Today I slept in late, and had very bizarre dreams about having a stereotypical 50's style father that was verbally and physically abusive when I stood up to him. Of course, he turned away from me when he started hitting me, so apparently he was double jointed or something. I don't know what physical abuse from a father figure that literally won't face you signifies, but it can't possibly be good. Nobody told me that one of the side effects of this diet was disturbing dreams. If it's not some bizarro world Oedipal thing, it's overly explicit dreams involving exes I'd rather not even speak to. Am I sleeping deeper on this diet? Does diet affect the subconscious? So many questions. All I know is that I'm remembering more dreams, and they're more negative than before.
Today I took a stroll to cash a check and activate my new debit card. On the way back, I found Keto-stix at another pharmacy to replace the ones left at my parent's house. Another pharmacist looked at me like I was from neptune when I asked for salt tablets, so apparently these semi mythical items are harder to find than I thought.
Further along on my walk, I checked out the new gym on Detroit, and decided that I liked the vibe and the price. It's a Planet Fitness, and apparently their thing is to have no judgments and cater to general fitness. Since most of what I want to do is work on the treadmill, I think it's a good place for me. The idea of doing some weight training is appealing to me as well. I haven't lifted in almost a decade, but I enjoyed it when I did it. I have a first training class tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be on my way. I need to find my other tennis shoe first. I think having one shoe is almost worse than none. When you can't find either shoe, it means that they're most likely together in a fairly logical place. If you can only find one, it means it got moved, and thus could be in a truly odd place. *update* While shoe #1 was under my dresser in my room, shoe #2 was in the living room, between the TV stand and my house plant, behind some of my roommates gaming stuff.
I haven't eaten dinner yet today, and I'm not horribly hungry, but I'm pretty sure I should eat something. I have plenty of filet left over from my trip, and I know it won't last. I never thought I'd skipping meals, let alone when I'm on such a reduced calorie diet. I don't know if it's some sort of weird control mechanism, where in I reject the confines of the diet by not even eating what I'm allowed, or if the ketosis is really kicking in, but my actual physical hunger is simply very low.

I go to a Planet Fitness, it's really great. Most of the people at mine are fat too, or at least ugly or old, so I don't feel bad or like anyone's staring at me. And the ones that aren't will still joke about not wanting people to look at their butt while they're using the Butt Blaster machine (yes this is a real machine.)
