I'm going to be working an unusual shift at work this week, so my entry for today is earlier than usual.
Today started very early; around 0330. I'm getting back into my morning routine; supplements, stretching, etc. I'm still hesitant to do full-body weight training until my right shoulder is stronger, but I did manage a 1.7 mile walk carrying my folding bike. Breakfast cleared out some more space in my fridge and freezer; with a bit of luck, once I shift to keto, the only things in my freezer will be the frozen seafood I use as cat treats and the jar containing all my food fermentation cultures in vials. The fridge will be a bit more crowded; large pitcher of water (it is summer, after all), butter and cream for the shakes, the shakes themselves, and probably a few stray condiments like hot sauce and coconut aminos.
It's not so much that I dislike having varied foods available, but A. I want to minimize the temptation to buy and eat foods that will break keto, but even more than that B. I want to see how comfortably I can live with a minimum of fridge and freezer space. I've put an empty cardboard box into the freezer to simply take up space; I'll like add more of them to the freezer and do the same in the fridge. The door won't need any boxes; I'll just takes the trays out and put them in the crisper drawer.
This is partly out of curiosity, but mostly out of an interest into moving into smaller accommodations; a travel trailer, a small RV, a van, that sort of thing. Can I really be reasonably comfortable year-round with a fridge so small it can easily run off of half a solar panel? Maybe. Smaller units are obviously more space-efficient, but they're also cheaper, they take less energy, they're generally superior. If I find I can conform myself to their capacity. And then, for the rare occasions I need more space, I can just use a cooler and a few bags of ice.
