More rest

Did a lot of soft tissue work yesterday, just working on getting all the tightness out and getting ready for tomorrow. The rest has been very nice.

• Sleep: Good. Been a little tired in the afternoons.
• Nutrition: Good. My appetite has gone way up in the past few days I feel like. Definitely had some cravings tonight, but I think I just needed more calories. I am making more of an effort to avoid certain things like gluten and fructose now, and the next time I hit the grocery store I am going to make a few changes, mostly in that I am going to pick up some more starchy tubers. My carb need is definitely increasing, and I would like to have sources other than just fruit to satisfy that. I am still unsure of potatoes as far as my issue with kidney stones so I am just erring on the side of caution for now. I wrote in to Robb Wolf about the issue, hopefully I will get some good input on all of the contradictions of supposed "kidney stone prevention" diets. On another note, I think adding cheese in this week has upset my gut a little bit (granted it was standard swiss...pretty low quality). Been noticeably gassier and more irritated. I guess it could have been the kefir but I seemed to react fine to that, I like it a lot.
• Body: Feel pretty good. A little bit tight, but could have easily trained today. Did a 17 hr fast today and felt good with it energy-wise. I am a big fan the fasting idea, but definitely being mindful to avoid it when I am in cycles of hard training and/or high stress.
