August Challenge Day 2

Day 2 down on the August Challenge.  Took the entire day off from exercise.  I woke up early again today, which made me not want to go on the Club ride.  So I relaxed all day, ran errands, took a nap, and watched Watchman.  The movie was good, but just okay.
For my diet, Marc ordered Pizza Hut, so I joined in with a 10-piece of Traditional All-American wings.  According to the PH website, no carb, and no sugars.  I'm guessing they fried them in canola oil, which is not preferable, but not a diet breaker.  Any intake of carbs would keep me from achieving keto-adaption, which is the goal of this ZC diet.  I had eggs for breakfast, and cream with my coffee.  While we were waiting for the wings, I swigged some heavy whipping cream (HWC), ate one andouille sausage and took a bite of cheese.  The wings were really tasty.  I ate as much of the meat as I could, including the stuff on the ends.  I tried to nearly clean the bones.  Then movie (3+ hours), then nap.  After my nap, I had my grass-fed ribeye cooked bleu rare.  It was pretty tasty.  I ate the fat first, which is not as tasty as the lean.  But, it's ribeye, which is not all that lean anyway.  I cooked up my pound of ground chuck and one of my older NY Strips, so that's all ready for tomorrow.

I'm getting to like the beef.  I've always loved burgers, and I may buy some Bubba or Angus on my mid-week shopping.  I also think I'm going to roast a chicken.  I love chicken, so I'll get some.  With me being so new to this way of eating (WOE), I'm really going to listen to my tastes more than anything.  As long as it says within the rules.

Not feeling terribly low energy, like I was yesterday.  The nap helped, along with lounging all day.  I am planning on going for a walk/run tomorrow morning, and then back to the gym on Tuesday.  Also, tomorrow I get to see what Sisson has for his August challenge, finally.  There are some prizes to be given away, so I will try for some.  Hopefully he will be giving away something good!

As far as hunger goes, I was never really starving.  I was hungry waiting for the wings, which is why I ate the sausage.  Just eggs don't keep me full for very long.  And now, as I'm writing this, I'm a bit hungry.  But I still want to lose some body fat, so being a little hunger before bed is no big deal, at least for now.

I read some of the ZC forum today.  There are many of them who only eat beef and water.  Wow.  That is pretty restrictive.  I'm not sure if I can stay like that for any significant length of time.  But that's okay.  They all say start with the rules that Bear put out, and see what works for you.  So that's what I'm doing.  Sounds good to me.

See ya tomorrow.
