Day 2

Started the day by monitoring my weight (118.6kg) and the sugar level (12.7 mmol/L).
Uploading few songs on my bluetooth headset. Kind of AC/DC (Shook me all night long start wonderfully, the drum, to initiate a workout) and Mozart Requiem. Lovely but hopefully not depressing, or Vivaldi Winter, and others stuff such as Klaus Nomi or Josh Groban. Alejate or Let me fall are just wonders. Grace Jones, I’ve Seen That Face Before, will be played in loop few time, I bet. Oscar Benton with Bensonhurst Blues, or UB40 Food For Thought too.
Will see what will work well to accompany the walk to come. The city will never be more than 15 min away, and a coffee along the way will certainly do.

Just after the walk, checked the weight and sugar. As I drinked 1L of water during the walk, the net water loss is of 118.6-116.9+1 = 2.7kg of sweat. Blood sugar dropped temporarily by 33%

Workout today: 28’794 steps, 79 floors, 22.14km, 4’060 kcal, 276 active minutes.

Along the way, bought drinkable probiotics. Indeed, remembered that a balanced intestine flora have an impact on the weight loss outcome. As can’t tell wether it is currently balanced or not, just took it. Fibers supplementa as well. Seems to be an important element to a diet.

As for food, I changed my strategy. Instead of setting a kcal intake first, I choosed to eat what I want, and then calculate the kcal intake it represent. Then, to look at what to change to reduce the value, if it is higher than 1’800 kcal. I’m also sticking on a 4h windows eating period, eating nothing during the remaining 20h. Really easy so far. Maybe because while walking, I’m not thinking of it. The mind goes somewhere else. To the cows I would cross, the little hill ahead, the music or the next pause, removing probably some eating habits, not linked to hunger. It’s like rediscovering what hungry means.

Food intake:

Total kcal: 2’050 kcal

Cashews represents almost 45% of the total intake. Will spend the kcal somewhere else next time. But no more hungry. That’s nice.

It took 6h for my legs to felt great again. The after walk muscles and foot pain just faded away. Now, great feeling. Few feet blisters, but nothing otherwise. Can now lazily drink tea, watch documentaries or movies, and sleep. Can’t wait to know what will be my weight and blood sugar end of Feb.
