Yay! I'm a few days behind, so my weekly recap will be on Saturday.
And yes, you totally need to go eat Brazilian as a birthday treat! They're made for low carb! (And there's usually mac n cheese on the lineup for the carbingers of doom).0 -

Wow! I went to one where you have the option of rodizio or pay-by-weight. I paid for a full filet mignon and it was only $7-something. My entire meal (just me) including espresso and soda water AND tip was $15!
Woah! Were you actually in Brazil? All of the ones I've been to have been around the $50-75/per person price like @FIT_Goat experienced, which is why it was a special occasion thing for us.0 -

Nope, I was up the road from my office. It's $21 per person for a lunch (6 meats) Rodizio and $29 for dinner (10 meats), or something like $10/lb for pay-by-weight.
Now I'm feeling super thankful for that place. I'll have to go back April 11th!0 -
Just popping in to note that my Brazilian place is $25 all-you-can-eat. They try to trick you with all the carby side dishes on the buffet, but I know better now for next time. They also charge extra for "specialty" items.

My husband got a gift card at work fora Brazilian steakhouse for $100. I told him we should invite another couple, but I first looked it up. Good thing that I did, it was about $50 per person. It was really good but definitely a ONCE in awhile treat.0

Oh! Just noticed I never linked to my own blog posts here. I've been loosely tracking my progress on this, more commentary than numbers. But I will do a weekly comparison using FIT_Goat's progress graph combined with fresh measurements from my Myotape.

So this morning the scale is moving back in the right direction. That erroneous 0.2 lb is back off. And considering yesterday I worked out, had a LOT more water, and added salt, I'm surprised it's not higher, or the same as yesterday. Yesterday I ate an additional 500 calories just before I went to sleep. Can't call these results CICO!0 -
Making a couple 6 ounce burgers on the grill for brunch.0

I apparently now consider a half-pound patty "petite."
Glad I was the only one in the kitchen when it was time to pour the burger grease in a paper cup and drink it.0 -

Yeah, 8 ounces is about the minimum that I will consider for a meal.
Today is up. You all don't know how much it means that I gave up corned beef this year. It's one of my favorites.

LOVE this
Me, too.
And seriously, every single time I come back to this thread i start craving ground beef. I really need to buy some.0 -

My husband reports the corned beef he made tonight was the best he ever served. Proud of him that even though the big bad Keto Drill Sergeant wasn't partaking, he still made mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes.
Meanwhile I ate a pound of ground beef, skillet seared. Didn't quite get all the grease because the skillet was too heavy to hold and spatula at the same time. I need to work on my forearm strength next.
One more 8oz patty left in the fridge for lunch, though I didn't feel happy eating a whole pound in one sitting so I might pick up another burger at 5 Guys tomorrow to increase the size of my fast break.0 -

I've already been promised a freshly prepared redo whenever I return from the land of ground and unseasoned beef.0 -
Wow! Canadian rodizio is $45-$55 per person, all you can eat. I wish we had a $20 version! Our local one does sell some amazing frozen burger patties too. They use their off cuts and are Devine!0

Weight fell again today. That makes today 3.3 kg (7.26 lbs) down from my starting weight 9 days ago. My trend-line is down 1.3 kg (2.86 lbs). I am a little shocked, but not too much. I have experience similar to this before when I was heavy like this and moved to meat only. I'm pretty sure it's not all fat, obviously. I can't imagine it is any muscle, not with my protein levels around 130+ grams each day.0
