Day two am I eating right

[new orleans finest]

Well you guys I have been reading these boards and the book since 2005. But I still need your help. I decided to give this a try for the first time on yesterday the only thing is i refused to weigh myself (5'3-5'4, 39 yrs old and well over 300lbs. ) but I started yesterday and I ate ribeye steak, salad, 1 cheese stick, 1 boiled egg,1 piece of turkey italian sasuage, some(2 tablespoons) canned mustard greens and grilled talapia drank plenty of water. I have more enegry today and yesterday than I ever had in a long time . Let me know what you think about the food choices.

I think your menu sounds good. Just make sure that your eating the right veggies & amounts throughout the day for induction. On your canned veggies- check for hidden sugars & high sodium counts. Keep up the good work.

Hi there and welcome! Glad you decided to join us after two years of reading here.

Re your food choices, I'd echo what Rozigrl says.
Good to hear you have more energy after your first day. Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones and not get even a touch of induction flu.

Post lots and share your journey. We're here to help whenever you need it.

Hi there New Orleans Finest, I just wanted to welcome you to the board. I am New Orleans born and raised now living in Slidell. Nice to have another New Orlean's lady on the board. Good luck to you. Your foods from yesterday look good. I think you said in another thread that your daughter snitched your book, if she is doing it along with you that will be a great help to you both. Once again, welcome, hope to see you around the forums plenty!

Glad to see some other Louisiana natives on the boards--I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and now live in Los Angeles. My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you get in your veggies, they're so good and will boost your energy even more!

Hi Pyra, welcome to the board. Did you see Mitzi is our Baton Rouge lady? I live in Slidell myself but have tons of relatives in the Baton Rouge area.

Thank you guys for all the positive responses. As you all know Mardi gras is coming up pretty soon and its going to be tough to pass on King Cakes but I"ll do it. I'll be walking in a few parades with my daughter so the exercise will begin soon

Yes, the king cakes have been a killer for me too, but I have been sticking to my guns. At dinner last night we were talking about missing the old MacKenzie Kingcakes. That is great that you will get to walk in the parades, my dd,13, class walked in a couple last year but she was in the midst of being treated at the chiropractor for backpain. Have a good weekend!

Re: Day two am I eating right

Welcome to the board! We have a forum called "review my menu". You can post your menu's there daily and people will come and comment for you.

As long as you stick with allowed induction foods, drink your water and move your body, you should be fine!

I can smell them just thinking about them, and oh I miss the Cinnamon, Raisin, Pecan Coffee Cake! Ok, lets think something legal!

Re: Day two am I eating right

Hello New Orleans Finest...I'm also for New Orleans (Gretna) but live most of my days working in New Orleans. I'm glad to see others from my area. Maybe we should all start our own little support forum. I'm trying it again after being on and off since "K" (I just can't say the word.) I'm on my 4th day of induction and doing well so far. Welcome aboard.
