Here was my day yesterday:
Breakfast- BPC, 1 cheddar keto waffles topped with 2 fried eggs
Lunch- 3 all beef hot dogs, 1 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp low sugar ketchup, 1/2 c cucumbers in vinegar
Dinner- Sausage and Cheddar Beer soup, 1 piece faux-ccocia, 1/4 c almonds
Water count- 169 fl oz (I was thirsty!)
I got a fitbit!
My husband has the one that attaches to his belt loop and has been wearing it a lot recently to track his activity. He's averaging 10,000 steps a day and says it helps him to be more aware of old sedentary habits he needs to break. This sounds like a great idea, so I bit the bullet and ordered a new Fitbit Charge HR. It's the fancy shmancy one that goes on your wrist like a watch. It monitors your steps, mileage, stairs climbed, and your heart rate. It also keeps time, has a silent alarm, and will monitor your sleep so you can see how restful or restless your sleep patterns are. The free fitbit app will also allow you to log food and water intake, the website proper has room to log weight and measurements, blood pressure, and blood sugar for those who need such monitoring.
The device showed up in the mail yesterday in the late afternoon, so after opening the package and two hours charging it up I didn't get to wear it for long prior to bed. I did wear it through the evening hours, especially when I got dinner fixed and cleaned up, and knocked out some laundry. I was surprised at how much I actually walked. When I set up my app I picked a modest goal if 5,000 steps per day to begin. In only two or three hours I managed to knock out over 1600 steps just by doing my regular household chores, so we will see how active I actually am and whether or not I should up my daily goal.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see my results from my first night's sleep, as they confirmed what I'd already suspected. I'm sleeping very fitfully with few disturbances, which would have been abnormal for me a month ago. I've always been a very light and restless sleeper, with frequent ups and down in the night. I'm also a mild insomniac, with regular intervals of difficulty falling asleep until the wee hours of the morning several times a week. All of that seems to have disappeared since I went keto and these readings seem to confirm that. Hooray for keto!
Anyway, I'm off to eat something for breakfast and then to do a core exercise routine. I'm up to four workouts a week without any adverse effects, so I'm going to add in a fifth today and see how it goes. Wish me luck!
KOKO, my babies!
