Hi everyone!!
Well today is day #12 for me and it has been going great overall. However, last night as I was putting my dinner in Fitday I had a bit of a shock
, followed by anxiety
but now I am okay
I am very careful about measuring everything but last night I decided to make a taco salad for dinner. I used 1.5 cup of romaine since I had already had 3/4 cup of cucumbers and mushrooms between breakfast and lunch. For my 3/4 cup of "other" veggies I used one chopped up Roma tomato(about 1/2 cup) and 2 tablespoons of Pace chunky salsa (no sugar in ingredients, 1 carb per tablespoon. I then added 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 5 chopped up black olives, cooked ground beef, a tablespoon of sour cream and about 2 tablespoons of a mashed up avocado.
Anyway, I put all this in and wound up with 22 net carbs for the day due to the high carb content of the tomato, avocado, and black olives. This was the first time I had gone over 20 and I am so hopeful that this was not enough to push me out of ketosis. I still felt the same today (thirsty despite drinking 93 ounces of water per day, metal taste in my mouth, minimal appetite) which I took as a good sign.
I have made a mental note to self about tomatoes, avocados and black olives being on my personal watch out list and will not let this happen again. I took me forever to go to sleep last night worrying about it.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
I am looking SO forward to the weigh-in coming on Saturday--this is the first time in my adult life that I am actually EXCITED about weighing myself

Aug Goal! 155
between me and my system if I do not lose at least a few pounds. My clothes definitely fit looser...
