This is an odd day. There was some uncertainty to the day. Friend in hospital, some other unusual events. My friend seems to be doing OK but with the disruption I did not plan to stay on my diet.

Being that I did not plan to stay on diet I ate more Brazil nuts, pecans and Atkins bars than usual (one or two Atkins "Endulge.") I also put Half-N-Half in my coffee.

I ate pork in the early afternoon but did not record the weight because I was officially off diet. I ate corn beef iaround 10 PM, 12 oz. estimated.  I ate a couple of Atkins "Endulge" bars.

I don't usually take PM ketosis readings but for some reason I did and to my surprise, the strip read 'moderate.'

I am again off-diet because of the birthday party and leftovers.

Hope to plow through the leftovers by Tuesday and start anew.

Weight 216 lb.!!! I kept getting on and off the scale and it actually read 215. Then it read 216. Back and forth. I will stick with the higher number which is still my lowest weight in 25 or so years. I feel pleased. Ketosis: Trace to small. Go figure. Weight loss should correspond to ketosis but that does not necessarily seem to be the case. Also, my ketosis should be higher this AM than yesterday AM given what I had eaten the 24 hours prior. AM: Black coffee and a handful of mixed nuts. 1:30 PM: 10 oz. turkey with sriracha mayonnaise. NOTE: Dinner party tonight and I will go off-diet. Hope it's not one of these ridiculous overnight weight gains I have experienced in the past. TBC

AM Weight: If I did weigh myself, I forgot to record it. Two days in a row. Ketosis: Small to moderate. That pleased me because I didn't know if my bedtime snack might throw off the ketosis.

Running to store for all sorts of things and then cleaning for 7 hours (and the place is still dirty. sigh) with a one hour dinner break from 5 PM to 6 PM. A drank a morning cup of black coffee and one cup in the evening. I ate a small amount of mixed nuts (4-5 oz. estimate) and one Atkins Endulge (Or is it Indulge? The one with the faux caramel that tastes as good as real caramel. At 5 PM I ate 26 oz. of roasted pork. It was good.
