Restarted Atkins last Monday. My little ketostix were turning purple by last Thursday. When I use them, I usually test in the morning as I drink lots of water during the day so they don't do much later on. I haven't lost any weight yet and haven't lost any inches but know that it will happen.
ANYWAY, Saturday night we went to a friends house. They had made grilled chicken, salad, and baked potatoes with the fixins. Yep - I could've skipped the potato....did I. Nope...dumb choice. I picked the smallest one they had. Sunday morning I woke up and used one of my little sticks - no purple. OY. BAD idea. I got right back on plan and by Monday morning I was showing purple again.
But did I learn my lesson?? Guess not! Monday evening I made a new chicken & pepperoni recipe which was good with salad and I made some breadsticks for my family. I made 8 of them....should have made 3 - one for my husband and my two kids. With 5 of them left sitting on the table, what did I do? Yep - you guessed it, I sneaked one and gobbled it up. ARGH! Dumb dumb. Wish I had a little dude on my shoulder that could bop me upside the head in those situations. AND you guessed it AGAIN, Tuesday morning = no purple.
I had a little bit of color this morning but have definitely learned my lesson. If you cheat - plan on 2 to 3 days to be able to even recover from it and get back down the right path!
