Day 3 Headache's attack

I had good "beers" with Ed, sticking to a few vodka sodas, I did not feel I was missing out. It was a good evening and you realise how easy it is for life to pass you by and only see someone a couple of times a year when they only live a few miles away.

When I came home I went to bed, my headache had started to kick in again and this got worse all night. I was also absolutely freezing, unlike me, so had to put on extra clothes. Then suddenly at 4am just as my little one got in our bed I got warm again.

Sugar 4.3
Ketone 1.2
Weight 81.4

I know alcohol can pause ketosis so I do wonder if my coldness was due to lack of all fuels (except the small amount of alcohol) then in the middle of the night my ketones picked up again making me warm? 
My ketones are down on yesterday but I had eaten lunch, drunk alcohol and not exercised, still not bad after 2 days. My hunger is already suppressed.

I have lost 3kg, clearly the majority of this will be water and with this is the rapid loss of salts hence the headaches, but the broth and salts have definitely been helping.

Broth with some butter, MCT oil and salts for breakfast. Out for a ride and off to work (working US hours today). My headache eased off again, so hopefully over the worst. 

My ride was quite eventful so I have written a separate entry for it.
