Well, I decided to actually measure my water today to see how much I was drinking. Come to find out that yesterday I probably drank around 200 ounces! No wonder I was in the bathroom every 20 minutes. Reading this forum got me all paranoid about getting enough water, I suppose.


I can't do a lot of exercise due to back and knee problems, but I did manage to walk one of my dogs around the block today. (Had to leave the yorkie at home - he's got arthritis, 15 years old, and is very very slow).

I'm checking my keto sticks - yesterday they measured small and today it's moderate. I *know* it can't be from dehydration, so that must mean I'm in ketosis (yea!) (it registered negative when I did it for a baseline on day one)

I really think I can stick to this.....I like the not feeling hungry thing and I haven't had any cravings (yet). The headache only lasted for most of the day yesterday and today I woke up without one. So perhaps the worst is past.

I do appreciate all the support and knowledge that people share here. You guys are great!
