INDUCTION COMPLETED!!

I did honor my contract with God well, (can't say exactly to the T, given the slight increase in carbs at the second party), but I feel mostly good about how I did it. More importantly, I finally saw through an entire cycle of induction--for the first time!! Even though I have made many attempts to do so each time, this time around for 3 weeks continuously (except for that one day of cheating at the first party, when I had to start over again), I have been following the induction plan all throughout!!

Certainly something to celebrate.

What's the net result you ask? Well, I'd say 8.2 pounds lost from March 1 to 20.

What's the next plan? I could move on to OWL, and add 5 additional carbs, but that does not sound like a balanced meal. So, instead, I'm going to do calorie-counting.

1200 calories or less each day from Mar 21-Mar 31st. Hope to lose atleast 5 pounds or so on this. If does not work, then I'll switch to the wendie plan, with ww point, and jumping points up and down.

I am nervous, however! Even though I plan to keep carbs low in my choices, I wonder if addition of nuts, grains, flour, lentils, fruits, and other complex carbs is suddenly going to cause my body to go in some kind of crazy confusion! I hope for god's sake this doesn't undo the hard work of the last 3 weeks! What do you think??. I have to be VERY vigilant and track almost every day to ensure the weight doesn't start climbing (w/o getting too OCD, ofcourse!)
