...I really did I ate real cake with sugar and flour and everything....and you know what - it tasted GREAT!
We were at the hotel last night for a tasting of the catered meal for dd's upcoming bat-mitzvah - and we were served an entire meal which I mostly nibbled on)....okay I ate the whole salad (oil and vinegar dressing) and we taste tested 3 different types of chicken: in white wine sauce w/mushrooms, in marsala sauce and florentine (spinach and cheese)...I took a couple bites of each - altho I loved the florentine (very carb friendly)...we decided to go with the white wine sauce as many people don't like spinach.... veggies and potatoes on the side of course (I had a bit of asparagus)..and did I mentioned the complimentary glass of white wine???
Then came 3 desserts to our table for tasting: tiramisu (to die for and I had to control myself from eating the whole thing), a strawberry shortcake (quite yummy) and a peach torte (not my favorite).....so I had a few bites of each of those...along with my decaf w/cream. I was expecting a lightening bolt to come down and strike me from the sky but instead I ended up with a TUMMY ACHE when I got home - no kidding! I'm sure it was the "forbidden food" that did this to me. Had a trip to the washroom, and a bit of tummy pain (nothing drastic), but I can see how overindulging can make one sick - as I have heard from others!
So believe it or not I am still in ketosis and trying to stay in control - I don't seem to have major cravings or anything so this is good...weight is hovering between 186.5 and 187 and has been like this for the past few days!
Karen and fullfig - good luck with the shopping. I hope you both find something suitable and cute to fit your new smaller bodies.
Star - Sorry to hear you are not feeling well! HOpe you get better soon!
Leens - congrats on your "good eating"...I should use you as my inspiration and example!
Jina - way to go on another pound down - and I have also been a victim of the "attack of the macadamia nuts" so I know what you're talking about!
Kim - don't worry about the numbers so much - remember other good things are happening even tho the numbers don't change!
SBMama - time for some devilled eggs? or egg salad? or omellettes? or crustless quiche?...or heck - just fry up that bacon and enjoy!
Lekker - welcome to the group and hope we continue to hear from you. Good luck with induction...let us know how you're doing!
Just hang in there for a few more days and you'll feel great and won't be controlled by the carbs!
And...we also have nasty wet snow here today - I had to dig thru the hall cupboard locating everyone's (too small) boots, and find a brush for my car. Expecting lower temp this pm with freezing rain pellets (oh something to look forward to!)...and probably iced streets by the time I drive home!
Back to work! Oh ya...cafetaria lunch today - they had chicken legs (cacciatore, with some tomato sauce) and SPINACH (I asked for double spinach, hold the rice)...and it was very yummy!
