Sober Week 1 (Day 10)
Had a hard time
falling asleep last night. I was able to get to bed around midnight
like I want to. I had listened to the meditation lessons that my
phone plays each night. And I felt really calm, but sleep just didn't
happen. The health app says that I fell asleep at about 1:25am but
I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing the alarm clock show 2:30. I
woke up at about 7:30 and I felt alright. “Keto Insomnia” is a
known thing when transitioning to the Keto diet. And this can last up
to four weeks. So add that to the reasons and challenges to staying
clean and sober. Because although I do feel more or less alright this
morning I imagine that I'd be feeling considerably better if I had a
couple more hours of sleep. As opposed to the imitation of a
rotisserie chicken that I was doing for most of the night. But here's
another thought. Is the lack of sleep because of transitioning to
Ketosis, or because I'm trying to work on this all of the way until
midnight. Perhaps I should try to finish these posts earlier and try
to get away from the computer for a while. I have seen many things
that say that reading before bed is one of the secrets to a restful
sleep, and it would be nice to get back to a habit of reading books.
Breakfast went
amazingly well, Influencers I
follow online tout the “Triple B and E Diet” and I got a chuckle
out of the idea of a Quadruple B and E meal. The “Breakfast with
Beef Butter Bacon (grease) and Eggs” I've tried cooking a steak in
bacon grease before, but when I've tried it before I didn't put in
enough grease to cook the steak and then the eggs. But this morning I
put in a good amount in to cook everything so it turned out quite well.
Getting up this
morning my right foot hurt more than my left foot. Left foot was
feeling better than it has been for a while. The left foot has been
kind of been making me nervous. About six months ago I had missed a
step coming down stairs (one of the reasons that I'm quitting
drinking) and made a really heavy STOMP and the foot has had a mild
ache in it ever since. I've tried telling the doctor back in
December, but he just chocked the pain up to the fact that I'm more
than double my healthy weight. Ankles were kind of cranky today also.
But Step-Dad bought me a new pair of shoes that I'm going to be
picking up tonight after work. He had bought some for me a couple of
weeks ago, but those were defective. We're hoping that the new pair
will be better. He bought them on a “Try before you buy” deal so
if they are bad at least he doesn't have to pay for the new pair if
they're defective. So far they're going quite well, but I've only
worn them for a couple of hours now.
I'm kind of angry
at my new belt. The elastic one that I was using was starting to get
worn out so I had ordered a new one when I bought my swim trunks. And
I wore the belt for two whole days before the buckle snapped off. My
pants fit well enough that I wasn't indecent for the last half of the
day, but it was annoying to have to constantly adjust my waistline
and re-tuck in my shirt.
I avoided buying
anything for lunch as I already had bought the Jumbo Jumbo Hot Dogs
the other day as well as the Sugar Free Rockstars as they were Buy 2
Get 2 Free. It still feels strange to walk out of the store without
buying anything. It always feels like I'm forgetting something.
And to make another mention in the "Mark Whines About Work" section, next week they're having me work six days and that is including what I'm wanting to be my assigned day off of Tuesdays. I'm flexible enough to go ahead and work what I was scheduled, but I am kind of grumpy that they didn't give me any warning that I'm going to be working on my supposed day off and working six days next week. I was finally able to talk to the Customer Service Manager to ask her what the hell and apparently so many people requested off on certain days next week that they were stretched too thin to have people having multiple days off. And apparently with how many people are quitting and have quit and some people are going to be out for medical issues we're just going to have to get used to working six days a week. I'm not sure how I feel about having to just "get used" to working six days a week. Personally I think you should get a bonus for working that many days a week. I'm assigned 40 hours so I'm not going to be getting overtime, but it would be nice to have some sort of compensation for spitting up the time like that. I'm also not a big fan of how I was talked down to when I was just trying to get a heads up on what was going on.
Despite the success at lunch to avoid buying anything I didn't manage to leave the store this evening without buying some more food. I needed to get more bacon, I had a coupon for bratwursts, and I was on my last serving of chicken. Of course I didn't have to buy the bratwurst or Chicken this evening, but I had a coupon to get so much off if I spent so much in the meat department so I figured, "Hey why not." When I was eating dinner I had a good laugh as I realized with the Steak and Eggs for breakfast, the Beef Hot Dogs for Lunch. and the Bratwursts for dinner I had accidentally been a full carnivore today.
I am curious if any Vegans at the end of their day had the thought of, " Huh, full vegan today"
