Congrats to all who have lost weight this week....I am still hanging in.
TOM has arrived, and as usual for some obscure reason this seems to knock me out of ketosis? Very strange, but have read of a few others who have this same reaction. Leens as you mentioned about not weighing ourselves, for me it is sometimes not testing with the sticks...like today. It does depress me to see a "negative' reading, and in the back of my mind a little voice says "you're out of ketosis...so why bother?"
I am excited tho, cuz while I usually barely lose weight the two weeks prior to TOM, I usually do lose a couple of pounds once it is over...this keeps me going. I hope this cycle provides further confirmation of this phenomenon!
Went to Sister in law's for big thanksgiving turkey feast. I did encounter some problems and learned some rules. Never assume that the veggies that will be served with the turkey are going to be atkins friendly/low carb. Along with the turkey came: stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, peas and corn!
What's a girl to do?
I had LOTS of turkey with a tablespoon of gravy, a spoon of stuffing, and a tablespoon each of peas and corns...I'm sure everyone (14 guests) thought I was some kind of veggie hating CARNIVORE!...
Dessert was PIES...but I did bring along a huge bowl of sf chocolate mousse for sharing, which I really enjoyed....coffee was served with MILK, no cream, and I did have one glass of red wine.
All in all I did pretty well considering, and am still full so barely ate any dinner. Still drinking more water, and hoping not too much damage done.
So should I weigh myself tomorrow or not? I will confess that I am scale-obsessed and find it VERY HARD not to hop on every morning. I agree with Leens tho that if it does affect you in a negative way, sitting it out might be preferred! I try not to feel guily if I eat something off plan...just figure I'm only human, and this is a lifelong change and it's okay to falter a bit along the journey.
