Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Hope you all had a good day.
I am back to share how I did today, and what the damage was from yesterday.
We'll start with the weigh in.
Starting - 216.4
Yesterday - 208.2
Today - 211
Yes, I did go up almost 3 pounds. Not great, but I knew I would go up. Hopefully after today the scale will be back down.
My blood sugars were pretty good today, except for fasting (around 150 I think). But the rest of the day they were in the 80s to low 100s.
What did I eat?
Meal 1 -
2 eggs, 2 oz spam, 4 slices of bacon
Snack - 1 serving sugar free chocolate chips
Meal 2 -
4 oz deli turkey, 2 cheese sticks
Snack - 1/2 Keto chow ice cream
Macros for the day:
Calories - 1,057
Protein - 69
Fat - 79
Carbs - 23
Fiber - 9
Net carbs - 14
Much better than the day before, as you can see. Much lower on calories and carbs, and more protein.
Guess I will see in the morning if the scale was kind and went back down some. But it was nice to have some of the foods I love...
What do you all think?

Believe me, I am so close to throwing in the towel. Or maybe just the depression is getting to me today

@RebeccasFarm It is more than just the food/numbers issue on my mind...but knowing I can't trust my CGM is really frustrating me.

@MommyOfEli2013 I'm sorry it's lying to you. I hope it's not double what it's saying.

Not sure I am doing that well, my CGM is lying to me. Said I was going low, checked it and it was 100 points higher :( So when I thought I was doing great in the 80s I would probably actually double that.

@just4him Well I checked it by finger and it said 237, CGM scan says 127.
Bummed that it is not giving me correct numbers....but also depressed that I am at 237 really. Guess low carb bread and sugar free jelly is out.

@jstory07 Yes but hoped to have gone back down to what I weighed before the "cheat" day

Yes that is why I wasn't crying about it... although another issue is frustrating me.

@LindaOHio Well my CGM said 127, my finger poke said 237. Then once it told me I was in the 60s but my finger poke told me I was in the 130s.
