Today's Treats:

Monday's Treats:

- Smoked almonds, orange
- Two hamburger patties, five pieces of bacon, four pieces of cheddar cheese
I like to eat fruit. Bananas, oranges, apricots, peaches, pears, etc. In trying to eat mostly a ketogenic diet, those fruits aren't allowed, only berries. I like berries, but I like other fruit as well. I get it. Most fruits have carbs and sugar. It's natural sugar, but your body treats it the same. Still, it really hard to look at a piece of fruit and say, "That's not good for me." The earth provided this for me to eat and enjoy. I know. I know. Pesticides, mass production, GMO, and all that. Regardless,I plan to keep eating fruit. Not to excess, maybe I won't eat it every day, but I'll still eat it. If it is technically counted as a cheat, so be it. For now, anyway.

Due to COVID, I was not able visit my doctor's office to weigh in this morning. I will have to just push hard and get down to a low low enough weight to weigh in at home. My doctor did call with my blood results. Everything looks splendid. The only caution was that my HDL (or "good" cholesterol) level were a little low. The doctor said that I could counteract that by switching to olive oil instead of vegetable oil. We'll see what Big Anklevich has to say about that.
Also due to COVID, I worked from home for the 2nd half of the day and will be working from home tomorrow and Friday. This will be ongoing for at least the next few weeks. The temptations to eat more is definitely stronger when I am at home. I just have to be diligent.
