You all are so great! I feel so much better already.

Okay, here's my life story:

My Ketostix are brand new, and I checked the expiration date. I'll try turning them backwards, though. Great idea.

Here's what I'm eating. (I'm a vegetarian, so it's almost exactly the same menu every day):

Breakfast: 4 eggs, 1 slice American or muenster cheese, 2-3 slices of bacon, a 20 ounce glass of lemonade made with Sweet 'n Low and no carb lemon juice

2 cups regular coffee with 4 T whole cream and Sweet 'n Low

Mid-morning Snack: l mozzarella cheese stick

Lunch: Same omelette as breakfast, l cup salad with vinegar and oil dressing and 1 ounce of bleu cheese,

2 cups decaf coffee with 4 T cream and Sweet 'n Low

Snack: Diet, no-carb jello and l mozzarella cheese stick

Supper: Same as lunch

I drink at least 5, 20 ounce glasses of water or no-carb lemonade throughout the day

Exercise:

Winter: Alternate days, six days a week total: Weightlifting and Step Aerobics

Summer: Weightlifting 3-4 days a week and cycling 15-30 miles a day, 6 days a week

I do 3-6 week rotations, alternating between heavy lifting and endurance training

I usually use Cathe Friedrich videos for strength training, and some of hers + several others for step.

Health: Diabetic (no longer taking meds; totally controlled by diet)
Thyroid: 2 grains Armour
High blood pressure/angina: Atenolol and Avapro

Supplements: Multi-vitamin, C, E, B complex, Flaxseed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, CLA, Selenium
