Looks like it will be a potato-filled day. Something that is interesting only to me.
I think I'm slowly figuring out the cramp puzzle. I had some fairly vicious cramping overnight, I thought it was toward morning but when I looked at the clock, nope, it was 2:15. I did manage to go back to sleep in the recliner and then slept through until it was time to get up. So it was annoying and a bit painful but not major. Anyway, I think what I have figured out is that electrolyte issues not only are triggered by sweating, but also by taking in lots of water (diluting). I didn't sweat that much last night - the temperature was kept pleasant by a nice breeze - so I figured I would not have an issue. But I did drink a lot of water. Maybe it's exacerbated by the beer, that I do not know. But I think I diluted my body's supply and that triggered the cramping. At least that's my current working theory. One which I plan to test in detail over the coming weekend.
Otherwise, another day closer. Pleased to see a drop on the scale, I certainly did not earn one. BP has also been steady (on the inaccurate machine) at a lower number, so that's good too.
Breakfast: Coffee
Yup. It's been nice not being hungry in the morning -- I could have eaten today, but I did not need to eat. The psychological "need" to eat mostly kicks in at other times, like when I'm driving around.
Lunch: 4 eggs scrambled, CF chorizo, a little cheddar cheese, hatch chiles, hash browns in olive oil
Had a package of chorizo that needed to be cooked, so I had a HUGE fat bowl o' breakfast. It was delightful.
Dinner: Barbacoa, mashed potatoes, guacamole, 12 oz All Day IPA
From an older, lesser batch of barbacoa. It was fine. I will say that the giant breakfast bowl kept me well sated all afternoon.
Exercise: Yes. I did a walk to pick up a car this afternoon, not far, only six blocks or so. Going to do another one to the health food store of similar length. Nothing major, but enough to count.
