Just a place to come to, to post your daily food intake, points, calories, carbs, water intake...whatever you keep track of...instead of looking for that pesky notebook that you keep misplacing! Oh...that's me! Sorry.

broccoli and cheese omelette, 5:30 am
2 eggs
last night's leftover steamed broccoli
2 slices of American cheese
2 cups black coffee
8 oz water.
snack, 8:30am
handful of walnuts
another snack...11:30 am
2 slices of swiss cheese
2 tsp mayo and broccoli sprouts....rolled up inside... Hey, don't laugh! I need to be creative!
***Now, do you see why I need to keep track of my grazing?
Lunch...Well, I never really got around to that...I went to pick my daughter up from school...usually takes two hours, total, there and back....I left here at 2:30 and did not get back home til 6ish...Lovely, rainy weather we're having...well, that and missing the turnoff for the expressway and having to take the horrible alternate route in rush hour, Friday afternoon traffic... I must say...I would be a mass murdering lunatic if I had to do that everyday! Daughter was starving...so I even pulled into a Wendy's drive up and she got something. It would have been so easy to just grab any old thing and say, "well I haven't eaten yet..." That, combined with frustration could have turned into a real chow fest....but I waited til I got home.
So, with no further ado, here's what I had for dinner:
Eggplant Lasagna...Sbd recipe, I will post in recipes
A slice of Guiltless Pumpkin pie.... yum...will post this also.
Liight Cool Whip
I must say, that I did nibble on the cheese a bit as I was making the dish...(before the long journey...if I had to cook AFTER that trip, it might have been a whole different story!
Moral of the story: BE PREPARED!
Oh yes...I drank a gallon of water yesterday! Literally! I measured out a gallon, and just drank that all day long. glug glug

Feel free to join me! I see you lurkers out there!
This is really keeping me in line for some reason...
Anyway...here goes Sunday:
Breakfast~ 9:30am
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 pear
1 cup Constant Comment Spice Tea...
Snack: 2 slices Muenster cheese
Lunch: 4:30pm
1 can tuna, onions, celery, mayo
carrots, celery, radishes
Dinner: 7:30pm
(still full from "lunch")...we went out, so I ordered a Chef Salad to bring to work tonight and had a bowl of French Onion Soup.
S: fat/sugar free fudgsicle
Here's where things get muddled...I was SO BUSY last night, I never got a chance to tackle my salad, (which was so big, I shared it with three other girls!) til about 5:30 this morning. Is it Dinner, Part 2? Breakfast? I think I'll count it as dinner. At any rate, this is what I had:
Chef Salad, which consisted of lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, onions, olives, roast beef/turkey/ham/cheese rolled up and sliced. I had roasted red pepper dressing on the side, maybe about 2 tbsp.

Hey Kat - Thought I'd join you here. First morning of South Beach. I am still trying to read through the book and prepare. DH is gone till Wednesday so we are going full force then.
Breakfast 9:30am:
Egg whites with Spinach, Onion & 1 slice swiss cheese
Turkey Bacon - 2 slices
Drinking water and Crystal Light
Snack 11:45 am:
1% Cottage Cheese
Lunch 1:20pm:
Grilled Chix Breast on salad - mixed lettuce, bit of egg, onion, olives & chickpeas
Dressing - Blue Cheese (1T) - No sugar, low carbs (I guess that was ok)
Few bites of squash a friend wanted me to try.
Iced Tea
Dinner:
Pistachio Grilled Chix Salad - Didn't like the dressing. Recipe in SB Book. Chix was yummy.
Dessert:
Chocolate Ricotta
Grabs a few peanuts here and there. I know I had too many nuts today.
How does that sound??? I am going to try to incorporate more veggies with snack time, but I have to plan that ahead. The other things are just so simple to throw in a bag.
Not looking forward to the cravings -- I am so use to having oatmeal, granola bars and fruit.
Sounds good, Barb...I try to get as many veggies in as I can...get some nice Italian or Caesar dressing...I think it's 3 gms of carbs or less in the dressings. They say don't get the low fat dressing because, they generally have more sugar in them.
About cravings: I noticed that when I omitted the carbs, i really did not crave them at all. Even the first days I was on program. It sounds like you are well prepared for your new adventure! I'm glad to have you join me here!
That said...I'm having a total meltdown PMS day today, so I'm not going to post my bad choices...I shouldn't have gone so long without eating last night...I came home ravenous and just started to graze...good stuff at first and then...evil laugh...my inner carb shark came out of hiding...let's just say it wasn't pretty.
I'm chalking today up to PMS and moving on. I'm going to the gym this afternoon, taking two classes again: Body Pump and Step. That will get me back where I need to be.

Hi Kat - Sorry to hear about the PMSing day! I can relate - thank goodness it was last week for me! The hardest thing for me will be no fruit for the next couple weeks. I have cut out a lot of the bread, potatos, rice, etc. over the past year so hopefully my body won't even notice!!
Breakfast
Eggbeaters omelet with small amount of ham and cheese
Lunch:
Thai Chicken Salad - lots of foofoo lettuce (looked like something they feed animals at the zoo), small amount of chicken, water chestnuts, snow pea pods, a sesame/sweet/sour dressing
Snack:
cashews
Kudo bar
Dinner: (this was a phase 2 meal)
roast beef (4 oz )
boiled potatoes
carrots
Hey, Terri! Glad to have you join us! The more, the merrier! This way we can compare and maybe get a few new ideas...I hate to eat the same thing over and over.
I haven't eaten yet today, but this is what I'm contemplating:
Breakfast:
oatmeal with walnuts, splenda, cinnamon
coffee
Lunch:
egg salad served over garden salad: lettuce, cukes, tomatos, whatever's there
Dinner:
Chicken Marsala, served over mashed cauliflower
green beans
Snacks: I've already got my chocolate sf/ff pudding made to combat any PMS cravings.
Also, cantelope chunks with cottage cheese...for work tonight.
That's it!
And now, I'm off to the gym...Step class at 10...I may stay and take the Pilates class afterwards.
Good Morning Food Friends -
I am taking today off work so I am off to a sloooowww start. I slept til (:30 and just had breakfast:
Breakfast 10:00am:
Egg white omelet w/ lil ham and reduced fat feta cheese
Lite Cottage Cheese
Few nuts
Lunch:
2 slices RF Swiss Cheese
2 slices Lite Deli Ham
handful of mixed, unsalted nuts
Snack:
Lil bit of Turkey
String Cheese
Dinner:
Chix & Salad w/ Blue Cheese
Dessert:
Sugar Free Popsicle
Not enough veggies today - found myself snacking on nuts while fixing dinner. Was a stressful day - pretty happy with it. Well, it's not over yet, but I only going near the kitchen for my popsicle!
dinner: corned beef and cabbage
1 head of cabbage sauteed with onion in a bit of butter, add 1 can corned beef...mush all together, sounds gross, tastes fabulous!
snack at work:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
cantelope chunks
Remarkably, I have NOT touched the brownies that are sitting on my counter. (made yesterday when I was being bad, because my son has been dying for a cookie or a brownie.) He can eat just ONE and be good for the day... Where the heck did he come from?

Lunch: (went out with buds from work)
Salad bar (woohoo) - lots of lettuce, 2 boiled eggs, 1 TBSP cheese, red & green peppers, mushrooms and no fat dijon dressing that I realized must have sugar
2 small slices of bread that were as dry as croutons
Snack:
chocolate chip cookie which got immediately deducted from my flex points
Dinner:
maple-glazed salmon (posted on recipe thread)
caesar salad
Yesterday - food was pretty good - grazed a lot, but didn't eat anything off plan. Didn't get in enough veggies.
Today:
Early snack (7:30am):
1 Deviled Egg
Breakfast (9:30am):
Egg whites w/ spinach, onion & feta
1 sausage link (should have opted for turkey bacon, but it was yummy)
Morning Snack:
Green Beans
Lunch:
Grilled Chix Breast Salad w/ FF Honey Mustard Dressing
Opps:
The Fruit basket arrived from DH - had few pieces (hey, it could be worse, right?)
PM Snack:
1% Cottage Cheese
30 pistachio Nuts
Planned Dinner:
I grazed on fruit through the afternoon and had a slice of cheese and ham when I got home. I may just have an egg or something simple tonight and skip dinner. I know, not great, but I feel a little bad about all the fruit and I am a feeling like an emotional wreck at the moment. I am going to force myself to exercise and then get comfy for the evening. Maybe some nice herbal tea will help.
Planned Dessert:
SF Jello or SF popsicle - I find the popsicles really help my sweet tooth!
Wednesday's food: BAD! It was a PMS eat everything in sight day.
Thursday's food: better
breakfast:
2 egg beaters, cheese
snack:
string cheese
lunch:
Boston Market Southwest Grilled Chicken salad
(I thought this was a good choice until I checked DWLZ points AFTER I ate it. It wasn't good for WW but not bad for SBD. Tasted good thought!)
