Beef & Mushrooms Ala Keto... and Lunch @ The Lobster...

Went to Red Lobster today, but it took me forever to order... not a whole lot of choices but shellfish is always amazing. Three kinds of shrimp, a lovely salad (from which I had to extract croutons and carrots - thank god Matt loves extra food) and soda with lemon, which was the highlight of lunch. I've been looking for something to drink without sugar or sugar substitute and this seems to be the winner. I do like Sparkling Ice (which is delicious and no carbs) but I have to take it easy on the sugar subs. I guess they can affect your liver as well... ~sigh~ Anyway, beef champignon tonight for dinner, which was delicious. Walked over 12000 steps today, lost another pound and had the lowest blood sugar I've had in years, so I guess it's all worth it.
