lkonzelman is right...

Cheese during induction is limited to no more than 3-4 oz. per day. It looks like you need more veggies (2 small servings of lettuce really isn't enough) and you need to ditch that Miracle Whip (loaded with sugar!). Use real mayonnaise instead. It looks like you're gettng plenty of protein, but you may want to add a bit more fat (not sure how much salad dressing you are using, but the typical ranch dressing has 1 gram of carb for 2 tablespoons, so be sure to count it). Have some cooked veggies with butter on them. Cook your meat and eggs in butter.
Keep your carbs as close to 20 as you can get them. Lower is not better in this case and won't help you lose any faster; get the majority of your carbs from veggies from the allowed list.
You don't have to come off induction after 2 weeks, but since you don't have a huge amount of weight to lose, I'd encourage you to move on to the ongoing weight loss phase at least within a month, especially since you are also exercising strenuously.
Since you're been into body building in the past, you may want to have a look through our exercise forum. Maybe once you are done with induction, CKD or Body For Life might suit you better?
