Rough second day.

The hunger pangs weren’t intolerable, but the day made things BAD.   Managed 10 hour workday, dealing with a grumpy gate controller (still not fixed! dangit!) and most of that in the sun.   Drinking mad water and took to pinches of salt to help keep the electrolytes up: still had a pounding headache on the return to shop.  

That makes for a muddle-headed day, and today I needed the clear head.      So I ended up cheating a little: one of those little Mexican Coca-colas and some hard salami.   May have equaled 200 calories total, but man, the effect that had on my headache was amazing.

home: scale shows I shed 2 pounds since this AM.   I’m not going to call that ‘fixed’ or good, as that may have been water weight, and I had been doing some sweating.   BUT, every little bit counts, right?   That headache thing may have been hydration, though I kinda doubt it.   I drank 4 large bottles (48 oz) through the day, but I have never done a fast before so I can’t say for certain HOW MUCH water you burn through when you go into ketosis.   (and I was,   funky breath told me so.)

So, yah, I cheated, but the small amount I ate will digest fast, and I’ll be back in fasting mode before I go to bed.    Keep rolling on.  

I picked on hell of a week to stop eating,,,    (even temporarily).   

More laters,,,   Haven’t had time to catch up on the day in the world.   More like catching up here at home and with SIs, which is FAR MORE IMPORTANT that a bunch of poly-tickians.

added note: My new batteries for the house will be here tomorrow.   I may not post till way late, if at all tomorrow.
