Trusting in you guys’ advice, yesterday I brought my salt shaker and bottle of olive oil with me to work.
In the morning, I ran trails for about 90 minutes carrying two bottles of salted water. After easing through lead-legs, my body felt relaxed and my mood felt fine. My running form strangely seemed to feel more visible to my running mind and I was able to engage certain muscles that I often have a hard time locating in my gait cycle.
Then I got in the sauna for 20 minutes and noticed both an increase in sweat rate and heavier sweat droplets when compared to a few weeks ago.
Then throughout my shift on the bike, I kept my effort levels relatively even, spinning easy gears but not slacking by any means. At around 2pm, I took a few tablespoons of olive oil, some boiled eggs salted. Then at around 4-5pm, more olive oil. Then at around 6pm, one last hit of olive oil.
After my shift, I picked up a few things from the grocery store. Almost always, I cannot help myself and snack on something on the drive home from work and then sort of snack INTO dinner and snack after dinner or go back for seconds. Potentially as a result of staying on top of my fat intake throughout the day yesterday, I did not snack at all. I got home, unpacked, showered, swept the kitchen and put the laundry in, and then slowly made dinner, sat, ate dinner, watched “The Magic Pill” and then felt wonderfully sleepy and went to sleep. Overall yesterday was a big success for me.
Still unsure about how much protein I should be taking in. I hit 30g carbs yesterday but it seemed to be a natural result of eating to satiety with a caloric burn of 2050/cal (BMR) + 3200/cal (exercise) in the day.
