Day 16

This morning I decided again to not do a workout. (I have forgotten to set my alarm back to 4:30. It's still at 5:30 from the weekend.... I'll take care of that right now. Good to go.) I didn't stress about not having time to do things and enjoyed the morning again. I still need to work on not rushing out the door though. I had my water for my drive to work which replaced my normal habit of drinking my Shakeology and that worked out well. I don't remember having urges to eat anything before noon, but I was ready to have my eggs and sunflower seeds snack. I find that if I think I'm hungry, or I feel tired, if I drink some water, it makes me feel better.

Afternoon: I took my lunch at 2 and enjoyed some more rotisserie chicken, broccoli salad and sharp cheese. Tomorrow I'm going to have a salad with cheese and ranch. I use Artisan lettuce. I needed a break from it which was why I had the broccoli salad a couple days and that didn't take me out of ketosis, but I should get some more greens going in me again. I felt very full after my lunch today. For my snack around 4:00 (last meal of the day), I had two pieces of sharp cheese, water and felt kinda full. I pulled a Dove dark chocolate from my co-workers basket and it laid on my desk. I went to grab for it and just didn't feel I needed it. I was full. So interesting to me. I had the urge to grab it to bring to my desk. I decided I would eat it if I wanted it after I had my cheese. I just didn't. I didn't even want sunflower seeds a little after. I was good to go.

In the evening I was much better than last night and was not irritable. I feel like I could move my workouts to nights if I needed to. Usually I am so tired by the evening I don't want to. My husband made some popcorn chicken around 8:00 for his dinner that he added cheese and ate in flour wraps and it looked really good, but I didn't feel the need to have to eat it (usually I take a bite or two). I had energy and didn't feel overly tired like I needed to just go to bed. I explained a little to him about how I was eating and I think he went through sad mode like I have recently, but what I've been eating though has been so satisfying. I won't say I'd live without EVERYTHING I ate before, but I'm definitely willing to continue to live without less.
