I would give up the partying too for a couple of weeks. You can always go to a movie if you can't go out with friends and stay out of the alcohol. Alcohol is absorbed by the body and does raise blood sugar, but it's often allowed on low carb plans because it does so slowly. However, it may do so more quickly for you than most people and be affecting you.

Try eating harder cheeses like cheddar if you have to have cheese. Also, unless I misunderstand, your lunchtimesalad has no protein and only fat in the salad dressing. How about adding meat to that meal so you're balancing that carb intake with more protein and fat.
