So late.

.
.
Had meant to be to bed by 22:30 or so.  Here it is, 02:01, as I sit and right.  Ah, it's still 77 up front.  If in part because I am still here, the computer is on, and the router is pumping out heat.  Oh, it's not uncomfortable.  It's pleasant, really.  And about as warm as it has been since... noon?  Or... whenever I woke up anyway, give or take.  Maybe not immediately, but... before long.

Steak, fatted coffees, and water.  But... it doesn't seem to be working.  So I went looking for a meal tracker.  I found one I am going to try.  They tried to force me to sign up.  Which I wasn't going to do.  At $40 a year?  For an app that really doesn't do that much, other than spy?  Something I could do with pen and paper?  No.

As a fact, I only plan to use it until, and as I learn to, log it on paper.  But, to clean up the edges, the idea is to measure things exactly.  How much cream?  Use a measuring cup.  Or even weigh it?  No, I'll just use a 3/4 cup, and use that.  As for meats, I'll weigh them, then cut them in half... practicing cutting them more and more exactly.  Can't be perfect, but can probably get to within an ounce of half.

Blood sugar is anywhere from the low 130s to as high as 170 (if... that was fruit most likely).  Hoping the fast will bring it down.  And, maybe some roof work, work on the dishwasher enclosure, and some other minor chores that need doing.  Work helps, being outdoors often helps on it's own (hot, cold, or good temps).  Fasting really helps, usually.  If the cream is proving to be a problem, I might have to try other cream?  Dunno.  Will see.

Exact measurements.  And, weighing every day.  It isn't weight, though there is that.  It is also blood sugar.  It is sticking a bit high.  As well, while I will have one sweetened fatted coffee a day, with the keto sweeteners, I will only have one.  That works.  I think I simply been pushing it.  As well, I may even cut that out, or try, whole.

Though, for the next few days, I will be water fasting.  Only adding electrolytes, and maybe a fatted coffee, if more with a quarter cup of cream allowed a day.  Unless that truly breaks me.  I'll... figure it out, see in time.

Anyway, on to bed.  I'll set the alarms for eight and ten.  Hoping to be up by ten.  And, if it is still cool enough, possibly get out and onto one of the roof sections.  I have three that will need some work.  But it really is light work.  And the angles are very shallow.  It's more moving the ladder over, and maybe around.  And... if it is cool enough.  I simply won't, probably, get up there if it is already 90 or more.  If so, I'll have to push at getting up earlier.  Which I don't mind.  Push, push, push, shove, go!

Yes, but it is bedtime.  Goodnight.

  1. Ran into serious no appetite, going into work. Past experience forced me to eat something (even vending machine carp.) Didn't get any nausea till the drive home. Since it seems mild so far will try heading it off with soda water before doing bitters.
    Have a 2-4# frozen mystery red meat "roast?" unlabeled vacuum sealed. And a Salmon fillet (looks 2-4 servings) thawing now. Will probably make do with something canned today and start alternating beef and fish for as long as I trust it.
    Dogs are loving the cheaper cuts of beef (Fat/ gristle, etc) I'll share what I don't want to chew for a half hour.

  2. If it was cooler out I'd slap the beef in the slow cooker & cook till falling apart ,shredded beef for tacos, burritos, salads, heck just greasy shredded beef alone with hot pepper. And that would make a good au'jus on its own.

  3. I've tried that. But for me, it never seems to work. It either becomes so dry it doesn't do, or it never cooks well enough? It couldn't be technique? I thought it was supposed to be easy. Perhaps a more exacting time thing? Dunno. Any hints or tips you might think could help? All ears, save for the rest of me. :p

    I have a place where I could put that on, if I chose to do that, even in warmer weather. Which wouldn't bother me. Not sure I have a roast, though... just... thinking. I'd really like to figure out pulled beef. I have quit on pork, since going carnivore. I just... can't do it. Never could do pulled pork right either, though, too.
