Hello,
I started on Thursday evening, so this is day 3 for me. It's been smooth sailing and surprisingly easy for me. I like the shakes, etc. and seem to be able to keep flooding the water down. I sincerely am thinking of buying stock in Andrex though!
Last night, I got home from work about midnight. When I came in the house smelled wonderful!!! My son, in his infinite wisdom, had decided to 'help me out' by eating up the food. However, he didn't eat the perishables, NO, he defrosted the 6 special Donald Russell steaks from the freezer, and cooked them up for himself and his mates!!! The aroma was intoxicating. I could have killed him. I thought maybe this was an April Fool's joke. But no. Anyway, he thought better of it and took his mates out for a long walk with the dog. This left me home alone with this fabulous smell. Again, I could have killed him.
I don't know whether it was the smell or the anger (or both) but I had to eat something. And, of course, there was no steak left to scratch that particular 'itch'. I had some lettuce with mustard on it, then some pate on a spoon, then some peanuts...but no carbs, as such. Then the anger helped me to stop! I had a litre of water and went to bed.
This morning, I made him clean the kitchen with lemons to get rid of the Texas smokehouse smell that I love. I had my breakfast shake, (and loved it, btw) and guess what? I am finally in ketosis! :wow: Only a trace, mind you, but definitely changed the stick. I am tempted to weigh, but am trying to wait (weight) until I see my counsellor. My clothes feel looser, but I am so curious. Reading about everyobdy's successes keeps me going.
I find the site so very helpful. I get encouraged each time I come on it. And the before and after shots are so motivating! Yoo hoo hoo, I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo...
