Another new low! Whoop!
My sleep pattern is all out of whack, because I've been getting very tired early in the evening. Last night, I was in bed by 7:30, so of course I'm awake, bright eyed and bushy tailed at 1:30 AM. :P
My sister and brother in law stopped by on their way to Charleston to visit their eldest son, who is working there for 10 days. They asked me to watch their elderly mini-poodle for a couple of days. So I have Wally to walk, and my cats don't know what to think of it all. LOL! Wally is supposedly 'cat friendly', but when my Russian Blue, Twiggy, ventured out yesterday, he got barked at, which made his tail get puffy. Jack, the black one, had a little easier meeting, as he was out of hiding when I came back after walking Wally. I kept him on the leash to make the introduction, and while he growled a bit, didn't bark or lunge. By the evening, Wally and he were sleeping close to me, about 2 feet apart. The cats used to be fine with my dog, but they haven't seen one in over 5 years, so now they're wary of this toothless little old man. Cracks me up!
So yesterday, I was in a frenzied cleaning mode clearing up the place so sis wouldn't think I'm a hoarder. I had understood that they wanted to have a late lunch/early dinner here in town, so I didn't eat. I guess I misunderstood, because after dropping off the dog, they went on to Charleston around 3 PM. I was disappointed, but not really hungry. So I continued my fast, and am in hour 36 right now. I will probably have a protein shake on the way to work this morning, and see how I feel after work.
When I'm strict Keto, hunger just leaves. It's liberating, because I don't have to spend time in the kitchen or thinking about what to make. Maintenance is a lot harder!
Wishing you all a great rest of the week.

Funny about cats and dogs lol. They'll probably be buddies very soon. I love that part about Keto too. Not constantly thinking about food. It's so liberating isn't it? Good job on the impromptu fast!

Maybe the dog's temperament would be better if "cranky old man" dog was on Keto?

Haha, what 184 said. Amazing how much of animal "temperament" and behavior results from what they're fed, rather than inherent traits. Maintaining is hard work!
