It is freezing!

I have the furnace up, somewhere between old people heat and really old people hot.  And I am still cold.  Yes, dressed warmly.  Drinking hot drink after hot drink.  It seems to be really cold out.  No wind, just... cold.  Or, no wind last time I checked.  I really don't want to take fresh waterers out to the rabbits, but I... will.  Though I may take a shower, see if that helps.

I did get most of the chicken down.  I left a decent little bit for Sam, but really got enough to call it good.  And I ate within the four hour window.  Five hour?  I... can't be sure, now, but I thought I got it in the four hour window.  The way to do that, in the future, is to eat a heavy half first thing.  Though, breaking fast with a large meal can be difficult too.

Cutting cream, quite a bit, really makes the fats easier to limit.  That is one part of it.  But getting the protein in is brutal.  Now I get why people don't eat enough protein.  For an average person (150 pounds, give or take), that is 30 to 50 protein a meal, just to maintain muscle.  Not powerlifting type, or body building.  Those guys are hitting 300 grams of protein, as a starter, at that level.  If you aren't eating that much protein, you are losing muscle mass.  You definitely can't build, but you can't even maintain.  Some things make sense now.

This is, probably, the best day for a higher protein version of keto so far.  Fats were closer to the cutoff than hoped, but under... 88.7% of max.  As with carbs, at this point, the task is to limit fats rather than maximize.  With carbs, I went over the 30 mark by 3.9, but more than half of those are solid fibers.  I'm good with that.  Would like to cut just a bit, but that shouldn't be a problem.  For protein, at weight loss but maintenance levels, I got 111% of my goal.  And, to be honest, I want more like 132% on up to 176% of my goal.  For protein, I want overages.  It's... just... currently... eating that much protein is problematic.  Even knowing sources for it, quite yet... I just don't.  Well, other than 10 chicken drumsticks!  Ugh.  

Still, not bad, at 32 calorie under the max.  Now, I do try to hit that as close to on the nose as possible.  When I don't, I get hungry in a mean and nasty way, and may go on a binge.  There is only so much I can deprive, and I am right on that line.  I may yet have half a tablespoon of milk with some hot tea, to cover that gap.  It will add fats, but... I don't want that hunger thing to attack.  Or I may not.  It's... probably close enough.

Blood sugar is 98.  Good enough.  I did dose with dinner, because of the potato.  Well, that is it for starches, sugars, and sweet carbs for the week.  Two such meals a week, maybe three.  The rest have to be fiber, veggies, or other righter carbs.  I used to not count veggies, but... no, I need to know what it is I am eating, down to the gram nearly.  Gotta count everything, even if you allow some things to pass.

Well... on to something.  I may well be to bed early tonight.  I'd like to get the bins in, get a shower, and then feed rabbits and cats.  Actually, I'll give the girls treats, right now.  Bring the bins in.  Then shower.  After watering the rabbits, I'll give them a can of food.  Then... begin heading to bed.  Later, or goodnight.
