Quickie Update & Tuesday's Menu

Here's a quick update on where I am:

I weighed in at 159 lbs this morning. What I'm noticing is that my weight fluctuates between 158 and 161 from day-to-day. I actually had a huge cheat day on Saturday...probably the biggest one I've had since I started eating low-carb...so I thought my weight would spike upwards for a few days afterwards...but for whatever reason, that didn't happen. I'm very happy about that...but I'm certainly not going to use that as an excuse to cheat more often! On average I cheat once every few months. Honestly I don't feel the need to cheat because the food I'm eating every day is so rich and satisfying. For example - here's yesterday's yummy menu:

B - 2 eggs fried in olive oil, 2 sausage patties

L - 6oz. cheese steak, low-carb ketchup, broccoli

D - 2 cheeseburger patties, pickles, mayo, casaer salad

In the interest of total disclosure - Saturday's cheat day involved butterfly fries at Bayfest, cake at my friend Jim's wedding, and chips and dip with my friends while we watched the NFL draft. Hey, if I'm cheating...I'm CHEATING!
