Keto Beginning - Day Four
(I'm a little late, but here goes) Today was great....ish I was feeling good for the first time in 3 weeks. I wasn't tired. I wasn't feeling sick to my stomach. I had lots of energy. Everything was good until lunch. I made my meals for lunch and dinner with the expectation that I was going to feel crappy and not be able to stomach food, so back to the soup for lunch and dinner with some nuts in between. The reason I started to feel unwell was that first thing in the morning I noticed my boss is back from holidays. I asked him if he had time to talk, I wanted to talk to him about everything that has been going on with me, my health and work. By lunch we still hadn't had our chat, so I think the anxiety riled me up after lunch making me sick. And when he finally said it was time to have said chat, my heart rate went from around 74 to 119 real fast! I cried, I talked, he listened. He was VERY supportive of everything I had to say. He was so open and understanding, stating that mental health is linked to physical health and that its so important for me to take care of myself. I told him I wanted to temporarily reduce my hours. Maybe 4 days, or 2 hour less shifts. He was 100% okay with that. He was so understanding and thoughtful and helpful. It's like nothing I've ever experienced in a work place. I'm crying typing this because of what he did. We discussed the work side of issues and he agreed with this things I said. It was amazing. I couldn't ask to work for a better person. So my food for the day was blended coconut coffee, almonds, pumpkin soup, pumpkin soup and more almonds. My ketones were 1.2 first thing in the morning and I'm down 6.7lbs!!
