Today I am at a much lower weight than I was yesterday. Yay! Although I'm having a bit of a struggle with constipation, I'm still losing the pounds, so I'm happy. I feel uncomfortable, so I will have to explore my options. I have been watching videos on the issue all day, and there are a few things that could be causing this.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 370.4 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
I have been getting really sleepy at the end of my day for the past couple of days. I may be missing something in my nutrients, but I'm not sure what. I'm still drinking plenty of electrolytes in the form of my "electrolyte juice" in my ironic pineapple (so named because it is blue, the contents do not taste of pineapple, and I can no longer eat pineapple.)
I also have had a bit of a struggle with fatigue. Trying to lift my arms over my head to change clothes, for example, has been exhausting. I think I may have also felt a bit light-headed, too. I'm not too sure about that one. It was very light if anything. I was attributing this to not getting enough sleep. '
Since coming back from vacation, I haven't been sleeping through the day for 8 hours. I fall asleep around 6:30 AM, and then I'm up at 11:00 AM and full of energy. I don't know what that's all about. I have a full spectrum light for my desk at work. I'm trying to reset my body's circadian rhythms so i can sleep better during the day. The light feels amazing, so something is working, but I still haven't been able to sleep well. Insomnia is one of the Keto diet growing pains, though.
I had pastrami and cream cheese for my meal this morning. I mixed the cream cheese with some light tasting olive oil (I have some surplus from my Shangri-La diet experiment), and I added about a half a bunch of cilantro and blended it all up. It tasted good, b
ut it was hard getting through it all. To meet my goal of 1000 to 1200 calories, I had to have the whole 8 oz of cream cheese, 6 oz of the pastrami, and 3 tbsp of the oil. Ugh! i did it, but it was hard.
I need to figure out how to sleep graph:
