How did it go:

Started out the day pretty excited to be going back to keto.  I feel like it matches my natural eating habits really well and in the past I've felt great on it.  Spoke with the doctor this morning and feeling happy that she is on board with it.

By lunchtime a mild headache crept in.  I haven't had carbs since 8pm last night (was fasting for bloodwork this morning but didn't actually have that done).  Probably starting to feel the effects of no carbs.  Decided to check my blood ketone readings using my trusty blood meter - 0.2 already!

I was working on a big batch of freezer cooking (5 recipes) so I just had a quick plain hamburger patty for lunch.

Snack - whoops!  Way more carbs in sour cream that I remembered.  I usually have whipped cream with strawberries but couldn't find the stick blender.

Had to take some tylenol in the afternoon and by dinner I felt much better.  Tried the first recipe of the meal plan - the beef fajitas.  Supposed to be a lettuce wrap but I ate it as a salad instead with the guacamole as dressing.  My store was out of flank steak so I substituted cube steak instead - not a great substitution, came out quite tough.  I like cube steak when coated in flour but apparently not just fried straight.  Next time I'll just use sirloin if I can't find the flank steak.

Took another tylenol before bed.  Was sweating by bed time.
