After being sick for 4 days, I decided to go easy on myself yesterday. I still didn’t have much of an appetite, so I skipped breakfast.

I spent the morning doing taxes, wrapping up and sending ebay items, and running errands. After that, I had a brunch of….a taco and an enchilada. Yes, I decided to have a real taco, with a real shell, and an enchilada to boot! I skipped on the rice and beans. I just felt like going rogue and forgetting about keto for one more day.

I know it’s playing with fire, but I feel that I’m in control of this plan enough to take a cheat meal a little more often. I plan to do the keto diet for one full year (or more) before being at my goal, and I think being ill and out of it for a few days on a not-so-vacation-like vacation awoke me to the fact that I don’t need to be so regimental about the whole plan.

We worked on installing molding in the rental house, then called it a day. For dinner, I ate the leftover taco from my lunch. I skipped dessert. All in all, it was a bad day in terms of nutrition–not because I went off keto, but because I ate way too little. I’ll get back on track tomorrow.
