Slow.

I just can't get going.  I had a pork roast and cabbage breakfast.  Nothing fancy, but it isn't at all bad.  I cut the amount of pork to about five ounces.  Less meat means more cabbage.  Two tabs of butter makes it all good.  For lunch, just a salad.  I do alright making my own italian dressing.  Next time I will make a balsamic vinaigrette.  As well, I counted a fatted coffee I haven't had yet.  Even with all of that, I haven't used 655 calories.  Meaning I have over a thousand calories for the rest of the day.

It has surprised me that I can live on less, a lot less, than recommended.  If, too, I think living on too little is not a good thing.  As well, I am impressed how quickly a k of calories can be consumed.  A few ribs, a steak, lots of things, and not all that much of it.  The problem is, I really like thicker steaks!  I suppose I could get them thicker, but portion them into thirds?  That might really do okay.  If I can find them on a serious sale.  Which I did recently, so got a few.

I haven't messed with dishes yet.  I am hoping to get on them shortly.  It would be super to have them finished, before the new week starts.  And to have more counters done.  Laundry is good.  Now to get to dishes, the bathroom, and the kitchen.  Those had been sitting for a while.  The smell was something awful.  With trash out, laundry done, and dishes being squared, it will begin to smell a lot better in here.  Yes, I'd best finish dishes... at least get them all a single wash.  Though, finishing them would be vastly better.

It's still cool, 72 main and front room.  It is 87 outdoors, with a solid wind to the south.  I'd bet eight to ten mph, or more.  I may go out and sit, watch the ducks, quietly pray a bit, and warm up.  Just a bit.  I'll bet Sam would go out with me too.  It's here favorite weather, and season.  But she is getting older, perhaps fears the ducks?  She may not even go out with me, but... maybe.

Oh, I had pork with the cabbage last night too.  I was afraid I went over the limit.  I was under, if just by ~62 or so.  Still, I was pleased that I hadn't gone over.  I was so hungry.  The hunger remains today.  But a smaller portion of meat, and cabbage and romaine lettuce as filler, and it's... better.  Still, that edge of hunger... it lingers.  I'll have to explore other ways of handling hunger.  Then again, I am already eating a weight loss caloric diet.  So hitting the numbers isn't awful.  And may be required.  More will be required to get to ketosis... fats...

A very good week for fasting.  Not a great week for work, but not bad given some givens.  Life is beginning to move ahead again.  If I could lose forty, perhaps more depending on appearances, then begin to work out a bit?  If I could do more, perhaps repairs and events, hiking to skiing, getting to church, perhaps taking in live acting theater from time to time?  Life is good, but you have to be able, then willing, to go take part in it.  I have been limited in both departments.  We will see.

Later.
