Two days down.

.
.
Three?  Lots of sleep.  Trying to wake twice a day for food, water, and medicine, for what good the last is doing.  Though, I suppose, it could be worse otherwise.  However, the medicine isn't reducing my blood pressure as much as it should.  Keeping it in the 150-160/90-110 ranges, in spite of taking larger doses than should be indicated, double to triple the usual doses per reading.  I don't think the waterpills are working either.  I am at 224, last time I weighed.  Which is up fourteen pounds in spite of very few calories or water in.  Oddly, I sure seem to pee a lot?

I'll keep at it.  I may switch some things up.  Trying, for example, to drink plain carbonated water instead of flavored.  And reducing how much bread I eat.  I ate a bit more, with the experiment.  But, too, it isn't causing problems.  I don't think it would be the weight issue.  I think I had gained the weight before starting bread.  Mother says my color is better, after finally resting and sleeping so much more.  I... was getting into trouble there for a bit.  Feeling better.  If more sleep would yet be good.

Oh, but I am liking the bread more as I go.  Mom, now, wants to make a bread, a cheese jalaeno?  I said I wouldn't eat it.  She said it is keto.  The thing is, I am trying to go sourdough.  For a bunch of reasons.  She just doesn't get that keto, alone, isn't enough given my condition.  Which is why I went carnivore and lean more heavily that way.  Sourdough is a possible very precise exception, as was... is... the sprouted grain and seed breads I currently buy and use otherwise.  I did try other keto breads, but the flavors were off, they used seed oils and other trash, and sometimes weten't good at maintaining blood sugar levels.

If she wants to make something, how about keto tortillas, with the keto flour I just formulated, probably with tallow instead of lard.  Lard, if done right, and with leaf not general hog fat, is good.  But finding good tallow is far easier than finding good lard.  And the truly rare good lard is far spendier, oddly.

Raining.  Maybe to turn yet to snow, even in the valley down here?  Maybe.  It was raining just a bit ago.  So if we are to get snow it had better get to it.  It couldn't last, if it comes, or even sticks then.  Still, it would be nice to see a final snow for the year.

On to coffee, cheese, toast, and medicine.  Oh, and too to make sure the windows are up in the vehicle.  Ugh.  Later.
