A bit of everything.

.
.
Chores, to laundry, dishes to feeding the cats, little bits of extra here and there.  Not fast, not a lot at once, but... something now and then.  And a few things arrived.

Getting into keto takes a bit of practice, money, experience, data, and trial and error.  I ordered a few items, in order to cook or snack better.  I do have a plentitude of various nuts, but those aren't a daily thing.  And the volume is limited.  Still, those are a start, for when I get hangry in a hurry.  Otherwise I stupid eat.  Anything easy and ugly, as long as it is fast, and sometimes warm.  This time, kalamata olives.  A big jar of them, actually from Greece.

I am sampling a first go at them.  Yes, I chose well.  I haven't, yet, portioned out a serving by mass.  I need to do that, as with nuts.  Perhaps get an eyeball on general volume too.  I try to measure things out, to know a serving size.  Which... I then sample for a while.  I know, however, that "serving size" is... or last I heard... was based on the modern "dietary" needs of a 53 year old, 120 pound, post-menopausal woman.  Which... means... it has absolutely nothing to do with a middle aged man at 6'5" plus at 280 pounds.  Hmm...

Anyway, it is a starting place.  I then consider calories, my diet wants and needs, my preferences, and come up with a portion that is more realistic.  Then I begin scaling that and getting an eye spot for that portion, then... after a bit... I just eyeball it.  Sometimes higher, sometimes lower, depending on perceived needs.  Though, I think, from now on, if I seem sated?  I'll either put the remnants up for later, put them back (like for nuts), or toss them.  I need to stop that grazing instinct.  I'm not a sheep or bull.

On to a bit more work.  I really think I might end up with dishes (those loaded) done, laundry through to being dried, the vacuum upstairs and maybe a bit of that cleared, and a few other things.  So much to do.  It has, again, started being done.  Perhaps tearing down boxes tonight, and getting some ready to go just as is.  And, again, looking for bailing wire.  I hate to buy more, being sure there is a lot of it around somewhere.  Still, if I can't find it by the time I am out next time, I will have to buy some.  Later.
