Today, emotionally, I felt good. In fact, yesterday and today both, I felt better than I have in a VERY long time. Exercise is known to do that. I hit 14,000 steps yesterday. I was productive, got a lot done around the house. Today I did some food prep, I baked 10 pounds of ground beef into hamburgers, and froze for future.The one thing I do not care for about being keto/carnivore (ketovore?) is that I hate cooking, but it's a requirement. We do not eat out. COVID stopped us going to restaurants, and we got out of the habit. We are both fine with that. Husband goes to Taco Johns twice a month, but I don't eat there. I really have no desire to eat out. Now if there were a Starbucks in my town, I'd go for coffee. I do go for coffee with friends here sometimes, but the coffee is meh -- I'm going for the friendship. Starbucks, I go for the coffee because I love it.
Tonight I did not want to walk after dinner. Just wasn't feeling it. Then I remembered a cognitive behavioral technique from The Beck Diet Book. No choice. I have no choice, I must do it. And with that, I chuckled, and I went and did a 35-minute walk and a 20-minute stretch.
One delightful thing: A couple years ago husband bought me a nice (under $100, but not cheap) pair of wireless headphones that completely cover the ear. I have always loved headphones, but these are awesome. I lost the charger immediately, so I haven't used them. I mentioned it in passing, and he gave me a new charger. Wow, are they amazing on the treadmill. I love many genres of music, and music is my motivator. Tonight it was Big Band again. Mostly I like rock 'n roll. Those earphones are just the best.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to pick up a dumbbell again. Right now I'm establishing the cardio pattern, and it's time to add to it.
