Today, I slept in. Didn’t rouse until 1PM, but had a few moments of conciousness spent researching Dr. Google for my heart. 48 hours of this can’t be a good sign? But the weather is absolutely outstanding today, and when I was feeling decent I asked my girlfriend if she’d like to go for a walk.
She was all set to start prepping lunch, and had cleaned most of the ktichen and living room… such a sweetheart letting me sleep in. I asked her if she had eaten yet, and she hadn’t. Was planning on the lunch…but she acquiesced and nuked a compliant sausage to fuel up before the walk.
We walked down to the local hospital (unrelated, it’s just the simplest route to take) and back, and I kept an eye on my heart rate. While my resting/standing heart rate is higher than usual, my walking rate is great… 102 was the highest it hit. My watch tells me 98 was my average. How is it that cooking in the kitchen at home can push me above 102 and average of 95? Walking is assuredly more effort…
Anyway, I was planning on fasting until nightfall, to give my digestion a break but the bananas from our food delivery were ripe and ready. Potassium couldn’t hurt right? So I ate one of those, a handful of raspberries and blueberries and some almond butter. Didn’t hurt. Didn’t help.
For dinner we stumbled into a “Ramen” due to some soft-boiled eggs that were intended to be hard boiled. And it was a great accident. Simple to cook, and the base was as good as it could have been for lacking Soy. I want to try to make proper Ramen when we’re off of this diet. It wasn’t too challenging to do and tasted great. The noodles were cabbage, but we couldn’t find good napa as the recipe called for an went for savoy. A bit too soft but tasty none-the-less.
Will see how I feel tomorrow…
