I'm still determined to do outdoor music and am planning to go to a thing Tuesday evening.
Self-care today:
I did go to spin class and also took a short hike to a local waterfall that I've been thinking about for a while.
And more self-care, I've backed away from doing keto/up to 20 grams of carbs and switched to low carb/up to 50 grams of carbs instead. The keto just wasn't working for me with the intermittent fasting routine... too challenging to get enough calories in (Dr Pelz recommends 1200 to 1500) during a four hour eating window. And I have to say, as much as my body loves fasting (and it does) my soul loves going out and having a decadent meal with a good amount of calories, healthy carb and fats. Yesterday for lunch I had grilled salmon, asparagus and Yukon gold potatoes. OMG it tasted so good and I was satiated for the first time in days, plus I didn't go out of ketosis. This morning for breakfast I had a half order of Eggs Benedict with shrimp and crab and a side of hash browns. Had to skip the muffin it was on (staying away from refined flour or sugar) and only ate half of the potatoes, but it was so so good.
This afternoon I'm going to a movie/comedy up in the fancy theater room, the previews have made everyone laugh so I'm looking forward to it.
