I made it to Ketosis!!

So, this morning I peed on the stick and it was pink...so I get to eat some fruit and veggies tonight with my chicken for dinner. I am going to make the biggest salad ever! I love that not only am I going to lose weight with this program, I am also ridding my body of all impurities, and putting only healthy things in.

Now, let me tell you about a tiny struggle I had last night. We had a formal dinner at my work, and the food came. First the salad, and I wanted it so bad. But, I just told them I didn't want one, and got up to use the restroom while everyone else finished theirs. When I came back, the food was being served, and out came my chicken, string beans, and potatoes. Of course, I could only eat the chicken, so I gave my potatoes to a friend, left the beans on the plate, and scraped the breading off the chicken until it was just meat. Yes, my plate looked like a small, very picky, child had eaten off it, but I was so proud of myself. Lastly, was dessert. It was apple pie, and coffee. Two things that I would have liked to have. However, I gave my pie to someone else, and turned the coffee cup upside down.

This was not easy for me, but I did it. And, just like me, anyone who has a serious amount of weight to lose, has to remember that it isn't about the moment. It's about the long-term goal. You have to ask yourself, is this worth ruining my efforts from the past couple of days? And, for me, the answer was a huge NO!

And, it was all worth it, because this morning when I found out I was in ketosis, I was all smiles. God is so good, and without him, I may have just tasted that apple pie!!
