Since my re-induction is done and I advanced to Rung 1 last week I've decided to start a new thread. Because this is my 3 month anniversary with Atkins I think I need to take stock of myself and find out how to proceed from here. My decisions:
I'm not going to be so quick to move from rung to rung this time -- I don't think I gave my body enough time to adjust last time (and I was so sick) so I'm going to move slowly from Rung to Rung. I am going to stay on a Rung until I see a change in my weight - once I loose then I'll move. Maybe not how some would do this, but we'll see if I still feel this way - and where I am in a month. That is enough time to give myself before I shake things up again. I'm not saying I'm staying at Rung 1 for a month - I'm going to see if I loose weight and what Rung I'm on in a month.
I said one of my goals was I would try 1 new recipe a week after a clean induction....my recipe this week is going to be oxtail soup. UKAmmie sent me her recipe for it and once I convert it from UK to USA measurements I'll make it. I have no idea where to buy "oxtail" here so I'm going to use pork steak -- I don't think the taste would be much different, and hey, I wouldn't know the difference anyway...LOL!!!!! I have been to several ox roasts but the meat has always been cooked outside over a spit - I've never had it roasted in the oven. It looks wonderful and doesn't look to hard to make - I need to get a couple spices she used that I don't have. She said it makes a couple bowls and is better the next day. I saved the recipe but need to go back and find her picture so I can have that also.
So here I go -- week 2 on Rung 1. To celebrate I had home made Buffalo wings for lunch - they were yummie. I fried the drummettes slowly on top of the stove then microwaved 2 Tbsp Franks Hot Wing sauce and 2 pats of butter and dipped the drummies in the mixture and broiled them until the sauce was set. They weren't too hot (yea) but had some bite to them which is exactly what I wanted and they tasted wonderful! I had 6 - I was going to save 3 but I just kept eating .... not good! I use to eat a dozen and take another dozen home for the next day so eating 6 is control for me!
Anyone have an idea for dinner? I don't have a clue. Mom is in bed, the hubs is downstairs and I'm not hungry, but I need to get something thawed out or we won't be eating anything! Ok - it's pork roast....there's a chilly wind out today so it's a great time to turn on the oven.
