Well, I wasn't kicked out of ketosis, but the scale went down to trace instead of moderate.  No biggies, probably something I ate at In Japan last night.  I tried to keep everything Keto - steak and lobster work, but there was some sort of sauce on the lobster that I didn't expect and it was sweet.  I tried to wipe it all off of it, but it was probably what sent me back a bit.  

The scale showed me teetering on the verge of 11 pounds down, so regardless of the ketosis stage, I'm still going.  The folks here tolerate me and my diet, thankfully.  I'll make secondary food if I have to - make them something and make me something else. Or, I can usually just make the same recipe for everyone, I just separate the recipe at the point any carb laden ingredients need to be added.  

For example, I want spaghetti this coming week.  I cannot eat regular pasta and I balk at paying $30 for a box of "keto" version. But, there is a recipe for noodles made out of mozzarella cheese and egg yolks. That's it, that is the extent of the ingredients. There is quite a bit of work in making it, but to me it's worth it.  Otherwise, I am just taking spaghetti sauce and dumping it on keto friendly bread. I am fortunate that Walmart carries fully 3 versions of Keto bread.

If a recipe has potatoes, I make it with them, I just don't eat the potatoes.  There are ways around most everything.  Anyway, day 6 is almost over and tho I am not necessarily seeing any results, the scale is definitely showing a steady decline.  There will be a plateau sooner or later and I will probably go on a water fast at that point - nothing but water - for a couple of days.  I'm motivated this time around to dump this fat.  It's just gotten excessive and I can't deal with it. I'm trying to get down to 200 pounds before doing a "cheat day".  That will take months, at least.  And yes, I can make it months without cheat days.  I've done it before, several times over. As long as my motivation stays high enough, I can do it.

Oh, definitely when I start getting some revenues coming in that take the park above and beyond the monthly expenses, I am going to use the revenues to build a glamping site.  This would be somewhere around a 20X20 large glamping tent a wood deck approximately 30X40 in size.  I'm done thinking about it, it's something I want to try, Glamping is sweeping across the country and if you can do it, you should try it.

Well, I have the land, which is most people's major obstacle.  I've been trying to figure out the electric part of it - this structure would be put in the rear part of the property well away from the RV sites. The only thing I can come up with is solar panels.  The utilities are always the most expensive part, I am finding.  Glamping is luxury camping - there is electricity, a shower and a bathroom, the latter 2 being outdoor.  

There is nothing here that makes you rich overnight - or even ever makes you rich. It gives you an income that you can more than comfortably live off of, but it's a long term plan, not an overnight thing.  Glamping sites charge hotel rates.  This isn't nickle and dime stuff and if you can keep it full most of the time, your investment is paid off in a year or less.  Glamping is not a dream, it's a goal. I have given considerable thought to it and with 6 to 8 grand investment, well maybe a bit more if solar is involved,  I can find out if it's truly the pot of gold that people are claiming it is. I likely would make it very luxurious, I don't want half-@$$ed anything with something that people expect to find an elegant setting. 

There are so many things I want to do with this land....but besides loans and going back to work to finance such loans, I can think of no other ways to acquire money unless there is "free" federal money up for the taking. There must be something there, you don't have trillions of dollars budgets and not have perhaps small business grants or low cost loans?  

Back to earth, I have stuff to deal with that doesn't cost anything more than what I've already shelled out. So, tomorrow, I'll take ibuprofen and go over there and try to get something done.
