All this good food, and new food in the ‘fridge has had us working furiously in the kitchen. It’s time for a left-over day. Not because we’re tired of cooking, but because we still haven’t mastered the art of cooking for two (and when I was alone, I’d cook on Sunday and eat through until Thursday most weeks).
Today was still easy. I have some fears that my metabolism is broken, because I’m not feeling any ill effects at all. But, I started today off the same as usual, eggs, spinach, different spices than the day before. Breakfast is just an automatic thing I eat because I’m “supposed” to, usually by 9AM but sometimes by 11AM. Some days I want to skip it, but calorie-wise on this Whole30 that seems like a bad idea. Additionally, breakfast is likely why I’m satiated through the day.
Lunch was left-over stuffed bell-pepper (ground turkey), and a slice of shepherds pie again. Work was smooth, nothing extraordinary at all about today. I thought I should exercise, so I hopped on the new water rowing machine, and was able to bang out 5 solid minutes during lunch. I didn’t want to sweat so I knew then that I’d return to it when I returned after work.
When I got home, some Linux work trying to isolate a problem on my relatively new Arch installation. After some troubleshooting I knew the lady was on her way home soon, so I put it down and went to belt out 30 minutes on the rower. 3:40 in I went in too hard and too heavy. I had put in the rest of the water bringing resistance up to “4”, from “2” earlier in the day. A couple of minutes after, I found some endurance within and was able to go 15 minutes straight, with another breather of about a minute and an additional 7 minutes to get to 2000 meters rowed.
I have no idea if that’s good or not, but it was just as she returned, so no matter. Will certainly continue. Low-impact, relatively easy to do while paying 1/4 attention to a show on the iPad.
For dinner we had the aforementioned stuffed peppers and pie. After a bit, we ate some desert of fried plantain with cinnamon and salt, with a little coconut milk from the can earlier in the week, followed by a small palm-full of raspberries.
Feel’s just as decadent as a baked desert. Another good day.
