Day 30, Lying back and moving forward

Good morning! Last night my cricked neck was an issue so I forced myself to sleep on my back. Normally I sleep on my side, continually moving from one side to the other and interrupting my sleep. I have tried in the past to retrain myself to sleep on my back and I have only managed to achieve this when I have been suffering with one of my many ski/MTB injuries when I have basically been unable to move.
I had a good night's sleep, still waking in the early hours but then getting back to sleep. Emilia ended up in our bed but she was fairly quiet and Lucy ended up in Thomasina's bed kindly keeping me from having to share with 3 others. In addition I was going back to the Chiro this morning so I could have a lie in. I didn't sleep much past my normal wake time but it was still good to rest. I feel heaps better and there has been no change in my bloods, they have been pretty constant for the last 3 days.

Glucose:    5.1
Ketone:      0.8
Breakfast:  10ml coconut oil
Lunch:        Byron Burger bun less with cheese and bacon, coleslaw
Dinner:       Cualiflower mash, cone cabbage, chciken, butter, cheese and a few nuts, broth
Ride:           42 km commute

Leaving home an hour later it was just about getting light but the mist/fog was as think as i have seen it in Richmond Park, it was a real effort to see the road. This thinned as I got onto the main roads but was replaced with heavy traffic and lots & lots of these pesky bikes, my commute is normally so much quieter.
The first part of the ride was cold and not much fun, but after I stopped to see the chiro my legs felt pretty good, I felt I could push a little harder. I am looking forward to my longer ride tomorrow, neck permitting.

Cortisol, cravings, coffee. I mentioned coffee a few days ago and it possible effect on increasing cravings. Today I had an extremely stressful day and I could feel as my stress levels rose so did my cravings for chocolate and carbs. When I am non-keto I would definitely stress eat and turn to the chocolate, as a treat, a crutch, a boost, a break, conditioning or maybe it was more hormonal. Either way it was interesting that I could feel that draw today, but today I could feel it for what it was and I was not tempted. However does coffee's effect of cortisol trigger the same desire, it would appear for me it does.

My commute home as good, starting to feel a bit more solid after a 10-15 warm up. I still have some way to go but my legs felt better despite a "low" blood ketone level, more on this tomorrow.
