Struggling to find a way off the chair and not succeeding. A rough bit of time. Cannot get going. Couldn't really figure it out, either. So I just kept sitting here. Finally, after enough, and proper, begging, I realized Sassy was hungry. Sam went down, took over my bed and was sleeping like a guiltless cat burglar. Which she is. After feeding, or right before, I looked at the time... almost 11:00. Temp... 70 inside, 66 outside. Really? Good, but, that might explain both Sam and my own lethargy.
I had set a pot of tea up earlier, just never turned it on. I almost filled a second pot of water, luckily checking before it had much water in it. Not as much a problem if you use tap, more of a thing if you use reverse osmosis water. Hate to waste that. Oh, and I didn't boil eggs last night. Why? As I went to do it, it seemed too tempting. I may begin boiling some shortly. Just a dozen... which allows for four eggs on three different days. Which is about how often I eat in a week, give or take. Eggs would make one of two or three meals, or parts of several meals, on my eat days.
I don't think I'll be going with the one meal plan, not up front. Nor will I be doing the partial fasting... unless I do that every other 24-hour period. As is, I believe I will be fasting for 48, eating several meals over six hours, fasting 24 hours and then normal(ish) meals, then the 48 again. At least until blood sugar is sitting at 100, give or take, normally. One fellow suggested that he has his blood sugar down to 60. The one time I did that, dipped just a bit below, I... that is one of the times in my life where I clearly saw death. I was on too much insulin, doctor ordered of course. Things are different, and getting much more different, but I have no plans of allowing my insulin to drop anywhere near 60. Things change, with evidence and this or that. But from my experience, that is just damned dangerous.
If 48 hour fasting proves too much, or when I reach the 100 blood sugar, I may then change the pace. Instead of 48 hour fasting every other, 24 hour the remaining, I may simply change to 24 hour fasting. I know, that isn't exactly what it is, not with an eating window and several meals in that window... but it's close enough. The 24 hour fasting might be, sort of, a permanent thing. As to one meal a day? I just don't know if, or when, that might fit in. If I go to 24 hour fasting, and things look to be slipping just a bit, that might be a consideration. There are options. If you can do the heavy lifting, then the lighter lifting can be negotiated in it's due time.
I may begin the eggs now. I think it's close enough. I can avoid eating until meal time, at this point. And, if I happened to fail it would be a smaller deviation. I'm feeling pretty sure though, so... Eggs are tasty, and more so with eggs. As for dressing? I have been looking for other recipes. Much of what is in the store is filled with sugar and vegetable oils... both of which truly are nasty. Homemade mayonnaise is a perfect base for many other homemade dressings. Dressings, when done right, are just fats... which are perfect foods for someone who it attempting to become a fat burner, rather than a carb burner. Ah... video recipes. (If you want to skip the preaching about unhealthy fats (because you love them, use them, don't care... whatevs... skip to 4:44 in the video). Now, ranch, or whatever else. My thinking is that homemade mayo really can be turned into almost any dressing with a few ingredients and imagination. Some that are high-sugar, though, probably shouldn't be emulated, innit? Yeah? Sheesh. I'm thinking blue cheese, ranch as shown (though I'm not sure that looks like ranch dressing to me), and some other things. Blending in veggies, olives, and such too... for dips that are made with good fats, etc.
Maybe he did it okay. I may just be sexist? And why, after the next vid, does playing with my food seem so... probable... and wrong? :p
On to eggs. Later.
