Monster, Macros, Moon

Thursday RUN 5.3 miles 

No commute, since we dropped Puppy off at REI for some maintenance. The squeaks and creaks and brake malalignment needed to be addressed. Then REI suggested a new derailleur cable (frayed) and a new chain. I think the chain was from 2018? When SO had the bike worked on? 

LA left for MO yesterday, I had a half day at work given a late morning with him and an early afternoon doggie appointment. She's all spiffy now, trimmed and washed. 

Me on the other hand, a mess. Monster of Dollar Store find yesterday. I give myself a day forgiveness, but it's really more than a day. 

I retooled my macros yesterday.  
Before: Carbs 20% 60g; Protein 35% 105g; Fat 50% 67g
After:   Carbs 15% 45g; Protein 20% 60g; Fat 65% 87g

The goal was to lower the amount of protein. I'm reading that it's insulinogenic, and the guidelines suggest 10-20% from protein. I'm doing 35%. Further, I'm not "satisfied" after a meal - I keep wanting something more. Maybe changing the protein and fat will help. 

I retooled my meal plan then too. Now instead of 8 egg whites, 2 yolks, canned salmon and protein powder - it's 3 eggs, protein powder, more peanut butter and butter and oil. 

Give it 2 months?

Finally, a full moon last night.
