This morning, I briefly stepped on the scale. Keeping in mind that water fluctuations can cause weight fluctuations, I was still pretty pleased. 168.8 is nothing to sneeze at. That tiny little .4 made me smile. When I passed the mirror this morning, I finally saw the difference. My face is thinner, my belly is not sticking out as far, and my clothes are fitting better. The place where my stomach folds over at the bottom is not as deep, and when I stand straight, it isn't folded over touching.
I actually ate my breakfast before I went to bed this morning. This time I fried my eggs on the stove instead of using my electric skillet and the difference was wonderful. The yolks didn't have to be broken, they weren't a floppy mess, and they were beautifully done. I used a sugar free steak seasoning and it was just the thing to make my eggs super yummy. I also found out when I ate my lunch today that refrigerated deviled eggs should be left at room temperature for a while before eating them. They taste much better!
Since I have to make my wings tomorrow night for Wednesday and Thursday, I decided to make the custards tonight. The problem? I followed the recipe and there was a little batter left over. I made three batches total and poured the batter into 8 ounce glass, oven safe containers I found from Walmart. Not true ramekins, but they'll do. The batter was pretty thin, so the custard didn't set in the time I was supposed to bake them. It took one hour, but they look beautiful. Lightly brown on top. A little jiggly. Smells delicious. It's gonna be so hard to wait to eat them!
I feel a little sorry for the hubby. He's not low-carbing it, so I am not letting him partake in this, but I will have to make him some traditional custard.
There was a bit of batter leftover, and I made a mistake with it. I decided to put it in a saucepan and try heating it up on the stove, stirring constantly. I knew the moment I messed up. The mixture went from thickened and creamy to grainy. I broke the custard. It came out with an awful texture, but the taste was okay.
Later tonight, I am going to make a modified version of the buffalo omelette. I'll update on how it goes.
UPDATE:
The modification worked out perfectly! I used my electric skillet, which doesn't even need butter or oil when cooking, cut the omelette recipe by a third, and made three egg "pancakes". When they were done, I used only half of the cream cheese mixture and spread it evenly over each piece, then rolled them up. It was just enough heat and just creamy enough to satisfy. It was even hubby approved. I am full without being stuffed, which is so much better than I felt last night.
So this is what I ate today:
Breakfast: two eggs fried in butter
Snack: string cheese and BPC
Lunch: four deviled egg halves
Snack: half of a serving of keto custard without the sauce
Dinner: 2 egg "pancakes" spread with half the buffalo cream cheese
After dinner: another cup of unsweetened BPC
Still not totally sick of eggs at the moment! That is the very best thing.
The sad moment for me tonight: I cut the corner of my mom's door thinking to pick on the dog a little and see if he wanted to come sit on the loveseat with me. I saw the empty spot where he would be, and it hit me all over again. I do miss him so much. I really wish I could hold him and hug his neck one more time and look to see him looking back adoringly with those big, beautiful brown eyes.
