I re-start 3/16/09

[imagood1]

I am re-starting tomorrow morning because by the time I read we were suppose to re-start induction I had already eaten breakfast and lunch - I bought cottage cheese and diabetic yogurt at the store this morning which will go bad before I'm out of induction, so I'm going to eat 1 of each so I don't feel I've wasted all the money.

I made 8 servings of Linda's stuffed green peppers and put them in the freezer tonight after dinner. I cooked at 15 pound turkey for dinner tonight so I'll have a lot of that to eat this week.

I did buy 3 zucchini today - I can't believe how much I like them now. I never did before, but I've noticed there are so many new items on my plate now that were never there before because my tastebuds have changed. I also got 2 big bags of radishes because those are my "go to" snack since 7 = 1 carb.

Mom and I cleaned out both freezers yesterday so I know exactly what is in each of them - that makes creating dinners much easier when I know what is there instead of rummaging through trying to find something. I made 12 hamburger patties and put them in the freezer after I made the stuffed green peppers - that was the hamburger that was left after I made the peppers. I'll cut 1 oz slices of cheese to put in the fridge so I don't have to think or measure each time. I have plenty of induction friendly veggies and meats plus eggs, etc...so I'll get at it in the morning.

I'm going to try and take a walk before Greg goes to work in the morning (he leaves at 8:30) because mom has an appointment with her endocrinologist and we have to leave by 9:00 and we won't be back until just about lunchtime. If it's too chilly first thing in the morning I'll get on the bike and ride 5 miles....I just want to get back to doing good exercising again. I just feel I haven't given it my all lately.

I really hope doing re-induction works.

I'm so impressed with your planning! Wow!!! You are truly inspirational. This WOE only works for me if I plan ahead.

Radishes have not been on my radar screen. Hmm, I'll have to go get some!

good luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you -- I've been doing this WOE for awhile, just need to start fresh and clear my head. I learned the first week I was doing Atkins to prepare meals ahead and write down everything the night before I am going to eat the next day -- not to deviate from that list -- and I did very well.

Good luck to you as well!! Thank you for the encouragement.

Your a great sport, Carole. (We needed 5 members to start this forum and she agreed, not knowing what she was getting into) Thanks again
My zucchini is mushy so not at the top of my list. How do you cook yours?

I normally don't cook zucchini -- it has a crunch if you eat it raw. I occassionally cut it in thin slices and put it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds with butter.

Thank you Sherri -- I am committed to another induction I said I would so I will.

Carole, I can't tell you how much I admire your commitment and patience. The more I have read your posts, day after day, the more an inspiration you are to me.

I am not so disciplined. In fact, several days I have eaten more than I wanted to just because I didn't plan well.

So I am also going to start planning a day in advance. I doubt I'll ever catch up with you in cooking ahead like you do, but I am going to try to do more in that direction.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining Stallbusters and helping us get this forum started.

Good luck Carole, you're doing really good with planning ahead!

Me too, your our heroin

Yes, Carole, you really have it all together with your planning and preparing food ahead so I'm sure you will have great results on induction this time!

Now if some of that would just rub off on me......
