36 hours deep into a fast. My first fast in months. I can't believe I went all summer without one - I have been frustrated and stuck for so long at the same weight - this is the best way to start over. That, and a busted tooth (and a warning from the dentist to be careful with foods since I can get a crown until a week from now). Funny how mouth pain and limited food choices makes it really easy to choose not to eat!
I have been tempted recently and not doing what I should. I actually considered stopping for french fries the other day. This is a side effect of eating chips and salsa, queso, and guacamole on several occasions in the past month. And drinking, too. I have been drinking 1-2 times a week as my summer devolved into (not managing) the stress of facing layoffs caused by an industry downturn. I knew I wasn't going to get laid off, but several people I know did get laid off and that makes me feel bad. Funny how my excuses lead to me justifying my derailing. Sigh. Old habits die hard.
So, fresh start. I finally ordered a ketone meter so that I can get some real time data to gauge how I am doing. I have clung to the premise that eating the proper macros should deliver the proper ketone levels, but 4 months of plateau tells me I am getting something wrong. Based on my result, I may have to start measuring and recording again. I don't really want to - but I will do what I must. I am obviously not doing something right...
