Day one of induction completed! Here is how I did:

B - 2 eggs made into an omlette with a small amount of cheddar cheese and a small amount of green pepper, 4oz lean ham, 12 oz coffee w/ 2 TBS H&H and liquid splenda

S - 1 string cheese

S - 1 baked chicken thigh w/skin seasoned with essence

D - 3 oz grilled beef tenderloin, 1 3 oz grilled pork chop, 1 cup salad greens w/ 1.5 TBS light Ranch dressing, 1 can diet Rite

S - 1 chicken thigh w/skin

Also drank 1.5 liters of flavored water sweetened w/splenda

This morning I had 2 eggs fried in a 1 tsp butter and 4 slices of bacon. I am finding that eating a large breakfast keeps me full until dinner time. The peice of chicken I had as a snack was really close to dinner. I have also been running to the bathroom every five minutes! I have probably lost about 2 pounds of water. I added a salt subsistute this am for some extra potassium. I cannot take supplements because I am on BP meds. I am feeling pretty good and very motivated! I was going to try the gym today but I think maybe tomorrow. I don't want to push it too fast, my muscles need some time to adjust or I will wake up cramping again. I am also thinking about purchasing some tapes, Pillates and WATPs for days at home when I can't get to the gym.

I have also been talking with DH about why I am re-inducting and the mistakes I have made trying to maintain. Better to catch it at a few pounds ( 5 based on the doctors scale 12 Jan) than to wait until I can't fit in any of my clothes. For me, it was too many indulgences and too many legal bread products. Bread is my weakness. That wonderful pumpkin bread....I have been eating an average of 3-4 slices a day!! Also the Atkins bagels. 3 slices of pumpkin bread and 1 atkins bagel in the same day is way too much!! So as of yesterday I reafirm my dedication to this WOE and will try to better so that this will be the last induction I will ever do!
