On to Day 3...

I am doing very well! I'm sorry I didn't post last night, but I was busy! I took lots of pictures of my food, but haven't loaded them onto the PC, yet. I will do that tonight.

I made it through Day 2 without any big incidents. So far, the biggest challenge has been fighting the occasional sweet craving. I am hoping to circumvent that by eating some of the Fruitless Fruit Leather, which I made last night.

I also made Cream Cheese Muffins, Just Like Stuffed Baked Potatoes and paremsan-crusted fried catfish.

Day 2 Meals:

Breakfast - cream cheese muffin
Snack - a small taco salad (1/2c seasoned ground beef, 1/2 oz of shredded cheddar, 0.25oz tomato, 1 cup of lettuce)
Lunch - 6oz. parmesan-crusted catfish, 1c of green beans in olive oil and garlic
Dinner - 1 and 1/2 Italian sausage links with 1.5 oz of green peppers and 1/2 of a protein-packed oopsie.

24total carbs - 6 fiber = 19 Net Carbs

On to Day 3!

Induction Day 1

Well, here I am on induction and waiting for the icky feeling. I know it's coming, it never fails me ;) .

I am optimistic at the moment, though. We will see if that lasts to the magically, horrendous Day 3! I think so, though. God knows, I hope that I can make it through.

One thing I know for sure, the icky feeling of induction can't possibly be any worse than the icky feeling I get when I have too much sugar and too many carbs. And at least I know (or at least have been reassured) that the induction flu can and will end.

So, I made oopsies and had an oopsie sandwich for my first induction meal. What a way to start! The oopsie suprised me by being very good. Still, I added eggs to my sandwich which, I perhaps, should not have done. I am not a big egg eater. I crave eggs 2, maybe 3 times per year (and usually slathered in butter and syrup!), although I don't mind them whipped up or cooked in anything. But adding scrambled eggs to my oopsie was kind of like eating two slices of french toast with scrambled eggs sandwiched in between. You kind of have to be an egg lover to manage that. So, I probably won't do that again. But I will use the oopsie for my burger and in place of french toast, for sure.


I took a half of a multivitamin, some Chromium Picolinate, L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine and Potassium with my sandwich. Vitamins normally make me a little wretchy, so I am suprised to say that so far, so good. I hope they help with the induction flu symptoms. If all else fails, there is always my lovely Tylenol PM to get me through!

I'll post more after I take my neice shopping and traverse the wonderful obstacle course of my first induction lunch, snacks and dinner. Joy!
