We prepared and added some more bacon and cabbage to an unrolled eggroll recipe we made last week (too much sauce, so added more cabbage). I rolled the eggrolls for him, left mine stir fry style, and it was some of the most fun we had all week. I had some dark chocolate (86%) after lunch and a few tablespoons of "poor man's chocolate mousse" for dessert (heavy cream, cocoa powder, liquid stevia), and really wasn't tempted by much else. Debated pate on crackers, but the "leaded" ones we have taste like paste to me now, and I really wasn't wanting to make low carb crackers, or eat the pate on pork rinds, so that just stayed in the fridge. It was a nice, relatively stress-free day.

I had a keto friendly meal and not so keto friendly dessert. I wanted cheesecake, lol. Does anyone know how to post pics on the mfp app? Id share if I could.

Cooked sauteed shrimp in butter, and put over a salad of baby spinach with tomatoes and shredded cheese for hubby before he went to work in the evening. I did have two squares of the 72% dark chocolate last evening. No problems remaining keto here!

I was at a gala for our local non-profit community radio Saturday night. I was on the committee. I fully intended to go off plan and enjoy the evening (especially for what I paid for it!) and after a day on the couch being just a "tad" hungover yesterday, I'm back on plan today. I'm feeling fine so far, no ill effects from the way over the top splurge.

But I'm determined that this time will not be derailing me!!

Sunday morning was easy. 3 eggs with cheese, European style bacon, and a little salsa.
Dinner was tandoori chicken!
Husband does all the big cooking in my house.
He isn't even doing low carb but is super supportive.
I finished the evening with a piece of high cocoa chocolate.

Since I'm a newbie I didn't want to go too crazy, but I didn't feel like I was missing out TBH.

My mother in law was "thoughtful" and brought me an extra large box of chocolates. She also showed up with tortillas, rice, beans, enchiladas, etc for lunch.

I ate just the meat, and didn't touch ANY of the chocolate! Hubby and I had wings for dinner.

Had a super day with my hubby and son. Yummy cheese and shrimp for a happy hour late afternoon. New York strip loin steak with crab legs, melted butter and green beans. And then washed it all down with 1 1/2 bottles of champagne! LOL!!!

My husband and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day. But it was snowing pretty hard here in Kentucky, so we snuggled on the couch with our dog, drank coffee (with lots of cream) and binge-watched "Game of Thrones." It was a great day!

We aren't real big on celebrating Valentine's Day, but I made shrimp cocktail for starters, roast beef (bottom round roast) with mashed potatoes (for husband and kids), roasting pan gravy, carrots, and green beans. Had dark chocolate and berries and cream for dessert.

I was way above my normal carb goal but I was our of town and staying with relatives so I knew I would go over. I even chose to eat a small bowl of ice cream last night. I am home now, and hungry from those extra carbs (probably close to 70... LOL funny that 70g is a higher carb day now;) ), but getting back on track to my plan or this month.

Overall it was a good day.

Bad. I did bad. Now dealing with cravings and was very lightheaded and shaky today. I am trying to get back on track today.

@AmyWininger Get that sodium up! It will help with the lightheadedness, shakiness, and possibly even the cravings...

I did not do well. Dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant which included pasta and a dessert. And then I ate almost an entire box of chocolates over the course of Saturday/Sunday.

Monday was good -- ate pretty well and went snowshoeing twice, and today is working out pretty well so far. Hoping to go for a walk on my lunch break and go snowshoeing after work. Fresh air + exercise = better mental health = easier to make healthy choices!
