Day 2? Day 1? Oh Heck - I'll Be in the Induction Phase for While Yet Anyway...
So yesterday morning after making scrambled eggs with cheese and not having had anything since then - I decided to go back onto the Atkins Diet.
I started once before with the induction phase, I think it worked quite well, my clothes fit me so much nicer, and my shirts were hugging more body curves then bulging fat blobs.
So yesterday here is what I got in (before buying the book mind you).
Breakfast:
3 scrambled eggs
4 oz cheese
Supper:
3 Chorizo sausages
1 cup shredded Zuchinni
1 cup sliced portabella mushrooms
1/8 cup butter to sautee the Zuchinni and mushrooms
I will admit, I need to eat more, but weekends are difficult because sometimes I get to sleep in - and I LOVE sleeping in.
So, today I decided I'd try and be a bit better - I actually made up a menu plan for today and tomorrow. I didn't want to buy too many vegetables all at the same time, so I just did two days worth, though I think I have more then that, but hey - better then not enough.
Today's Breakfast:
2 over-easy eggs
Supper:
3 Chicken Thighs, seasoned with salad seasoning (just flakes like onion, bell peppers, pepper, etc., nothing crazy, no sugar either).
2 cup romaine lettuce
1 cup cucumber/bell pepper/mushroom mix
2 tbsp Greek Feta dressing - 1 carb per tbsp. No sugar.
I've been drinking lots of water though, so while I know I need to get more eating during the rest of the day and maybe not trying to scarf all the veggies at one sitting, I feel I'm off to an okay start.
Oh - and I bought the book before supper, I've read it once before - but it was an older version, so now I'm up to date with what ya'll are reading.
So here's what tomorrow's menu looks like (tell me if you think it's good!!)
Breakfast:
Scrambled Egg Wraps
- 2 eggs scrambled, wrapped in romaine lettuce with a 1/4 cup of bell peppers and 1 oz of shredded cheddar cheese (shredded myself).
Lunch:
2 Chicken Thighs (leftovers)
1 cup salad (leftovers)
Dinner:
Stuffed Green Peppers
- Green Pepper halved with concoction of ground beef, cheese, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and a couple cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup romaine lettuce
1/2 cup bell pepper/mushroom/cucumber mix
How does all that sound?
On Wednesday for Lunch I am going to have Chunk Tuna with Mayo and celery pieces, and 4 celery stalks with 2 oz total of cream cheese. I'd do it tomorrow, but I want my leftovers too much
So tonight I am going to read some more.
All the best on everybody's journey.
Oh - one more thing - I do have a start weight, however I am not going to weigh myself anymore until I start to feel comfortable with my success. I have taken all my measurements and plan to take my measurements every two weeks. My goals are in measurements and good health.
Happy Days to all, and to all a low-carb day
