Dear Period.
Today is the first day that I went off track. You know. Out with family and friends and someone ordered appetizers and there I was drinking whiskey and eating baked Brie-slathered bread. The kind you only really order out. You know the kind.
After a while it dawned on me that I was wrecking my diet.
What astonished me was that I hadn't even realized it. I had been so good for one week. Saying no thank you to desserts, eating meat for breakfast and almonds for snack and salads for lunch. Eating avocados and eggs. Eating coconut oil and pork rinds. No more bananas and no more potatoes and no more pasta.
And there I was eating bread.
A few hours later I can look back at this first time falling off the band-wagon and call it a carb-up, give my body some building blocks for the hormones I need so badly, and just enjoy some baked brie.
XOXO

Ladies.
How many of us are out there beating ourselves up about screwing up our diets? I have never tried seriously to follow a diet, so this was a pretty big deal for me. I feel in some ways that I have given up on myself, that I don't care enough, etc etc. The list goes on.
But what is true is that my ketones will likely be back up in range tomorrow afternoon, and my hormones won't mind the carbs one bit. Relaxing with friends and letting your guard down and drinking alcohol isn't a bad thing, and maybe it is just what I needed today.
Sometimes I think we need to just leave the diet behind, like completely forget about it, and just live in the moment. Do you agree?
Ketone update, starting October 2nd through today:
1.0
1.0
0.9
0.6 (I was pretty sad it dropped so low Saturday so I gave an honest effort)
2.1 (Honest effort paid off)
1.3 (Still going strong)
1.1
1.0
and then today: a whopping 0.1 (This is what eating carbs does to ketones)
Can't wait to let you know how this coming week of the Keto Diet looks on me! Chins up!
