Okay, so not technically bulletproof coffee. I don't have any "brain oil" or whatever that weird MCT oil is called, and I do not intend to get any. For $45 a quart, it better cure cancer. So I really just had coffee with butter mixed in. And I was ready to be disgusted. But if you want caffeine and about a third of a pound of fat every day, you experiment. And I am glad that I did. This will be a go-to while I try keto. It's far too early to get any real kind of bead on whether it's working, but that's expected.
Today was relatively light; stretching and a run a little over 4 miles. During the first mile, I felt like I was going to crash for sure. But, slow and steady, I got it done. Saturday will be a real test; a 10-mile-ish bike ride followed by a run, probably 2 or 3 miles.
I also put the last ingredients into my fire cider. Now it's just a matter of waiting a month, straining it, letting it settle, and drawing it off. I also bought 24 ounces of fresh raspberries, which are dehydrating now. A pair of bananas will also get dried, once they're nice and brown. Both the raspberries and the bananas are going to go into separated jars with some watered-down grain alcohol to (hopefully) yield decent extract. I would like to have made chocolate extract, but I would find decent cacao nibs. Monkfruit in the Raw is an experimental zero-carb sweetener; hopefully, whipped with a bit of extract and some heavy cream, it will yield a zero-carb mousse. Time will tell.
Tomorrow, stretching and strength training.
