Lucky Number 7

     Day 7 of 21. One week is officially signed, sealed and delivered. I will tell you that no part of me wanted to do this tonight. I feel like a wrung out dishcloth. I think it's more mentally exhausted than anything, I'd say a good night's sleep would help, but we all know that's not going to happen. Or maybe we didn't all know that, but in any case, now we do.

     I was going to take my measurements and see what kind of progress I made, but I decided against that. I really don't think anything has changed. I don't feel lighter or tighter so, screw it. Besides that, my scale is almost useless so getting an accurate weight is a joke. Take my adventure the other morning for example. I like to weigh myself when I get up. I figure I might as well get the personal disgust out of the way first thing so I can move on with my more widely spread disgust about the world. So I scuffle into the bathroom and wake the damned thing up with a toe tap. I step on when it's ready and it tells me I weigh 188lbs. Bollocks. But it's OK, I'll play along. So I give it the old toe tap again, this time with a little attitude, and step on when it's adjusted itself. 164lbs. Easiest diet I ever went on, WOO! I know that's not right either though. The third time is supposed to be a charm, so I toe tap the stinkin thing in a last-ditch effort to get a reasonable weight. Now I'm back up to 177lbs. I gave up at that point and just took an average of the three, but I'm not even sure that average is accurate. This is why it's so frustrating to figure out just how much I've lost. Not to mention that my weight fluctuates so much in the course of a week (hormones are lovely, am I right?). My clothes are loose and that's how I know I'm doing OK. At the end of the three weeks, I'll take my measurements again and see what happened. At least tape measures don't lie. 

     I have to confess that I have had more sugar than I was eating and so I am more waterlogged than I would like. It's also probably why I feel like shit. Something to take note of and adjust. Certainly not something to beat myself up over. 

     Anyway, here's tonight's numbers:

START TIME - 3:53pm

END TIME - 4:21pm

20lb KB (15 swings, 5 goblet squats, 3 push ups) 20x

One minute faster than last night. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but I'll take it!

     Tonight's recipe isn't a diabetic recipe, but it's a keto one. It's for Curry Rubbed Chicken Thighs. I had never had many curry-flavored foods until I went on this keto diet. I realized I had been missing out on some awesome flavors. This is a favorite of ours when we're feeling a little spicy. That whole website found here has some great recipes. They're anything but low fat though, so if that's what you're looking for, be careful of what recipes you choose. Remember, keto is about low carb, not low fat!

     Speaking of food, I need to go get dinner - salmon for us tonight.
