I was going to make this a video, but I
just didn't get it done. And I just don't feel like saying all of
this to a camera. But it does seem like a waste to just delete it
all. (I did get carried away.) I'm just going to just post this here
on my blog.
I am getting back into keto, or the
Ketogenic diet. If you're not familiar with the keto diet it is a
diet that avoids all sugars, pastas, grains, and carbs. I was, more
or less, doing that diet from July through mid September. But I lost
resolve (for lack of a better term) and I just kind of stopped doing
it. I really wasn't planing out my meals or anything so I really
started eating a lot of hamburger helper, and Velveeta dinners, and
Mac and cheese and a bunch of pastas and stuff. And there are mental
effects of the keto diet that I didn't notice as I was doing the
diet. But the blah feelings I had been struggling with was
interestingly enough the “brain poison” that I made a video about
awhile back. Getting onto the keto diet there is something called the
“Keto flu” I've never really had that I was just kind of tired
for a day or two as I started Ketosis, but coming off of keto. Man I
can tell you THAT sucks. Keto can help with depression and other
mental challenges. Now I have never been diagnosed with depression
(well that would require going to a doctor every once and a while)
But I can say I was doing so much better when I was doing the diet.
Before and after doing the diet I had frustrations of the feelings of
waking up going to work and going back to bed. Just to repeat again
the next day. And Just wake up go to work and go back to bed. And
thinking about all of the things that I wanted to do and then not get
done. It would not surprise me if I did have depression and just
didn't get around to forcing myself to a doctor for a prognosis. But
cleaning up my diet did make me feel better. And I really didn't
notice how well I was feeling until I wasn't doing it anymore. And
getting back into the diet, I could almost feel the mental clouds
clearing. And something odd that seems to be happening is my knees,
elbows, back, and other joints are popping and cracking. I think this
is a good thing, as I believe that it is a sign that pressure is
being relieved from my body
I try to stay away from politics, but
today is Voting day and I am actually off, I didn't think of voting
day when I asked for Tuesdays off, but it is handy that voting day is
always on a Tuesday (The Tuesday after the first Monday of November
every two years if I remember correctly) and if you haven't voted
yet, please do. Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Communists...go
rethink your lives
And as a independent
centrist I will implore people to vote for the candidate that you
agree with. Please don't just vote for a party. I am quite tired of
people complaining about partisanship and then blame the other party
for all of their ills. Or people claim that they hate a candidate
but they have to vote for the person that they hate because that is
the party that they vote for. I'm not going to tell you who to vote
for or the values you need to hold dear. But please vote for the
people that you agree with. Please don't just vote for a party's
candidates because that is the party that you vote for. Because that
(in my opinion) is really what is the reasons why
Washington is so messed up anymore. People keep voting for more and
more divided people to congress and other positions in government and
it gets harder and harder for them to work together so less and less
gets done. Some argue that this is a good thing and we don't want a
government that works together too well and this keeps them from
doing unpleasant things. But it also seems to be used as an excuse to
not do their jobs. We have grown “adults” going
I'm not talking to them they're on the wrong team!
Okay, that's enough of politics, I
swear, (for another two years or so) But I am thinking about changing
my video release schedule. I wanted to do a cooking video on the
second Monday of each month. But I have so many recipes and I cook
so much I am thinking about making it a weekly series. I have a
couple of weekly series already. Sunday is Weekly Weigh In, Wednesday
is Cosplay Updates, and Friday is Store Stories. The question is what
day do I upload a weekly recipe video. I could do it Tuesdays. I
didn't have videos planed for Tuesdays, but Tuesdays are supposed to
be my days off. I could post on Monday, Thursday, or Saturday, but I
have a schedule that I want to follow on those days (not that I have
been following that schedule) And if I do change recipe videos to
every Tuesday what will I do on the second Monday of each month. I
have a VERY long to do list. And I'm not sure if I want to add
another category.
