I made keto pancakes today, from a recipe I found online. They were so tasty, I made some more small ones I can take with me while riding. So easy!!
I'm still on keto and in ketosis and really liking it. I have found myself a little constipated lately and NO, it has nothing to do with a lack of fibre (that old addage is basically shit for many), it's due to a lack of eating more fruits of the good low carb kind. I've been eating a lot of lettuce lately, but that's not enough and even though it's really gross outside, I went up to the store and picked up some cucumbers, tomatoes and avocadoes, which are all classified as fruits, which get things moving quite nicely. Is that gross? Being constipated is gross.
I haven't ridden since last Sunday, when I did 47km and it was a hot one. That was the day I rode clipped for the first time and I sure felt it for a couple of days after that, due to the muscles I've not been using in flat pedal cycling. My adductors are bothering me yet again, which is causing some pain above my knee, just to the inside of the leg. Seems I'm getting enough electrolytes, but not stretching or strengthening these muscles that I appear to be using a lot more than I thought, since I started riding faster and harder. I'm going to have to put my gym membership to use this year and use the adduction machines more, plus some more strength training and Yoga.
I bought some kinesiology tape for my knee and decided to check on that before using it and it seems the stretching and strengthening is working and the pain is gone. I will have to remember to do this during my rides, but not over stretching or I'll use up any energy stores.
I'm hoping tomorrow (Saturday) of this long weekend, which is a sunny one is cooler so that I can go and ride on my final 3 days of holidays that I have left.
