I was down to 254 yesterday. Stayed the same today.

Back on Track

Monday 10/21/13
Weight - 262.2
Ketosis - Negative

OK. I had a death in the family so i was not able to officially start the PSMF until 10/21/13.
So as my subtitle proclaims, I have been able to keep off the weight for 4 years!

Monday I started out with 2 oz. of grass fed, lean ground beef for breakfast. I also had 1 egg cooked with Pam non stick spray and some plain broccoli slaw with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

For lunch and snack I had 3 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken thigh meat and 3.5 oz. of uncooked broccoli slaw each time.  I know it sounds boring but I am just trying to get into ketosis so my body will start burning fat. 

For dinner I had 4 oz. of the same ground beef and 3.5 oz. of baby kale.  
I got hungry around 8pm and had 1 boiled egg. That's it! 

The other thing I had was my supplements: calcium, magnesium, potassium and a multivitamin.
