Resetting back to a couple of days ago. So back to making progress for the month. Feet really hurt this morning. They stopped hurting as I got up and moving around. As I was leaving for work (dressed, so I know it wasn't a dream) I noticed that the windows were down a bit. I hurriedly thought if it had rained last night. I don't think that it did. I'm sure that I had just left them down a bit because of the great weather we've been having the last couple of days. On the way to work I am starting to wonder if the sensor on the traffic light is working or not. I was sitting at the light for quite a while and it only turned green when a car came from the other way. ...

    Today was a really smooth day. It was the day before Thanksgiving so it was busy, but they thankfully scheduled us to have extra help. Or heh, “extra” help. Three or four years ago most of today's help would have been the normal crew. It was also nice that everybody showed up for work and all of the customers seemed to understand that it was busy. It probably helped that all of the registers were open. But then again if anybody calls in “sick” today they'd lose their holiday pay. As if anybody calls in the day before, the day of, or the day after any paid holiday not only would people lose out on the pay for the hours that they're scheduled to work, but they'd lose out on 4 to 8 hours of extra pay depending on if they're full or part time.

    I didn't take the time this morning to eat breakfast. This morning was strange as it was another one of those mornings where I'd blink and it was an hour later. So I just didn't have the time to cook anything. And yes that made me HUNGRY at lunch time, especially because I worked a 5-3 split today. So it was 4 in the afternoon before I could eat lunch. Curious point, would that count as intermediate fasting? I'm kind of wondering if I just naturally do intermediate fasting. Looking at the Keto related subreddits I seem to be the only person in the world that doesn't really “snack” that much. My problem is that when I'm not doing Keto I'm one guy eating a boxed meal that is designed for a family of five. The proponents for the Keto and Carnivore make some really big promises about the diets. Some of them do come true while I'm following the Keto, the challenge (er “challenge”) is sticking to the diet.

    Lunch was Chicken Enchilada Soup and surprisingly it actually had some chicken in it. So many other servings of this soup just didn't seem to have any chicken in them I was starting to wonder if I had cooked it right. Most of the servings of the soup is just the onions and other herbs that are in the soup. The problem was that the large chunk of chicken that was in that particular serving of soup really seemed to absorb the heat from the microwave when I heated it up for lunch so it took a long time to eat that one bowl of soup.

    After work I set up some chicken to bake in the oven. And it takes a while to bake the chicken in the way I cook it. So I finished off the Fathead pizza that I cooked yesterday. I was going to have that for breakfast this morning, but I ended up being late for work. It was impressive how well that pizza lasted sitting on top of my stove. I hope I didn't give myself food poisoning because I just ate some cheese and meat that was sitting out in the open on top of the stove for the better part of 24 hours.

    Dinner was kind of hard to eat. I had baked the chicken for 2 hours at 400 degrees (204 C) as that's how I usually bake the chicken. But the chicken I baked this evening was planned and thawed out and not just straight out of the freezer like I normally bake chicken. So there was a really hard crust on the chicken. And it all just crumbled as I tried to eat it.
