Day 39, Bunk beds

I was on late US shift again today so I could have a lie in but of course wide awake from 04.00, I still probably had a better night's sleep than Lucy who spent it bed with one of the girls. Glucose: 4.4 Ketones:  1.7 Breakfast:  Yogurt MCT, almond butter LC granola Mid Morn: Coffee, butter Lunch:        Pork, CF Mash cheese Lunch 2:     1/2 Pork, CF Mash cheese Dinner:       1/2 Pork, CF Mash cheese Ride:          Rest I was hungry from when I woke at 04.00, I should have gone and got something to eat, it may well of helped me sleep, as it was I struggled to get comfortable with my neck. I managed to doze a bit but by then it was pretty much 07.00 and Emilia was up saying hello. Shortly afterwards I went and got my breakfast but it didn't really satisfy me. I have not really been feeling very satisfied recently and I think I am having more food. Maybe I need to increase my fat again and one of my best ways seems to be with butter in broth. By mid morning I still felt hungry and a bit blaa, not really sure how to describe it. Despite talking about the negative effects of coffee I had a single espresso with a knob of butter. It gave me a pick me up and I go on with my tasks. The girls bunkbeds have arrived, they have been counting down the days for a month, I now have the task of assembling the Argos flat pack. To be honest I don't really mind making flat pack especially if I have an electric screwdriver. Fortunately they arrived whilst I was at Sainsbury's and lucy got the delivery men to take them upstairs, I didn't fancy that task with my cricked neck. I managed to unpack them and start the build before having to leave to work, it should be easy to finish them tomorrow, all ready for bedtime. On the way to work I hunted down Luke who has certainly helped with the neck, hopefully a good sleep will help some more. Once I got to work my hunger persisted, my first portion of lunch did not fill me so after an hour I ate again. This time halfway through I felt full, I stopped eating and kept the rest for later. This has been the first time in a few days I felt properly full and satisfied, maybe it was all the cheese I added. I had the rest later in the evening and continued to feel content. Working late again this evening but getting the train home, I would like to get the beds finished but I may have to wait until tomorrow by the time I get home. I am meeting JamesS for a ride, so no doubt I will be able to sleep in when I need to get up. Unfortunately Simon is having a buckle straightened out of his rear wheel so he can't make it. Bob put a really strong solo 160k ride in today, great effort, JamesS and I would like to try and get 100k in tomorrow with a few hills. The weather has been very changeable recently but in the last few hours the weather forecast for the morning looks pretty good. Hopefully my pace and endurance will have improved, I don't want to have a repeat of 3 weeks ago.
