So 235.4. Fricking thrilled to jump below 236. No special occasions, no cheat meals looming until son't birthday on June 17th so full steam ahead! So maybe there's something about this eat all the bacon & eggs you want thing! (within reason of course. lol) it really is the perfect level and proportions of carb, fat and protein pretty much. I had a good walk, but wasn't a work day so..Nothing exceptional. I found a new neighborhood with a bunch of interesting houses and pathways around the backs of them which is like finding hidden treasure in my boring suburbia. 20 minutes away are some of the most beautiful paths, hills & parks you have even seen. What do we have for a dog park in my little city? What looks like an asphalt tennis court with a steel fence around it. I kid you not.

Anyhew, work & walk. Contemplating my last 2 days of employment at this point in my life. Mixed emotions as I loved working for the small company I did for 3 years. And it took me 5 years to find that job as being my age, having put 32 years of sweat & blood into my prior career, its scary to think I will be out of work again. (And can't afford to be). Thanks Coronavirus:(. I'm looking for jobs quite a bit but at almost 59 now with a bad back & knee, the options are very limited. I spent 32 successful years at a desk, much of it as a manager, but definitely running into age, education (no degree) gender and physical barriers to employment. And 2012 to 2014 I went to a very dark place trying to find employment. No responses from HR in the submit your resume' by email only world so you can't even get interview feedback, everything seems to be must have prior experience unless you are a student applying for a summer job, driver jobs are mostly moving to commission and all the risk on the employee end. I need the work income to get through about another 6 years. I feel somedays like I'm in water fighting against a strong current. I know I need to look for work..I need to be careful how much I look and what I apply for to preserve my mental state. I hope that makes sense & you don't mind me sharing.

Now, on the bright side, I should qualify for the Canadian Govt Coronavirus financial relief for 4 months which gives me breathing room, more than helps me pay my bills and perfect time of the year to be off, take a mental break & keep working on making the best me physically & mentally that I can.

Back to food plans..Today I had a carnivore feed, I call it. my airfryer almond chicken (very flavourful & juicy...but..I felt the almond is not my fave. Next batch I will use bacon rind crumbs instead. I'm not a huge chicken fan at the best of times so its got to be really good). I added bacon strips and sesame sauce to drip on the chicken? So why that mix? to get my macro balance. I really feel I want to be around 100g of fat & 10 carbs per day to work best for my plan.

Tomorrow is my first attempt at keto grilled cheese sandwich. Again a few strips of bacon will play a role to get my fat level high enough. With my keto pickles.

Happy Hump Day. A good day to get over whatever humps you may be facing (Mine right now is no wifi, even after 5 hours + on chat last night with my IP, but thats another story for another day!)
