Keto is Working.....

     We're at the marina, and I'm watching waves crashing up against the rocks and Hawaiians fishing for their favorite fish called Papio.  Steve's sitting out there, too, fishing with double rods.  When he catches fish, especially this favorite, he walks it over to his companions, and they're always very pleased.  Views from the marina are simply lovely.  The sky is bright blue.  Only a few clouds are hovering here and there, and off to my left is the mountain that we see from our Lanai, but it looks totally different from the marina.  Several boats are on their way in from a long day fishing, and others are just launching for a few hours of evening fishing.  There's a nice breeze coming off the water, and the sun is low in the sky on its way past the horizon.  I feel particularly good because I've gotten control of my weight which was creeping upward for a while, but now it's going steadily down again.  My success began with lau lau, and I'm delighted I started with this Waianae specialty.  It's my favorite Hawaiian food.  Steve likes poke, but I always hesitate to consume raw fish even though it would comply with my keto diet.  So I'm sticking with lau lau along with other favorites and making good progress.  My poor daughter and her family are going through a round of covid.  They're all feeling very ill, but we're particularly worried about her husband, who has a condition that makes covid quite dangerous.  It's very concerning because no walk-in clinics will take him, and she's unable to reach his doctor.  It's very interesting because you're told to do certain things, including begin taking medications if you have extenuating circumstances.  However, if it's impossible to contact your doctor or get an appointment anywhere, how can you possibly take precautions?  They're probably going to have to head to the emergency room to take care of this, and it's very discouraging.  I'm praying that he doesn't get any worse or have any complications.  In the meantime, it's roast chicken for dinner tonight.  We've been enjoying the crab we brought along occasionally and yesterday evening was one of those meals.  Our son-in-law loves the Dungeness crab, so we created a surf 'n" turf menu including grilled steak, crab, and several salads.  We had a great time feasting together.  We're still enjoying our Hawaii life very much.  We're doing lots of relaxing, fishing, and meals with the guys.  It's working out very well.  I'm especially happy that the keto has kicked in again, and it shows.  More good diet reports next week.  Hoping health reports are good as well.
