Pot roast, green beans, cabbage, chicken about 4 ways, and a salad bar and sugar free soft serve ice cream. I was happy!

Yesterday's dinner was a fiasco (or should I say non-dinner?).

Soccer night, very hungry, grabbed some VERY BAD snacks on way out the door: about 8 doritos nacho chips....and ate the leftover mac & cheese on ds's plate! YIKES Can we say carb overload (and it was only about 1/3 cup).

I was out the rest of the evening, so nothing more went in my mouth. The good news is my calories were very low yesterday which may have compensated...cuz I am still in ketosis....and I checked twice and the scale is reading 195 ..and all time low. I am hoping to get to my goal of 185 by dr appt on Oct 23rd.

Maybe the exercise is kicking in....will have to jump on treadmill today, as an outdoor walk would make me soaking wet!

Needless to say I am starving today:

Breakfast:
2 eggs (1.2)
4 slices bacon (.8)
cream (.5)
=2.5

Lunch (very late as I was out all pm )
1.5 oz edam cheese (.5)
flaxmeal muffin (3.5)
decaf w/cream (1)
=5

Dinner out (Red Lobster)
prime rib
lobster (1)
shrimp/crab (1)
peas (5)
butter (0)
ceasar salad (3)
=10

Total = 17.5.....

Looking forward to long weekend!

Froufy

Are you all counting net carbs? or total carbs?

Froufy - I wish my exercise would kick in! Although this is only my first full week back to it! And I am sore so I am sure there is some water retention in the muscles!
