DAY 1 - it's official!

I didn't break any new records when I started induction a couple of months ago... lol! So, saying I am in a stall may not be what to describe it.

However, I have an elliptical trainer now...woo hoo! ... and can now exercise along with my re-unduction and see if I can get my metabolism into a new mode... preferably "fast forward" ... ha ha!

I actually began induction today... I did say I would start tomorrow, but I have been so good today and went 20 minutes on my new Elliptical ... and downed a ton of water and liquid today.

Had hamburger without any bun, fish cooked in butter, spinach cooked in olive oil and garlic... 2 Cheddar Biscuits ( 2 net carbs each) ...so far. Will have something later tonight as a snack...but I think I did okay!

Good luck everyone! We are going to do this!

YAY!!!! Glad to see you back on the horse again!

Sounds like you are having a great day. Kudus, especially for the 20 minutes on the elliptical!

Is that the one made with coconut flour?

I am so glad you joined QueenSultana. This is going to work and we all can work on it together.

You had a better day than I.

No, Desertthorn, hon... no coconut four. Sorry. Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! (((BIG HUGS!)))

As to those biscuits.... they are like the Cheddar Biscuits served at Red Lobster restaurant. Seriously, except for being almost too light (they wanted to crumble when I tried to slice them open for butter) they were GREAT!!! Even my picky husband loved them.

Here is the recipe I used, (I cut the recipe in half for just hubby and me- and did add more cream to get it moist) which I got off the box of Carbquik (developed by Chef Gregory Prior CEC) when I purchased several things for baking and snacking at Netrition.com .

Carbquik Recipe: Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

Servings: 10
Net Carbs Per Serving: 2
Total Preparation Time: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups Carbquik
2 ounces butter, cold
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup water

Instructions:

-Preheat oven to 450 degrees
-Cut the cold butter into the Carbquik with either a pastry cutter or two knives, till the mixture resembles coarse meal.
-Add the shredded cheese, a pinch of salt, and garlic powder and blend well.
-Mix the heavy cream with water to equal 1/2 cup of liquid, pour into dry mix.
-Mix till dough forms and comes together, but do not overwork the dough.
-Drop the dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet approx 1 ounce size portions.
-Bake in hot oven 8-10 minutes till biscuits are golden brown.

You can find this item here: Carbquik

Today so far, I am doing okay.... just had some homemade chicken salad with shredded lettuce wrapped in a low fat tortilla. I have half the water down and it's only 4:00 PM.

*...so sloshing to the kitchen now .... slosh, slosh.... getting another bottle of water out of the fridge.* I am sooooo full of water!! I think I may pop! LOL!

I am doing the Elliptical every other day to start. Yesterday almost killed me... ha ha! It was my first day. I felt the burn in my leg muscles!

Hope everyone is having a great day. From what I have read, a couple of our "StallBuster" members have already BUSTED that stall! Congrats, DesertThorn and Sunny!

QS, congratulations on the water guzzling and the exercise!

I'm a little puzzled though. You are eating Carbquick and low fat (or carb) tortillas on induction?

I don't think the low carb tortillas are permitted until OWL Rung 9... and I'm not sure at what level the Carbquick is allowed.

Hi Well if Carole can have her yogurt, I guess Blue can have her carbquik. I didn't even know they made that any more. LOL, I'm going to order some as soon as I get out of this blasted Induction. GRRRRRRRRRRR.
