I will win 1 day at a time:
- Wake up latest 7:00 am - Woke up at 6:15 am
- Exercise 1 hour in the morning - Swam at 7:00 sharp
- Eat 16/8 starting 2:00 pm - Ate the usual protocol and LCHF lunch
- Exercise 1 hour in the afternoon - Walked to TTDI to change watch battery
- Eat LCHF at 8:00 pm - Ate 20 grams of rice but still within range
- Sleep at 11.00 pm - Slept 11:15 pm
That's the minimum to win the day.
I cannot sleep. So I had 3-in-1 coffee, and 4 peanut butter crackers. That is after I had some milk and it didn't work.
It's 1:00 am now and I am wide awake. I will force myself to be in bed by 3:00 am. There goes my plan to swim in the morning. Fine, I'll do the elliptical instead .
I should be comfortable using the elliptical. It is my training tool.
Sleep is topsyturvy with ketogenic diet. I cannot get sleepy at the right time. Thus I sleep late and wake up late. There goes the morning exercise. The only way to break the cycle is to exercise in the midday.
Damn, I am craving for Nicorette. I better resist it. At least I do something good this week.
--------------
February is a battle with inflammation and sleep. I ate plenty of carbs too. This is not good. I need to calibrate before end of month. Definitely I got to exercise on midday since I wake up late. Waking up late should not be an excuse not to exercise.
I got 3 1/2 months to go. At the very least I should cut Nicorette and 3-in-1 coffee.

Hah! I managed to wake up at 6.15 am today. Looked forward to the swim. It was still dark when I was at the swimming pool. 7:00 am is not a bad time to start swimming. There was hardly anybody around. I managed to swim 11 laps at 57 minutes. So next time without the watch I should be able to do 12 laps at 1 hour.
------------------
Yes, today I managed to exercise am/pm. That is quite an achievement considering I slept for 4 hours last night.
