I don't remember when I went to bed. It was enough after sunup to let the quackles out. No sign of the little one. I checked through the night as well. Hopefully she holed up somewhere and could stay warm enough. I will know tonight, when they go in. If alive and well, she will almost certainly be with the others. Losses will happen.
I think excess fluid removal, mostly, helped. I do need to sort electrolyte replacement, mineral replacement, and salt replacement. Though salt may act as a temporary electrolyte and mineral replacement? Still, do need salt too. Everything and the kitchen sink went with the flood. But the water was killing me. I do notice, being low on salt, minerals, and probably more electrolytes, I am much more susceptible to the heat and even mild exercise. As well, muscle cramps can be murder.
I hope to try another smash burger tonight. Smaller, and if I can find my kitchen scale, and it is functioning, and with a good battery... unless I can find the mechanical one (or both), I may begin weighing food, as well in prep for the food logger app. Initially I won't limit, I will just learn. In time I will begin adjusting. If, as real engineers know, observation has affects. Still, for the most part, the initial observations are for understanding. From that will eventually come the real change.
Oh, my recommended macros etc. is, for a 20% reduction weight loss program... 1966 kcal, 25 carbs (more due to stock size), 113 to 187 protein (depending on activity level that day), and up to 145 g of fat. Yes, that IS ~490 kcal LESS than weight maintenance. T'is good to be jolly! Okay, already a few things learned, such as variable protein based on activity, carbs and fats as maximums (once fat burning adjusted), and even calories as a max, not a goal. Best to shy that a bit, if or when possible, so if still hungry, fats can be added. Though, if I have to do excess calories, use fats to cheat. Hmm? Watch.
She reminds me of a cousin, Romain... I'm probably not spelling her name right. Ah, she was... usually... a forgiving girl. Usually. Anyway... :p Well remembered.
A different keto dough will be tried. Fathead, or a mix of coconut and almond flours. If I find a better hamburger bun, I'd bet that would also work as a hotdog or brot bun. Hamburgers are more difficult to serve, of the three. Oh, the coleslaw was still to bitter, fiery, so I tossed it and the rest of that head. Inedible.
I had hoped to shop online, set up groceries, but that isn't possible with the debit card down. I refuse credit cards, at the rates. A bet no one can win. Pride goes before the fall. So I just have to go in, or wait. I don't buy meats, fresh fruits, or fresh vegetables online anyway. I don't trust the "professional" shoppers. Still, it could cut shopping trips in half.
As mentioned, feeling much better. A trim and shower shortly, dishes, the rest of them... not many... Perhaps the bathroom, some cooking, the ducks' hutch reset for their happy return, and perhaps counters and laundry. Hmm, actually, I'll set a load of laundry for after the shower.
Fasting and intermittent fasting are coming up. But first, back into ketosis at full fat burning adjustment, THEN intermittent fasting, THEN fasting for several days, but no more than three. Everything builds, one thing on another. Not just prepping, but keto? Yea, I'm thinking I'm back. But, I realize now, keto will not fix diabetes, or not this time. So... so it goes.
It should be a wonderful, eventful, successful, night! Later.
Mineral and salt replacement can be a booger. My own daily medical regimen includes potassium and sodium supplements, and my sodium levels still end up a bit wonky every time I have blood work done.
ReplyDeletePotassium here, is often a problem. Oh, I recently got rid of my stock, but if you are feeling mineral and salt deficiency? I.E. dehydration? Pickle juice. It may not put the exact stuff back, but it replaces everything missing with something, and... dusts that grale with new powerful spit. It even gets rid of my heat/dehydration headaches quickly, were painkillers can't. I've said it before, I'll keep saying it.
ReplyDeleteAfter drinking a pint to quart of pickle juice, about what is needed in a bind, then any real stuff, potassium, zinc, magnesium, when taken, all absorb much better and faster. Oh, right. Picking up shopping list... two half gallon jars of pickles, two smaller jars. Some for the pantry, some for the fridge, various sizes for different needs. Good keto snacks, if you have the chips for vinegar.
I've been hearing of pickle juice practically everywhere I go now, and am seriously considering trying it.
ReplyDeleteIt's... not that difficult. :p AND? If the juice doesn't work as adverted, you still have the pickles! Yeah?!?
