Day Six: Meat and yoga

January 5, 2021 By Shannon Hayes Off


My back is still causing me some problems, and I am being very careful to let it heal fully before doing anything strenuous. I did however add some very low-impact, simple exercise to Keto for the first time. I’m doing a beginner yoga video to stretch my back a bit (is streamed on both Amazon and Netflix), coupled with 30 minutes using an ‘under-the-desk’ mini-cycle I picked up several months ago to use while working. Won’t be anything great, but better than nothing.

The meatloaf came out pretty good, but not great.  I’m still going to work on tweaking it a bit to get better flavor out of it.  The recipe below is slightly altered over what we had tonight.  I’m going to keep adjusting until I’m satisfied with it.  I’m used to using a lot of breadcrumbs allowing a lot more options of things I can put in without it falling apart. We had it with Cauliflower Mash (with fresh parsley added during the food processor part). I might try mixing in spinach next time too.
