Hope y'all had a wonderful Valentines Day..... My hubby is not the romantic type so things like anniversaries, Valentines Day and birthdays mostly pass unnoticed. I knew he was like this when I married him so no complaints here - just feel a little out-of-sync with the rest of the world on V-day if that makes any sense.

I am still in light ketosis this AM - weight is at 176.5 lbs. Tummy still doesn't feel so good. My menu yesterday was a bit high on calories but good on carbs.

Still watching my calorie per pound intake to try to drop another 5 lbs or so by about March 15. Calories per pound 2095 / 176 = 11.9 (aiming for around 9 to 10)
