes like regular fried rice.
And for years I have tracked my protein intake as per ketogains. Now I write all the meal macros on a chalkboard so I can track all of it. Unfortunately I am only at 88g protein and 38g fats. My protein is far too low.
I just realized I have to go back to work tomorrow so I should pack lunches for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Most days I drink one protein shake. My trainer says I need to try to only eat food as it has more nutrients that I need but, honestly, some days it’s near impossible because I just don’t want all the food I’m supposed to eat.
For those of you who might be triggered by this or have had issues with food in the past, I want to be sensitive. I have spent years listening to my body and learning to respect when it does and does not want to eat. It took a long time to learn this. This is a different situation because it’s for a set period of time and for a specific purpose. This is not a way of living, this is getting competition ready.
Keto is my way of life and it has flexibility. With Keto I learned why and how my body was fighting against myself. I also learned how I was contributing to that.
If you don’t have flexibility in your eating, don’t know where to begin or you don’t know how to make Keto flexible but beneficial, then contact me and let’s talk!
