Rest/recovery day

Sunday has been my recovery day for quite some time now. Monday is the "first day of the week", both for my job and for my exercise schedule. So Sunday is the last day. And if I haven't achieved my goals by the end of Saturday, I don't try to push myself on Sunday. I either achieve my goals or I don't, but Sunday is a rest day. I think it would be too easy to exercise every day, even pushing myself extra hard trying to get that last mile in for the week, and that's a recipe for injury.

This is my last week in ketosis, for now. I find myself eating two meals a day, or even one, instead of three. Maybe there is something to this long-term satiety thing, but I don't feel it. I think I'm just less inclined to cook three meals a day. Before, a meal might easily be yogurt with granola and preserves, or some simple vegetable-only tacos. But now I'm cooking bacon or steak or eggs most of the time. I made a dozen hardboiled eggs yesterday, and several of them made my lunch today, but I would need a significant shift in my approach if I were going to do this long-term. In any event, I want to finish this week out strong. Next week? Roasted potatoes, tacos of some kind, and milk chocolate await.
