Success?!

Well, it seems that the first day of my experimental return to Induction has worked. Yesterday, I was 177 (except for one time it said 176.5), and today it said 175.5 — all five times I weighed just to make sure. So, that's either a pound or a pound and a half in a day, which I LOVE. Now I'm back to where I was a week ago ... now for some actual losing! I can't wait to break into the 160s!

I think it's a bit hasty to attribute all of this loss to a return to Induction, since my period is winding down. But I've never before noticed a slow-down in weight loss during my period, so it's hard to know who or what to blame for this whole "stall" that's been going on for the past month.

Anyway, I'm going to stick with Induction for at least a week and see how it goes. It'll give me an opportunity to add back in foods PROPERLY, rather than all willy-nilly like I did the first time. That way maybe I can actually see if a particular food seems to affect me and not end up stalled for a month again.

Here's my menu for the day:

BREAKFAST:
1/8 Sausage Quiche - 2 net carbs (1 oz. cheese)

LUNCH:
Hamburger w/colby jack - 1 net carb (1 oz. cheese)
1 cup green beans - 6 net carbs

DINNER:
Bacon Beef Rolls - 2 net carbs (0.5 oz. cheese)
2 cups romaine - 0.8 net carbs
0.5 oz. cheese - 0.5 net carbs
1 T. Ken's Ranch Dressing - 0.5 net carbs

SNACK:
2 Cream Cheese Clouds - 2 net carbs

TOTALS:
14.8 net carbs (2.5 oz. + 1 T cheese)

Update: We ended up going out for lunch because today is payday, and we always go to the bank and to lunch. I should have just taken my lunch, but oh well. We went to Cafe Carolina, which I didn't expect, so I had to make the best choice I could. I ordered the cobb salad. It just had lettuce, bacon, chicken, tomatoes, gorgonzola, cheddar and hardboiled egg. I got back, and the nutrition facts said 41 carbs! There's no fiber count available online, though, so I don't know how many net carbs. Although the difference between the Caesar Salad and the Chicken Caesar Salad is just one has chicken, and there's a difference of 15 carbs! What do they put in that chicken?! Anyway, now I'm probably completely thrown off of Induction, even though the ingredients by themselves should have been Induction-friendly. GRRR. I'll just have to make some good choices tonight and hope for the best. I hate it when places are tricky like that.
