Thanks, Rikki! Great to see you! I like to add the ol' disclaimer so beachers know they can "chat" about OP subjects-not just post menus!

It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan!

Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!
This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.
Because people from different parts of the plan are posting here, it'll help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!
While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.

So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?

Well I made my whole wheat cake last night. It was rather dry and the splenda icing was on the bitter side but it wasn't too bad. The original recipe had called for buttermilk and i didn't have any, nor did I have any milk (you can use lemon juice or vinegar to make a quick substitute). So I used an equal amount of FF cottage cheese plus vinegar. I don't know if that worked or not. But I'll be posting a thread soon about receiving help to fix this recipe. I much prefer my greek yogurt and grapes because my tastes are changing, but I figured that learning to bake goodies in whole wheat healthy ways would be good for me to do, so that when a craving for such stuff does strike every once in awhile, I'll be ready for it.

B- Turkey and RF provolone with lettuce rolled up on whole wheat wrap and Kraft's garlic herb mayo (IT WAS SO DELICIOUS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT MAYO!)

L- 2 slices turkey bacon, 2 eggs scrambled, cooked in olive oil. Topped with a tablespoon of FF cheddar.

S- Grapes, small piece of whole-wheat cake.

D- Not sure yet!!! Will incorporate a lot of vegetables though, this is for sure.

I can't wait to make my homemade whole wheat pizza, I may do that tomorrow.

I photographed a wedding today so I was on the go.

b - egg whites with sliced turkey and feta; half a pepper
l- two small pieces of grilled chicken and salad with a oil based dressing
s- cashews
d (wasn't that hungry) a serving of turkey pepperoni (SO yummy)

I was so excited because I didn't get tired today. I drove 1 1/2 hours one way and shot at the wedding for 6 hours. Before south beach and the exercising I've been doing, I would have been wicked tired. I wasn't though. And I even got caught in major traffic. I'm alive still! I LOVE that I have energy!!!

Hi, I find that sharing what I have eaten helps me be honest with myself and others, as my binging had a lot of shame and hiding food so here I am for the weekend:

Saturday
B - eggs, cheese, yogurt
S - A pear
L - Chinese restaurant - veg and meat of different kinds
D - tuna salad
snack at 10 as I went clubbing - frankfurter and cheese
snack after clubbing - a slice of cheese with tea

I was so proud of myself, there was none of the big fat burgers or cheesy chips with mayo. Just tea and cheese!

Today:

Breakfast - baked chickpeas with cheese and herbs with marinated artichoke hearts and fresh spinach and walnuts and yogurt. That was at 12pm haha. Haven't planed the rest but I am going somewhere tonight where they have naughty food and I shall eat a lot of something solid before I go out.

Have a lovely day!

This may be the opposite of "planning". More like assessing how I did. We had company, so it was harder than usual to stay on plan but I tried to always choose SB-friendly things.

Phase 2

Saturday
walk, yoga, walk
B (late) veggie sandwich on whole wheat, fresh blackberries with sugar free pudding
L - salmon and veggies with whole wheat orzo
S - Sliced red pepper and carrots with roasted red pepper hummus
D- Caprese salad with tomatoes from the garden, small green salad, stuffed bell pepper with white rice (boo! I didn't make this part of the dinner - but it was only around 1/8 cup cooked) and carrots/onion/tomato inside, topped with a little lowfat bechamel sauce (I made that so I know it was OK)
extra - glass of red wine

Sunday
B - coffee with lowfat milk, 1.5 slices 100% whole wheat french toast with agave syrup and blackberries
S - half sandwich of roasted red pepper hummus and sliced tomatoes on 100% whole wheat bread
L - shrimp & snapper ceviche with sliced avocado and a side order of pinto beans
D - broccoli, sweet potato & tofu stir fry and a big green salad.
dessert - Greek yogurt
exercise - something, haven't figured out yet...

Emma, that shrimp and snapper ceviche sounds wonderful. Ceviche is one of my all time favorites. My Dad could make a mean one. One time when we were in the Bahamas, he made a conch one...OMG!!! Bring on the limes.

1. Smoothie: Chard, spinach, green powder, hemp powder, frozen cherries and blueberries, soy milk, dates for sweetener, a piece of ginger and ice.
2) Going to do something with salmon and a bag of broccoli slaw. Have to go to the grocery for more veggies (note to self, don't forget onions!!!!)
3) No idea for evening..depends on what I find at the veggie stand later!
4) sipping chia fresca

Cyndi- your lunch out sounds fabulous!

B: smoothie: banana, 1/2c blueberries, handful spinach, TJ's whole grain drink, ice
S: fresh picked apple with pb(small and tart- not sure it was ready to be picked but it was good!)
L: leftover tofu and veggies
S: grapes, 72%dark chocolate with almonds(Godiva!)
D: some type of vegetable casserole I think(ended up making kale, mushroom, and garlic sautee with large strawberry salad YUM! also had an amy's bistro burger which is not completely sbd compliant.)

Probably a little much on the fruit today :/ will skip my dessert smoothie

Cat - the ceviche was delicious! And the best part is that it was a huge serving so I took half of it home and will have it today for lunch.

I was proud of myself yesterday for being at a Mexican restaurant and making a healthy choice with that ceviche and beans ... but the rest of the day fell apart. I didn't have my planned dinner (we had leftovers from our guests, so I went into grazing mode, thinking that food had to be eaten). Ick.

Phase 2

Pre-workout: decaf green/white tea
Walk to yoga class, walk home
B - flaxmeal muffin with wild blueberries
L - leftover ceviche with a big mixed green salad. Pinto beans.
S - freshly picked apples (they are tiny) with natural peanut butter
D - (last night's plan) broccoli, sweet potato and tofu stirfry with buckwheat soba noodles, big tomato salad
dessert - nonfat greek yogurt
