Linner With Beck's - The Induction Friendly Low Carb Late-Lunch-Early-Dinner

Day 8 - 2Week Atkins Induction - Dang! Why Is It So Easy To Eat Out on Induction?

UPDATED: Daily Menu and Totals for Day 8 are posted. Thanks for your patience!

Half Dreamland from Beck's Prime. Is this heaven? Or
am I just in Dreamland?

We’re one trick ponies. I know you think we’re chix. But we’re really one trick ponies. Ok, we're one-trick-pony-chix and Denny is the HRIC (Head Rooster In Charge).

When we find something or someplace where our needs are met, we’re happy, secure, and satisfied with life. We get comfortable. And that is pretty much the story of our “eating out” life. Our dining life. There are a handful of places Denny and I really enjoy and if the name of your restaurant isn’t one of those places, too freakin’ bad Dirty Harry, cuz you won’t have a chance to “make my day.” Nor Denny’s either.

Saturday Mornings With BOB (Breakfast On a Bun) and Daddy

Day 6 - 2Week Atkins Induction Continues

A Traditional Low Carb BOB ( Breakfast On a Bun)
with Scrambled Egg, Cheese, Canadian Bacon

“You want “yor eggs frad or scrambled?”
(Translation from Texan: “Would you care for your eggs fried, or scrambled?”)

I can just see the woman with the beehive hairdo, smackin’ her gum and waiting impatiently for my order. I was maybe eight at the time and I can still remember the feeling of panic that ensued at the thought of having to make a decision.

So many awesome Holiday Inn breakfast selections, so little time. My family knew enough to let me order last so as to avoid a repeat of the old  “I Love Lucy” episode where Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel order at a restaurant and Lucy changes her order a half dozen times.

I’ve been a breakfast lover since God was a child. Daddy passed that on to me. Sometimes when Dad was out building Kmart stores throughout the U.S., Mom, Nanny (one of our sissies, Nan), and I

Inside Susie's Head - Conversations With Me

Day 5 - 2Week Atkins Induction

Inside Susie's Head

Ring. Ring.

“Hellooooo. Sussssssiiiiieeee…”

“Helloooo. Conscienceeeee…”

“Your going to hell,” the voice said.

“Why?”

“I already have the easy chair with the rusty nail cushions picked out for you beside the roaring fire.”

I replied sarcastically. “Gee, thanks. You’re too kind. Do you have any hints why I’m taking the elevator to the basement floor?”

“I know who you are and I saw what you did last summer,” the voice on the other end of

Linda Sue and Fluffy Chix Do The Cheeburger Cheeburger Twist!

Cheeburger Cheeburger strikes a chord - Oh, I Gotta New Song & It Goes Like This...

Sometimes decisions are difficult. It’s hard to choose who gets top billing this morning, Cheeburger Cheeburger, who became one of Fluffy Chix sponsors of the May 1 Giveaway, or Linda Sue, friend, and long-time recipe queen of LindaSue’s Low Carb Menus & Recipes fame!

Let’s start with my pal, LindaSue! If you haven’t experienced her recipe site yet, where ya been? You just fall off a log out in the hallow or somethin’? Linda Sue’s Low Carb Menus & Recipes is where Linda creates and collects recipes of the low carb/controlled carb persuasion. There are SOOOO many Induction Friendly (IF) and Diabetic Friendly (DF) recipes in her collection, you could eat for days and never make the same delicious recipe twice. Low carbers rejoice! Let the Macarena begin!

Ok, I'm gushing. Am I gushing? *sob* I am.
 

Shrimp and Cheese Grits Get A Texan's Blood Pumpin'

Day 4 - 2 Week Atkins Induction



Low Carb Shrimp N Cheese Grits makes everybody someone!

Who says ya can’t have cheese grits in a controlled carb world?

I beg to differ!

Them’s fightin’ words for “shore”. I had a big ol’ bowl of shrimp and cheese grits last night and slurped and moaned over every bite.

They were silky. They were unctuous. They stuck to my ribs like white on rice. Oh boy! Opey, tell Miss Bea they were shore nuff tasty!

The trick to eating cheese grits is the grit. As Vinny in My Cousin Vinny once asked, “What is a grit?” Well for most of the world,

Day 3 _ 2 Week Atkin's Induction

Last Night's Dinner - Brontosaurus Rex! I borrowed it
from Fred Flintstone and Dino.
TIP - Hungry for Ribeye but can't afford the $$$? Try buying
beef back bones (Last week's price $2.04/lb at HEB). It's like
eating a Ribeye Popsickle but brown. Mmmmmm Brown!
I heart you Brown. I must break up with you but can't cold turkey.

I have a bit of a diet dilemma going this morning. I'm not hungry.

You heard me.

I'm. Not. Hooooongry!

Really?

Like most of my adult life has been spent in pursuit of something to shut the mean hungries the hell up. But now, on day three, I don't want it. I can't conceive of a time when I would ever need food again. Can't think of eating.

You can't make me.

The end.

We all lived happily ever after.

Now mark it down in your calendar and circle it in red, cuz that doesn't often happen.

(I just lost my entire post. :( Let this be a lesson to all. NEVER. Ever compose in your WYSIWYG edit window. Always type it out in Word and then go to a Text doc and then only then, upload and edit. Dang you internet gremlins! Maybe they objected to the poopy reports?)

Susie’s Comments –



Note to Self - Count Your Blessings!

As expected, I’m down a couple of pounds from yesterday. Water weight for certain. I was peeing like Secretariat yesterday so could almost feel the fluid departing from my swollen and inflamed body.

Even though I ate the ginormous half of a Kitchen Sink (that’s code for the Kitchen Sink that only has 1 beef patty in it, instead of 2) at Beck’s Prime last night, I felt peckish before dropping off to sleep and wondered if I would be able to sleep due to hunger.

And that started me off feeling I’m so very blessed to have a roof over my head and warm, abundant food in my tummy. Somewhere in America there are children who aren’t as lucky. That made me very sad. So I said lots of prayers and fell asleep counting my blessings.

Counting blessings is an excellent past-time! PMA is critical to success in all of life. Too often I get sucked in to my panic of the moment or start focusing on the aftermath of the cancer – all-consuming fatigue and widespread pain and neuralgia due to the chemo, surgery and radiation – and I feel resentful of it all. I play the “why-me” game. I whine. I waste time in negative thoughts.

Day1 - April 16 - 2 Week Atkins Induction

Are you ready? Surprise!

For the next two weeks, this Fluffy Chix will be following Atkin’s Induction – stringently. No on-the-fly aberrations, no in flagrante cheatorums, no creative ad libs, no shades of grey or whiter shades of pale – just good old, by-the-book Atkins Induction as the good doctor invented it!

Here are the rules -

1. Follow the Atkin’s Plan as per The New Atkins for a New You by Jeff Volek, Stephen D. Phinney and Dr. Eric C. Westman, based on the ground breaking work by Dr. Robert C. Atkins.

The Un-Barbquezation of Texas Barbequed Pulled Pork

Barbeque
By Robert Earl Keen

Texas Un-Barbequed Pulled Pork makes ya walk like a Texan!

When I was a little *girl*
Only one or two.
The first thing I did enjoy
Was a plate of barbeque.

…Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red
Barbeque makes old ones feel young
Barbeque makes everybody someone
If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do
Treat yourself to some meat eat some barbeque
