Day Three: Ketosis, check!

Weight: 164.9 lbs!! BMI back down to 25! Ketosis: moderate (~40 mg/dl)

48 hours, 3.1 pounds; great.

Still feeling okay, no hideous cravings. Yesterday was a bit grouchy in the evening, and pretty tired during the day - not so much physically, just really sleepy. KCA came over for work and I could barely keep my eyes open sitting at the kitchen table, trying to read about fish imports. In the afternoon we went cross country skiing at the Weston Ski Track in Waltham, which was great - lots of outdoors, hard physical work, and a new skill to learn to distract from the physical work. And, the pleasure of climbing up the steep learning curve. But cold, esp. after falling down a couple of times and getting covered with snow trying to get up (not a graceful process, at least not at my skill level).

At LB's suggestion, got some faux chocolatey protein bars at Trader Joe's, and we split one last night for the late night snack. Not really delicious - reminded me of a Tiger Milk bar, which I'm not sure they make any more - but all right in a sort of limited way for an off night, so will probably get more. Love Trader Joe's.

Disturbing aspect of looking at pictures: very upsetting to see myself from the back. I had no idea I looked like that. Look fat. Not only back fat, but also tubby giant hips and butt, and clothes don't hide it at all. Just a big fat chick. If I saw myself from the back in public I would immediately judge me as a fat, lazy person who eats lots of Wonder Bread and drives everywhere. I guess it must have been accumulating for a while in my back before I noticed it in front.

In happy news, yesterday M.A. finally took his new Ikea sheepskin for a test run. Apparently successful, as that's where he's been ever since with a few bathroom and tv breaks.

2pm: Headache. Mild nausea. Definite disgruntlement. Big thermos of green tea NOT delicious.

2:10pm: Just realized that JRS and my combined weight came down below 400 lbs today. Yatta!
