Day 5 in the books...pretty much went as planned. Kept carbs below 20, and ate less than I did the previous day. Had a few snacks scattered throughout the day (1 cheese stick, 10 or so pepperoni slices, 7 almonds, a few slices of sandwich meat ham). Thankfully, I got a good night sleep last night, as the latest struggle with my son got moved a little further back in my brain.

Today should be much like yesterday....2 eggs and 3 strips bacon for breakfast, steak and a ice berg lettuce wedge salad for lunch, whatever protein my wife cooks for dinner and a salad. A good lift (hopefully) this afternoon.

I did start taking MCT oil yesterday (2 teaspoons), and plan to take a full tablespoon today after breakfast.

I plan to weigh myself on Saturday morning...so 2 days away from the first hard evidence that I am again on the right track. I perceive that I have dropped some weight when I look in the mirror at my love handles...but the mirror could be lying:-)
