Daily Totals: 1564 Calories @ 177P/48C/78F Definitely need to eat more at meals so I don't eat that close to bed and want to snack. screws with my leptin and my carb balances!
1030 pm - 630 am 8 hours sleep. Looking forward to summer, when I don't have to wake up at 630 with the kids!!!!
700 a.m. Most bestest breakfast ever!!! Fish Soup! Seriously! Delicious!!! 8 oz of tilapia, 2 oz each onions and celery, 1 oz total cilantro and parsley, 1 oz mushrooms in bone broth with a tbs of coconut oil melted in. I could have eaten two bowls!
Breakfast: 457 calories @ 62P/9C/20F
And a coffee update! That first morning I really wanted my coffee. Since then, I haven't thought about it twice. Much easier to give up than I thought!
200 pm Shrimp Soup. Honestly. Bone broth plus meat plus a few veggies rocks! 8 oz shrimp, 4 oz leeks, 2 oz each mushrooms and kale, 1 oz radishes, and a handful of fresh dill in bone broth with 1 tbs coconut oil. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
This soup came about due to my valiant attempts the last two weeks to eat everything that comes in my wonderful Harvest2U box! The first week, when I wasn't eating keto, ROCKED! I devoured everything with time to spare. This second week, it's more of a challenge, since I am trying to keep my carbs under 30g a day. But I got my new box today and had to finish stuff up! The result was absolutely delicious!
The hardest part is not eating the beets. I love beets! And I was so happy the first week! Roasted them and enjoyed! This week, I roasted them also, but I've been giving them to the parrots in the morning (they are also loving the Harvest2U goodies! As are the kids!) so they spend all day with red beaks. It's sort of cute.
The only thing that threw me is that I didn't run leeks through cron-o-meter before cooking and eating...just assumed they'd be comparable to onions. Wrong! 16 grams of carbs in a half cup. So I went over my carb limit today. But boy was it a delicious way to do it! and now I know!
Lunch: 475 calories @ 51P/26C/19F
600 pm: 8 oz tilapia, 1 Tbs Coconut oil, 1/2 cup blackberries with cinnamon
800 pm: small handful of walnuts. I obviously need to eat more with my later meal so I don't eat this close to bed.

7:00 am: 1 tin sardines in olive oil, 4 oz beef, eye of round, 4 oz onions, 2 oz kale, 1 cup bone broth, 1 tbs coconut oil all cooked up together into a delicious brothy bowl of yum. No more microwaving the bone broth in a mug and drinking it. Much, much better WITH the veggies and meat in it!

1030-1230...my monthly two hour massage! My masseuse gets as excited as I do, because she actually has time to get work done on some of the bits she has to gloss over when I only have an hour. I told her my joints were sore, so she went to town upstream and downstream. I've never had my upper arms hurt so much from massage! LOL! And now that she's more comfortable with me, she's practicing her English. Today she was very interested in my man situation and said I need to find a Chinese boyfriend and then I will be happy! :)
2:00 p.m. 8 oz shrimp, 4 oz of celery, 1 oz onions, 1 oz total fresh parsley and cilantro, garlic and lemon grass all cooked in bone broth with 1 tbs of coconut oil melted in and lime juice. Delicious Asiany soup! nomz!

1200 pm: 4x4 meat at in-n-out...animal style, protein style, no sauce, no cheese. 8 oz meat total. The kid who took my order wanted to know if it was for me. lol! Isn't it funny how me eating 8 oz meat, and about an oz of lettuce and tomatoes is odd. But he wouldn't have thought twice had I ordered a normal double double with bread and cheese and sauce and then had fries and a shake with it.
200 pm 1/2 cup frozen blueberries with cinnamon
530 pm 8 oz chuck steak, 3 pieces bacon, 1 tbs coconut oil
830 pm 1 oz almonds (I know...not supposed to be eating nuts and not supposed to be eating this late. I had fucking snack table duty at the super late hockey game. This was how I dealt with being up past my bedtime and hungry and sitting behind a table of chips and candy. I had none of it. Win, in my book.
Notes to self: No more bacon. No more nuts. Period.

5/21/12 Joints and Hormones
Monday
Daily Totals: 1913 calories @ 148 P/27C/136F
up at 630 am...8.5 hours of sleep.
My joints have been bothering me for about 4 weeks. This is what started me on my keto-venture and doing the full leptin reset. They haven't gotten better. In fact, my right hip and my right elbow started really aching yesterday. Today it's both hips and my right elbow and shoulder. To the point that normal activities are a bit uncomfortable. Sitting is unpleasant. Moving my right arm makes uncomfortable twinges. A little online research pointed me to this article (http://www.womentowomen.com/understandyourbody/symptoms/stiffnessjointpain.aspx?id=1&campaignno=jointpain&adgroup=ag13ache&keywords=aching+joints&gclid=CKypzLmRkrACFWQ0QgodYiejnw) which talks about how joint pain in woman my age is usually a mixture of two issues:
chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalance.
OK. I have eaten paleo for 4 years, so I have less inflammation than many. However, I just realized the effects of omega-6:omega-3 imbalances and their effect on inflammation and just started addressing that last week when I cut out poultry and olive oil.
As for the hormones...well, obviously they're imbalanced! That's why I'm doing the leptin reset. Even more importantly, I just stopped that birth control about 4 weeks ago.So I'm pretty much sure that after being on birth control for thirty years, my body's going through some huge hormonal changes right now. And this statement was a good guess until I literally just re-read what I'd written and realized that the onset of my joint pain dovetails perfectly with the cessation of my birth control. BIG SIGH OF RELIEF!
So hopefully I just need to get through this transition and let my body get balanced and then things will stop hurting. Until then, I will just figure out how to deal with it.

Sunday Daily Totals: 1280 Calories @ 116P/36C/78F
A totally decadent 9.5 hours of sleep last night! *insert lacivious moan right here*
945 am: 6 oz squid, 4 oz each onions and mushrooms in lots of garlic and 1 Tbs of coconut oil. This was surprisingly scrumptious! Like your old favorite seafood pasta dish, without the pasta.
347 calories @ 30g Protein/20g Carb/16g Fat
Well, shit...apparently all seafood isn't as high in protein as my tilapia. I sort of made an assumption on that and then did the cron-o-meter an hour after I ate. Guess I need to go eat more.
OH!!! and I have wholly and completely failed to mention that I totally embraced Kruse's 'no exercise' tenet. So last week I taught off the bike, eliminating 3 hours of high intensity cardio that's been a mainstay of my schedule for years. I know it's too much, but it used to be seven hours a week...the three is a vast improvement. Apparently the zero is an even vaster improvement. I also took a training break and didn't lift at all this week. After a talk with my coach, and a review of Kruse's 'You may begin lifting when...' guidelines, I'm going to start back with the lifting this week. HOWEVER, his admonishment to only lift after 5 pm is wholly and completely at odds to what I've been doing for years and will take some planning. But I'm going to give it my best!
and another OH! I've noticed this week that my hair is ultra shiny and soft! My eyelashes look like I had extensions put in. And I think I could use my fingernails to spear a saber tooth tiger, they have gotten so strong! So just more perks!
330 8 oz tilapia and 1 tbs of coconut oil, 1/2 cup blueberries with cinnamon
600 In n out...double meat animal style, protein style. Took them home to eat, so actually measured the meat. 2 patties came to a whopping 3 oz of meat! I'll have to start getting a 4x4! That'll blow their mind. They already always make sure that I know it's a double I'm ordering. I also asked them what the fat ratio was in their hamburger and they said 4%?! hmmmmm.... oh...and added 2 oz walnuts for fat because I was running out the door. Only when I updated it on cron-o-meter did I realize that 2 oz of walnuts has 7 grams of carbs, which put me over 30 grams today. Damn it. Stupid nuts! lol!

OK...it's Saturday! A little breathe of sanity and slow-pace.
I wanted to take my measurements this morning, so I did. Last time I took them was just five days ago when I started this little keto-venture. But I was curious!
It's hard to take a crapload of measurements on oneself, so I stuck with four: waist, abs, hips,and right thigh.
Monday, May 14, 2012
waist 31", abs 35", hips 42.5", thigh 24.5"
Saturday, May 19, 2012
waist 30.5", abs 32.5", hips 42", thigh 24"
Whoot! 2.5 inches off my abs in 5 days! and half an inch off the other three. I'll take that!
Let's see...weekly recap on sleep...been averaging 8 hours a night except for that one night I read and read and read and only got 6.5 hours. Still, considering three months ago the norm for me was 6.5 a night, this is an improvement. Need to make it consistent and try for some 9-10 hour shifts too! Have starting napping again...just 20 minutes in the afternoon...that coincides perfectly with the removal of caffeine from my diet!
OK...time to start loggging!
Up at 745 am.
815am: 8 oz tilapia, 4 oz each onions and beet greens, 1 tbs coconut oil, 1 cup bone broth, 1 cup decaf raspberry green tea.
Breakfast totals: 481 calories @ 63g Protein/15g Carb/20g Fat
OK! My best friend's husband new Pub, West Coast Barbeque and Brew, celebrated their grand opening this weekend, so the boys and I traveled out to La Mesa to help them celebrate. Lunch was delicious! and a treat...in all senses of the word. BBQ Beef, Sweet Potatoe Fries, and coleslaw. Savored every bite! Didn't over eat, by any means, but I'm pretty sure the slaw sauce wasn't paleo! lol! Didn't worry about macronutrient breakdown or anything either. And that's ALL RIGHT! lol! This is my life! and I know from past experiences that when I let myself have little treats, this shit is sustainable! And sustainable is what every single one of us need to be shooting for! Educate yourself, experiment on yourself, and find what works. My weird thing, I guess, is that I don't plan my treats ahead. I don't need so many a week, or have to know when they're coming to hold my resolve in my daily eating. I have gone three weeks without a single treat meal. Hell, I celebrated my birthday without going off the keto-wagon. I didn't feel like eating anything off program then. Today I wanted some sweet potato fries and a little break from normal. I enjoyed it. And don't feel one ounce of bad! And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
7:00 8 oz squid, 4 oz romaine, 1 tbs of coconut oil.
Have no idea what daily totals are from lunch, so sort of scrapped the cron-o-meter for the day!
