Skipped a day, now looking at schedule rearrangment

Thursday SKIPPED RUN

Friday RUN 10 miles, treadmill, up to 10 m/m

Wednesday was a long flow assay at lab. Didn't get home and to bed until after 11pm, maybe even 11:30. So when morning came I was mentally wiped out. I went to my newish morning routine of painting with coffee, and still wasn't motivated. I'd already had my chores done thanks to Wednesdays effort, so I really didn't have many other excuses. Just wiped out, unmotivated, and I listened to it. Was it a reason, or an excuse?

It was cold, too. Now that's an excuse!

On a positive note, the rest of Thursday my energy was WIRED. Nothing like last week's slog of apathy, instead I was awake and thinking and active.

Same thing Friday with energy. Even after a 10 mile run (indoors because it's again cold but this time a fresh coat of 3-4" snow on ice) on the treadmill, I'm wired and awake. The run was fasted, and after I'd missed my bus again and again, I ended up eating "because my stomach would be happier". Well, it wasn't, and I regret breaking the fast early. To help, I didn't eat all the eggs I'd prepared at noon lunch with LA. 

So about rearranging my schedule. The original plan was a 6+4+8 10+4. Now I'm at 6+4 10+?+-?.

Meaning, on Saturday and Sunday I still need the 8 and the 4. It can also be a 10+2. It could even be a 12, letting me rest on Saturday.

Next week is a 10 mile rest week. Whew! I'll need it. 

A few days ago was 2s-day, or two's-day, or however you call it: 22022022, a neat palindrome of two's that happed on a Tuesday. I love the things like this, and resolved on this day with a call to CP in which I was told to "get honest" that M has to stop. And since then, he has. I won't get married with this in my head. But why wait. On Tuesday, we tried on our rings! And since then, gone.

But the weight isn't changing yet, and if anything I'm "heavy" with swollen legs and jeans that fit different and not for the better! This low-carb thing started around Jan 18, intensified 2-1 or so, so it's been 3.5 weeks of it. It takes weeks to adapt. I'm eating less than 50g total carbs per day and it blows my mind that I can run like this while eating like this. Why is the weight not coming off as it should?

Well, I gotta get honest. I gotta log the olives and the bacon and the snacks that aren't "planned". I need to reduce the added fat and focus on accurate proteins (ie, not chicken thigh so hard to quantify). I need to sit at meals and eat like an adult, not standing at the counter like a conveyor belt and surfing through foods. CHANGE!
