Wednesday

Into ketosis yesterday morning, and right back out of it.  Three meals (unusual for me), mashed potatoes and mousse at lunch (office party), chips and salsa at dinner, chocolate after.  That's all it took.  Fasting today - on purpose, so I intend to go until dinner.  See if that helps.  150.2 this morning.  Could be worse.

Here's yesterday:

• tea with cream
  
• scrambled eggs
  
• bacon
  
• the usual supplements
  
• salad with Italian dressing
  
• a tomato with dressing, balsamic vinegar, and mozzarella on it
  
• pork loin, slightly gravied, probably a roux
  
• about 2 Tablespoons mashed potatoes
  
• Chocolate mousse with bits of cake clinging to it (it was embedded in the cake; I was trying to eat around that)
  
• chips and salsa
  
• guacamole
  
• chicken fajitas without tortillas - guac, sour cream, pico de gallo
  
• a little green chile
  
• about 6-8 chocolate blueberries
  

So not a great day.  My intent, through Mardi Gras, is to make most of my dinners along the meat-and-leaves lines - either a main meat dish with salad, or meat in a big-ass salad.  I'm probably still going to buy a Spanx, though - just in case.
