I ended my fast the afternoon of day 7. It was moving day at work, and I burned a lot of calories throughout the week, moving stuff from my old cube to my new and to the recycle piles, My tank hit empty by around 3p Thursday. Honey had sent me with eggs, bacon, and other keto-friendly snacks. I added avocado mayo to make some rudimentary egg “salad” that was gloriously fatty. I drank one last soda I had in the fridge, which in hindsight I wouldn’t have done. Before I left my cube for the weekend I also ate the snack size snickers that had sat there for days. Once the sugar beat gets fed, it’s hard to stop. But I steered clear of the vending machine, and I ate heartily enough on eggs and bacon to make me full the rest of the day.
I continued to eat fat/protein on Friday, though probably too much protein. epic bars, jerky, bacon, parmesan crisps. I intermittent fasted until after noon. Ditto on Saturday, when we went to Rasselbock biergarten and I kept it keto, eating sausage, sauerkraut and purple cabbage, and eggs. the evening I had some chili we’d had in the freezer for a few months.
I woke up today feeling horrid. I ended up going back to sleep and woke up at 8pm, feeling much better. My system has been clearing itself out. I decided when I woke this morning that I’d be fasting today, so I’m more than 24 hours in. my morning blood sugar wasn’t bad – 101.
I’d hit a low of 453 on Thursday (25 pounds down from start). I gained 5 when I weighed in friday, and another pound on Saturday. I didn’t weigh today. But, I did a lot of pooping today, so I’m curious to see what the scale says Monday.
My next group session is Tuesday morning.
