Still awake, for what it has been worth.

Litter was tended, I think?  I'll check in a bit.  Chores, of course.  And I did get the ground meats cooked.  A warm taco salad for lunch... dinner... early dinner... late lunch?  A bit of cheese, spices or herbs, mix and match.  The last batch was spiced hot, if it didn't end up very hot.  Still, it was delicious.  Spices, ground meat mix, cheddar, and romaine lettuce.  It really is quite good, and very keto.

With the meat?  I find the highest calorie ground meat, and use that as the entry into the food app.  That... gives me some wiggle room.  I mean, if it says I ate 250 calories, but I actually ate more like 175, I am avoiding hitting the ceiling.  I do little tricks, on top of the calorie cut for an inactive man.  Even if I can figure out a way to hiking, walking, or such, I... won't add that either.  As well, I round up, in portions... or just add.  Two cups become three... if it is lighter calories.  If it is really calorie dense, like cream, I might add a couple of teaspoons per cup... or such.  Tricks, but it gives me a little breathing room, and forces me to eat more keto friendly foods so that I can still get full.

In time I hope to be more accurate in reporting.  For now, I am, as mentioned, trying to force my way more to keto.  And this seems to work.  Plus, I'm not sure my system manages calories as it should.  In some ways I am not only not active, I am less than that.  My body doesn't burn calories as it should.  Until that changes too, I... like this program.  I really won't starve to death.  This time I am taking the middle path, rather than the lean path.  That may have been a bit too tight, starting out.  This... we will see... but it seems much better.

Oh, kefir, back on the menu.  I really miss that stuff when it is out of circulation for a while.  As mentioned, I am cutting consumption.  It makes my urine a bit acidic.  As well, it was causing a bit of bloat.  Flora and fauna out the... ask me later.  Beautiful stuff though.  Oh, actually, I don't think it was the solid food that got to me that day out.  It was wearing a belt for the first time in... since beginning to consume kefir regularly and heavily?  Yea.  That, mostly, the burger only a bit?  Maybe.  I liked the burger, but between this and that it hit hard.

I am hoping to get a shower, put dishes in, and get some things set up for work tomorrow.  I think I have figured out why the last few days have been a bit tough... after working well recently.  Cold.  It's 20 F out there, right in the afternoon.  The small pool and waterers were frozen rather tightly.  It must have gotten much cooler last night.  Oddly, I slept well and warmly.  Though it's not always the temperature, but also health.  Better now, worse then, not always a rhythm or rhyme to things.

Oh, and trash and recycling.  So much to do, feeling so tired.  Hmm, I think I'll hit trash and recycling first, then a shower?  Then setting up dishes and else.  Well, it's a plan.  Definitely cooler, inside and out.  Good afternoon and day.  Later.
