No stretching, no exercise except a short walk to go buy a few things, no weight lifting, nothing. Sundays, as always, are my day of no exercise; just recovery. According to garmin connect, I burned over 5,700 calories yesterday, and that leads to the heart of the issue I'm having with the keto diet. Even at relatively moderate levels of exercise, I'm struggling to consume as many calories as the diet says I should. Particularly when it comes to fats. Mixing butter into coffee and tea, eating chocolate mousse that's mostly just whipped cream, it's just not adding up. I'm going to keep going for at least another week, but if I find my weight lifting performance is starting to suffer, I'm going to look into either seriously modifying or abandoning the experiment entirely.
I packed up the puzzle for my niece and nephew; one brown parcel and 16 individual envelopes. If just one of them gets lost in the post, a significant chunk of the puzzle will be missing forever (the company does not replace individual pieces). That makes me wonder about a business idea I had some time ago. Imagine getting an old map case and filling it with assembled puzzles, then offering to sell individual pieces to people that have lost them. You could probably charge a fair bit for a piece; I expect most people would pay half the cost of a new puzzle. All you need to do is sell two pieces and you can buy a new copy to keep things going. Seems like the perfect business to employ a few elderly folks.
Anyway, tomorrow is Memorial Day. A holiday, which right now isn't really a significant thing. Back to the routine; stretch, strength, cardio. The usual. I am running rather low on fire cider; I may have to break in to the new batch before it's fully aged. I may also have to look into making it in larger amounts; a very large glass vessel would be in order.
