🍽️ I’m so ‘over’ eating.
Yesterday was an eating day, but, also stressful because I stood in front of nearly 100 people giving a live demonstration of complex computer programming. If I mistype one line, and can’t quickly figure out what mistake I made, I not only embarrass myself, but I disappoint the people paying me good money. Anyway, I got through the day, but calories were almost 4k. The carbs were nearly a MONTHS worth of carbs at over 260.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to ‘control my eating’ so I didn’t try. The only way to stop it would have been to declare a ‘no solid food fast’. Problem was they were paying me to host a lunch that afternoon. This would be a case where a person would have a drink, I don’t drink, so I had the Churros…
I mean, I could still keep eating, but, the compulsive nature of it is tiring. Basically, I’m trying to 🍩 ‘fill the hole in the donut’. Not only can't this not be done, because the hole metaphysically ‘grows’ the more you try to fill it, but, it doesn’t need to be filled. 🧘🏾 This is what fasting teaches me.
🏋🏾♂️ I hope to put all his glycogen to good use in the gym today when I get home I have been lifting 160lbs. I am going to try to do 170-180lbs today.
Next week I am going to consume fat bombs during the day and have a protein shake at night. Dr. Jason Fung, in a recent podcast
https://unbeatablemind.com/jason-fung/ ,
indicated that high amounts of protein can still trigger an insulin response. So, consuming massive amounts of it may not have been helping me. Looks like I may have to remove that can of protein powder off my desk at work.
Mostly, the podcast reminded me that the BIGGEST issue is ‘snacking all day’. I need to have at least 6 hour stretches of the day where I consume only water. So, I will see how the fat bombs work, but if they cause any issues I will go back to only drinking only Green Tea during the day.
This is starting next week. This week I have too much travelling and unusual schedules…
