Day 61-65, I am still on it, just massively short on time.

I have been really short of time and not been able to update my blog, I am disappointed by this but despite being unwell and then really busy I have managed to stay low carb (not ketogenic)  and not implode, binging on carbs, having less energy and spiralling out of control.

Day 61

Had an upset tummy after breakfast, I was concerned as we were going away for the weekend and I was meant to be biking. All was fine had a really good time MTB, only fell off twice but no injuries and a good eve after.

Glucose    5.9
Ketone      0.3
Breakfast  Coffee, yogurt MCT, almond butter
Lunch       Pork scratches
Dinner      Chicken green curry, cauliflower curry, yogurt MCT, almond butter, wine and vodka soda
Ride          3 hour mtb, really good run

Day 62

Again had an upset tummy after breakfast and really did not feel that well. Went back to bed for a 2 hour sleep and did not really want to eat lunch. Left late afternoon and after a light tea when to bed.

Glucose    Strips got damp
Ketone      Strips got damp
Breakfast  Sausage, bacon & egg.
Lunch       Little ham, cheese
Dinner      Yogurt, almond butter, nuts and seeds

Day 63

Still bit groggy after my nights sleep, not up to biking. Had a full on day and was knackered by the time I got home, dinner and bed.

Glucose    5.0
Ketone     0.4
Breakfast  Sausages
Lunch       Prawn cocktail, salad, scratching
Dinner      Chicken, CM, courgette, sugar free chocolate


Day 64    

Felt much better after a pretty good nights sleep, felt like riding, ketones lower again probably due to sweetener chocolate. Cycle was pretty hard particularly the windy way home.

Glucose    5.4
Ketone     0.2
Breakfast  Sausages
Lunch       Chicken, coleslaw, haloumi
Dinner      Cabbage, courgette, mackerel, cheese, yogurt, almond butter
Ride          42k commute pretty windy on way home

Day 65  

After my exercise and better food, ketones rising, I was tired yesterday after hard ride home but felt ok in the morning so thought I would cycle but take it easy. That did not work out so well, tail wind on way in made me enjoy pushing and head wind on way home meant I had little choice.

I had some notion of fasting today but though it was unlikely, but as the day passed I managed not to eat. I just needed to get through the evening, I cracked and ate a little but not too much. Still 24 hour fast with a little broth and butter, 2 hours riding, hopefully should be ketone charged tomorrow.

I suspect I need to take it a bit easier for a ride or two as I pushed quite hard last 2 days in places. My legs have been feeling a little smother again after the 10 days off.

Glucose    5.4
Ketone     0.6
Breakfast Coffee, broth, butter
Lunch      Broth, butter
Dinner     Broth, butter, almonds, scratchings
Ride        42k commute slightly less windy on way home
