Just a journal for my Keto experience and fitness journey. |
| This is it, page one on my journey through Keto and fitness. I tried blogging in the fitness/diet site but it's difficult to link to and they do not have the formating and editing qualities found here. Since I'm just setting this up, and want to share the link with others outside of WdC, this is merely an introduction to my journey and the items I blogged over there. |
| That's what my calorie log stated after I entered everything for the day. I was too low on calories. How? I don't think I could eat anymore if I tried, I'm full! I know, I could have eaten more at breakfast. But, I was still feeling full from dinner yesterday, and it's hard to eat when you're not hungry. Besides, I'm not much of a breakfast person anyway; I have seldom been able to eat right after I get up. Usually, by lunchtime, I'm getting hungry. Not ravished, but a bit of an appetite. But today, I just wasn't feeling hungry; I had no desire to eat. So Rhonda and I went shopping for some different things, including grocery shopping. Most of the time, if we are going shopping for food, we eat first to prevent buying a lot of junk foods. But, even as we browsed through the grocery aisles, I didn't feel compelled to buy anything other than what was on our list. Only by the time we left the store and began our drive home did I start to feel a need to eat. I joking told Rhonda we should stop for Chinese but in truth, I was looking forward to our planned dinner. Once home, Rhonda began fixing your Cheesy Veggie Soup and as the smell filled the house, I found myself getting hungrier. By the time it was ready, I took a portion of each food and enjoyed it. I could have stopped there, I wasn't really full, but I was satisfied. However, I knew I needed more calories so I went back for seconds and took another portion of both the soup and the meat. I barely finished it and if I ate more, I knew I would be full to the point of being miserable. Now, about four hours later, I'm still feeling full, but I need more calories. I'm doing good on my macro-nutrients and my Keto is balanced very well, but I'm short over a thousand calories! Most days it's just a few hundred I'm shy. With so low an intake of calories, you would think I would be tired, hungry all the time, and feeling the effects. But it's just the opposite, I'm feeling good, I'm sleeping better, I have more energy, and I'm losing weight, but not super quickly. I dropped two pounds over the last week, and am down nine pounds since the beginning of the year.  "Reading soothes the soul, writing sets it free." T.J. |
