Well I do cheat on this diet. But I'm finding that I'm able to stop myself after just one or two cookies. Before, I'd stop only after eating the last cookie.

We had our first significant snow fall of the season. And I spent nearly two hours shoveling snow that morning. I wonder if that's why my body fat is one percent lower.

Well, I've been cheating on my keto diet, so much so that I'm sure I'm not in ketosis any more. Last night I had a sickening amount of flavored whipped cream. I forgot that the volume of the final product doubles after whipping, so I started with a bit more than I needed to. I'm glad that only my waist measurement has gone up!

It occurred to me that ice cream makes a lot of sense. Heavy cream has such a short shelf life. Making ice cream is a great way to preserve it.

I'm surprised my numbers haven't increased since last week. I've been sneaking candy nearly every day. And last night I ate an entire 14" thin crust pizza. Yet my weight and fat are the same as last week, and my waist even went down. Then again, I slept very well.

Weigh-In Eight Year Graphical Summary

Here is an eight year graphical summary of my weigh-in data.

I think the increase from November 2015 to June 2016 is because I was taking Lexapro.

I think the longer-spanned increase from about September 2013 to about November 2014 is related to a malfunctioning CPAP machine.

I think it's time for me to post another graphical summary, if I can remember how.

I've given up on making home made low carb ice cream. Now I do something easier and better. I make flavored whipped cream. I combine liquid stevia* with a flavorful ingredient and add heavy cream all in a really good jar, such as a clean 16 ounce almond butter jar. Then I just shake, and shake, and shake. Eventually it thickness and turns into a great filling dessert! I used Madagascar vanilla extract on Sunday night and got something that resembled Talenti Gelato Tahitian Vanilla ice cream. Last night I used a nutmeg grater to pulverize a thumb-sized piece of raw ginger and added that to get a ginger ice cream knock off. Really good heavy cream costs about $7.30 per quartz (or $3.65 per pint). But the cream's volume increases by at least 50% using this method. So you don't need 1 pint of cream to get 1 pint of dessert -- 12 ounces is sufficient. And frankly, when I start with only 1 cup of cream, I get more than enough dessert for a serving. So it turns out to be much cheaper than good quality ice cream.

* I have powdered stevia, so I add a tablespoon of very hot water to liquefy it before I combine ingredients.
