snack (my deviation.... got to stop this) Poured a glass of Sunny Delight and drank a couple of swallows decided it was too sweet and gave it to my daughter. Ate an orange.

Bad day today, ate too many things off track.

Brunch: 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, bacon and spinach salad with balsamic vinegar/bacon dressing.
Snack: one chocolate chip cookie (Mrs. Fields)
Later snack: Strawberries, smoothy with chocolate protein powder and berries. Orange smoothy with ice cream my son made.
Dinner: steak and veggys small amount of mashed potatoes.

Really deviated badly today. Shouldn't even post this, but I do to keep myself honest. When the scale is up by two or three pounds in a few days and refuses to budge for days and days after I want to remember how far I went astray. The thing is that I didn't go for what I really wanted (chocolate), probably would have been a better choice than all the deviations that didn't satisfy.

Anyway planning to get back to strict induction tomorrow. In 3 more days I will be back in ketosis. Gotta start back from scratch.

Don't worry Sherry
 

I mean I know I only have 3.5 days of Induction under my belt (0r rather, my belly) but the great thing is that there is Induction to get back to and its miracle is the way it takes away (or has so far for me) that craving thing...
I think you are right, though, if you are too close to edge to clamber back, then best to eat the thing you really really want.

SO today on day 4 I have had
breakfast: tuna with mayonnaise, red pepper, and salad onions.
lunch: chicken leg, mayonnaise, asparagus

tonight: sauteed shrimp, cheese for dessert.

God, I'm RUBBISH in the holidays! Keep forgetting to take my supplements.

Yesterday:

BREAKFAST: 2 slices of Pepper-laced Gouda cheese, each topped with a spoonful of salsa.

LUNCH: bacon & grilled chicken caesar (with most of the croutons tracked down and removed).

DINNER: chicken/pepper stirfry (in coconut oil), feta salad, low carb DIY chocolate berry cheesecake.

....er, and several glasses of red wine - my friend came over for dinner, and he brought a bottle and a great big french baguette. I eschewed the bread, but I did join him in the wine.

Am gearing up for the weekend -- off to Pilates in a few minutes. Fay, you do have a good life over there in Bangkok, eh? It is very inspiring. Over here it is rainy and cold and the yellow dress I planned to wear to the wedding won't do.... I have been so thrilled to have lost 7 pounds that I almost forgot that I am still fat as a house! In my head I have become a slim yellow-dress wearing sylph, but in real life I am still dumpy me.
haven't had a drink in 8 days -- jeez. Ruby

Woman, if I were presently 182lb I would be DANCING IN THE STREETS, so don't give me this "fat as a house" nonsense! Pish and tosh and fiddlesticks! However, I'm sorry to hear that the yellow dress isn't presently wearable. That is indeed of the suck. (I didn't touch alcohol for the first couple of months, but now I'm allowing it on special occasions. Um. Although increasingly I suspect that my play rehearsals are going to benefit from four or five vodkas...)

Meanwhile, Today's Foodstuffs so far:

BREAKFAST: Leftover chocolate berry cheesecake. (...what? Don't look at me like that!)

LUNCH: Cold chicken satay. The last remnant of leftover chocolate berry cheesecake. Spiced macadamia nuts.

DINNER:....?
