Although I didn't sleep very well I was able to get up early enough to have breakfast and coffee. I was kind of worried that I would be able to do so. When I first go to work I was just dead tired but it was too busy to sneak away to get the Sugar Free Red Bull that I would normally drink at work (not sponsored) I was able to sneak in an energy shot. Those are technically cheaper than the energy drinks, but you get more out of the drinks than the shots. It is a small miracle that the...

    Another day when I woke up quite early (for me) I woke up close to 7:30 which is kind of odd considering that according to the health app on the phone I fell asleep around 2:15. Another oddity was that even though I was fully awake both mentally and physically. I was just sitting here for a good several hours. I'd be sitting here, blink, and wow that was 45 minutes ago I need to get going and get things done, blink, that was an hour and a half ago.

    I decided that I was kind of tired of bacon and eggs every day so I decided to have some of the diced ham that I had left over from yesterday's salad fried in butter, with some diced green bell pepper and scrambled some eggs and cheese. This was a really good combination.

    Today was a really quiet day. I did laundry at Mom's house. We watched a few Tornado videos on YouTube. I teased her that she was just impatient for spring. (She REALLY doesn't like winter)

    She also streamed a couple of episodes of a really charming British crime drama (I don't remember the name of the show). I don't have the time or money to sign up for all of the dozens of streaming services. But this one was really entertaining. I do get that the show is completely fiction, but it really did make me think of how fortunate we are to live in such a blessed family.

    The “Lunch” was a roast that Step-Dad had bought for mom. He works abroad so he wasn't home today but I do owe him some thanks for quite a few things that helped me in the latter half of this year. She says that the roast turned out very dry. But it is hard to tell, because it turned out the way that ALL of my roasts turn out. I don't want to go into detail about how the roast was because of respect to Mom. She wasn't impressed with how it turned out, but it really was just a normal roast to me. I'm calling it “Lunch” with the quotations because it was the second meal that I ate today.

    I'm not sure if Mom is doing OMAD, but she had only eaten the roast that she had prepared for the two of us while I was there doing laundry. The roast was done in the hour most people would be having dinner, but again this would be a late lunch for me. She is really proud and I am proud of her that she is sticking to the Carnivore Diet. She has been having a lot of success with Carnivore, but I don't know if I could ever stick to that level of a restrictive diet. And she assured me that the clinic that she encouraged me to sign up for is very supportive for the Keto and diets similar to that.

    When I got home I decided to shave because the facial hair was getting back to the point where it was irritating me again. People say that if you let it grow long enough that it'll stop being annoying. But I have yet to stand it long enough to grow past the part where it's constantly rubbing around my cheeks and neck. I had let it grow for a while so when I shaved it this evening it made my face and neck BURNING HOT. But then I'm not sure if that was because I had let it grow so long or if the razor is ready to be changed again. Probably a combination of the two. I would rather be clean shaven with a short hair cut, but that's just another thing I need to be applying myself towards.

    I didn't have a dinner this evening. When I started writing this out I did start getting what I call, “Mouth Hungry” I'm trying to eat only when hungry, and now that I'm thinking that I haven't had dinner yet I can't help but think that, “Hey, I haven't eaten yet!” And that kind of makes me want to eat. And that's not one of the signs of hunger. (Growling stomach, weakness, headache, shakiness, etc.) I do have to say that there are a whole lot of foods that would sound very good right now. But eating the foods that sound good when they sound good isn't the goal that I want to be working towards. And when I waited long enough that feeling of "I HAVE TO EAT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T EATEN YET" eventually went away. Then again that thought did come back again, but I fought it off. Dr Ken Berry suggests that a 24 hour fast is best to determine how to tell if you are actually "HUNGRY" but I don't know if I want to go to work at a grocery store tomorrow hungry
