I was doing so good for over a week and then.......
SPLAT!
I fell off the wagon. DH brought freshly baked bread and potato chips into the house late last night. My resistant level wasn't up to the challenge. I ate some bread and chips.
Okay. Putting that into perspective. This doesn't make me a bad person. It was not something that I planned or wanted to do. It did raise my blood sugar back into the pre-diabetic level. It did knock me out of ketosis. But it isn't the end of the world. Thankfully I am healthy enough to easily recover. I will have to start again.
My H&F plan for today is more of the same. I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater because I messed up......
** Continue with previously establish healthy habits (hydration, vitamins, checking Blood sugar, etc)
** IF 16:8. That means fast for 16 hours and eat in an 8-hour window. My eating window today is 9am to 5pm
** Keto WOE. Today's menu is a green salad, creamed spinach, sauteed cabbage
** Go to YMCA for a couple hours of exercise.
** Log food into MFP.
I am going to focus on learning more about fasting by watching these videos today. In particular about Autophagy (Nobel Prize in 2016)
