Keto Day 3, 4, and 5

I've missed a couple of days for no really good reason, just stuff going on and being forgetful.  I have to work backward to figure out what I ate on Sunday and Saturday!

Today's eats:

Meal 1 - 2 eggs, scrambled in bacon fat
               2 slices Pederson's uncured bacon
               2 cups organic baby spinach

Meal 2 - 1/2 cup low salt pistachios (not on the plan but I was hungry and that's all I had)

Meal 3 - 2 large grilled chicken drumsticks
               1 large hass avocado

Meal 4 - haven't decided yet

Glucose reading:  83


Sunday's eats:

Meal 1 - 2 eggs, scrambled
               4 pcs of regular bacon (we ate out)

Meal 2 - I honestly don't remember

Meal 3 - 2 large grilled chicken drumsticks
              1 medium hass avocado

Glucose reading (taken 1 hour after breakfast):  75

Saturday's eats:

Meal 1 - 3 eggs, scrambled in bacon fat
               2 slices Pederson's uncured bacon

Meal 2 - 6 oz. raw ahi tuna
               1 tbsp. green onions
               1 tbsp. cilantro
               1 tbsp. masago
                2 tbsp. seaweed salad
                2 cups spring mix
                3 tbsp. sesame oil

Meal 3 - 6 oz. grilled skirt steak
               2 cups spring mix
               4 cherry tomatoes
               2 tbsp. homemade bleu cheese dressing

Ketones reading: 0.2

I will be testing ketones once a week and glucose upon waking - I did it after breakfast on Saturday because I had just bought the strips and wanted to see if they worked.

I have had bouts of feeling like I had low blood sugar but I have not tested it to see if it really is low (those test strips are really expensive)!

I "cheated" on Saturday afternoon when I felt low and had a tbsp. of peanut butter.  That staved off the low blood sugar but I immediately began craving carbs, like I was going to do more damage than the peanut butter but I had to remind myself if I do that, I will have to start ALL OVER AGAIN.  That's how ketogenics works!

I have not been as strict as my health coach has mapped out for me but I am "easing" myself into this, I think I'm doing pretty well being that I've never stuck to anything for more than 2 days for the past 8 years!
