Day 9: 3 mins Spartan
Current stack: Spartan, LOTS.
I do have an increased hunger today. Not as much as previous days. So it gives light to a new challenge for me.
My days after I work may lead me to an increased sense of hunger. It’s not a big deal for now. I don’t see that I’m putting on weight yet. If I had 6 pack abs I think I’d see those fluctuations more. But I’m not quite there yet. Plus after being in a deficit for so long, my body probably needs a surplus anyway. It’s just something I’ve never dealt with, increasing hunger and demand for calories based on activity level.
I don’t even think my level is that high besides work for the past 2 weeks. Though being more around my maintenance weight bodyfat, those things seem to have started to come up.
My sex drive has seemed to have tapered off in the last couple weeks as well. Though I wake up with that morning umm wood situation. So it’s not a health thing. Just maybe that energy isn’t as prevalent lately. It may be going to recovery, I would entertain that idea. Though right around the time of my partial k awakening situation, my sex drive was definitely on a high.
Planning to workout today. Not in the mood to push it but with a lower intensity that should get me back into the workout habit.
Off keto yet, I’m going to not go overboard is all. Until I get that whatever it is that gets me back to keto. It wasn’t will power or discipline. It was just I guess right for me so it was a no effort situation. And I’m still toying with the idea that maybe my body still needs a slight break since it wants more calories and it’s not catastrophic to my physique.
I talk about recovery, but I also have physical shifting and internal organ healing in play from LOTS. So that probably contributes to the increased energy/caloric demand as well.
Afternoon Updates
I went to the subway for lunch. Still off keto. I been enjoying their sandwiches.
This is the second time I went to a one of these places in the last week. What struck me as interesting is that the cashiers were both females. The first was a younger maybe HS or just out of HS. Well this was an older more mid 20’s if not older woman. Both times I don’t think they said a word to me! The first one was shy, but this one I dunno. I just think it’s so interesting that there’s people out there who don’t have that customer service vibe at least. I mean I used to cashier and I could put on that customer service vibe. Maybe wasn’t the most authentic but just got into that kind of groove to get through work.
Just kinda wild that, well they don’t have to smile at me or anything. But dang, I’m not offended. Just to me makes the case that we should have all been assigned to read How To Win Friends and Influence People sometime back in school. Even should have a lecture on it. We still need it!
Eve
I got just about 8 hours of sleep straight, finally. I’m still tired though. I haven’t even drank the caffeine today either. That push through via the mind isn’t there. I’d still call it a sense of wisdom and more letting my body dictate the day. Though I’m having the caffeine now before it gets way too late.
