That Other Resistance

Saturday, January 16, 2021

TGIS.  Not as catchy as TGIF but maybe even more of a relief.  I need a day off.  Ambitions are modest.

Saw an inforgraphic on twitter the other day that caught my attention.  It pictured a few different signs of insulin resistance, including one which I had never really thought of before -- being hungry just after eating.  I've definitely experienced that.  I've always attributed it to just a defect in how my stomach communicates satiety to my brain, but perhaps there is something more to it, that it's insulin driven.  Interesting.  To me, anyway.

Anyway, a good start to today -- got to bed early again and this time I actually put down the phone (a dismal habit I must break) at a relatively reasonable 10:30.  Woke up about 5:00 and was actually awake.  No dozing, no obvious sleep deficit.  I haven't exactly been a ball of fire (it's now 7:00) but I have managed to get through the shower, emptied the dishwasher and prepped breakfast to cook.  Oh, and snoring was nice and limited last night for once.  I wonder if being done eating earlier had something to do with that.  No love from the scale but no surprise since I ate well and was not active yesterday.

Breakfast:  Buttermilk pancakes with butter and maple syrup, sausage, coffee

Oh man was this good.  I picked up a tip a while back to let the batter sit for a bit to "let the buttermilk work its magic" and doing so makes it so easy to use.  Just have to keep the ladlefulls scant ... which I always forget.

Lunch:  Vigo yellow rice with diced ham.  

Tasty but of course way too much.  This is the one meal of the weekend I didn't really have nailed down in advance.

Dinner:  Detroit style pizza with pepperoni, keto meatballs and onion.  12 oz All Day IPA

Tried a different recipe, did not like it as much.  Still edible, still ate way too much.  I will say the sauce was better and it cooked with a lot less drama due to the tomatoes being drained (?).  It was nice having no splatters to fight.

Might take a break from the Detroit style next weekend and try making a stuffed crust pizza.

Exercise:  Nope.  And only moderately active too.  Weight will be up tomorrow.
