291 this morning. Some of my prior weight loss this week was due to dehydration. I worked, outside, all day Wednesday. I left the house at 7am and came inside at 930pm. It was hot and sunny and I was out in it all day. I didn't have nearly enough to drink and it caught up with me around 8pm. I then drank too much water (64 ounces) at one time and I think it messed up my electrolyte balance. When I got home I was dizzy. I couldn't stand without leaning against the wall. Additionally my blood pressure has been through the roof, or at least was yesterday. I checked it and it was 190/96. This morning it's down to 155/86 but I did take a beta blocker that I use to be on last night to bring it down. I'm still taking my regular blood pressure medication.

I have not been checking my blood pressure while on the diet because I've felt great, so I can't say with certainty that it hasn't been high prior to getting too hot and dehydrated. Any keto guys checking your BP? Any thoughts?

Regardless, I'm still feeling great and still wide open on the keto plan. The first good round of FL strawberries are now coming in and I am enjoying eating a little fruit now. Apparently strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are the only keto "legal" fruits to eat. I bought a pint of very ripe strawberries yesterday while in Clanton. They are incredible and I limited myself to 5 of them. That's another win for me. This will power that I have suddenly tapped into is a first for me.
