okay pity party is over! Thanks for the support yesterday, I was just feeling a little overwhelmed. If it is not bad enough trying to recover from the healthy bone broth and all the painful knots all over my body which will take weeks to fully settle down I got constipated which adds to the mess with back labor type pain.

Since sugar does not effect me, I had a cup of coffee with sugar and my mind brightened and I got a good nights sleep! took care of business this morning too. So definitely feeling lighter though my morning scale reading did not make me happy. see how it is tomarrow to record any true gain.

I am starting back some exercise, I really think I have a good handle on my calorie intake now around 1600 at my current macro's. It stays pretty steady up and down the same pound. I just will have to make sure I don't go under my calories with exercise.

Just for the heck of it I used the last of my keto strips to test the coffee with sugar. I should have tested fasting first without coffee but my reading was 1.6 k and 4.8 g after one hour. 2.5 hours later my ketone was 1.2 and 5g, at 4 hours I think my ketones were being eaten and the reading was .9 k and 4.8 g. still have not figured that out. so pretty much showed me that for me,,,,, a teaspoon of sugar does not knock me out of ketosis. sugar is only a problem for me when combined with other carbs. but I also did not push the envelope to also eat during this time. I would not have been able to tell what changed things.

I have a new game plan and will see how things work. I react to everything I eat at this point and have for this period, it is a matter of eating what I react the least too. What I have learned is chicken and I are not friends, pork is just as bad for me in the reaction department. Beef is the best but it does cause my calf muscles to tighten, coffee somehow opens up the passageways in my legs. weird but true.

I am getting a new order in this week of my safe grassfed products, and I think I will try a few days of lamb to see how this effects my calves and overall sensitivity symptoms. I know I have less reaction to the beef grassfed meat but maybe with lamb I will do better.
