This was a good week; however, I did "cheat". My in-laws were in town to celebrate my father-in-law's 70th birthday. It was an extra special occasion. We had a lovely chocolate cake with chocolate mousse. So, yes, I indulged is a very VERY small piece after dinner. It was delicious. Funny thing is I have never been a chocolate lover... and even now thinking back on it, while it was truly delicious it won't be something I will crave later... or at least, I don't think I will. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. The cheating, I mean.
So now I am working toward getting back into ketosis. Here's another crazy thing. I checked my urine the first morning after eating the cake and found that I was still in ketosis although with small traces, but in ketosis none-the-less. I was surprised. My cheating spree lasted a total of two days and consisted of having more than my share of strawberries (which I do love and crave) and two of those small pieces of cake two nights in a row. Oh, and I did have a serving of roasted sweet potatoes with dinner that last evening.
Despite my indiscretions I still managed to drop another 1.2 lbs. Amazing, huh? Not sure how that happened, but I'll take what I can get.
