Here's to another week on plan!

[shelflife]

So I reread the book this weekend (atleast large chunks of it) and am going back to phase 1 for two weeks starting today! As much as I know the importance of a clean phase 1, I have one snafu coming up on Wednesday for dinner. I signed up for dinner about a month ago and it's got a set menu and it's all bad. I will stay on track the rest of the day and leave the worst of the worst on my plate. And not dwell on it too much and just move on.

Anyway, today:

P1D1
Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled with zucchini, spinach, turkey, and light cheddar
Sn: Babybel light and V8
L: Broccoli cheese soup and a pork pesto patty
Sn: Chicken with beans & salsa
S: Vegetarian white chili
Sn: SF chocolate popsicle, pistachios (30), small piece of LF cheese
Ex: 40 minute jog/walk --- so many mosquito bites to show for it too!

Thanks Zeffryn! The beer night was basically the exact opposite of everything SB stands for, but I was perfect the rest of the day, and I'm back on things today! Also managed to break the ice and got back to the gym (after months away) and did a step class.

Weigh in tonight at TOPS!

Ate dinner a bit late so I hopefully won't need anything to get me through the night? Someone brought our ward one of those beautiful Edible Arrangements, though, and it's really tough to avoid all that beautiful fruit--especially the ones dipped in chocoalte!
Sn: One orange slice dipped in dark choco. Couldn't resist! I guess it would be OP in P2 and it's a lot better than the donut holes I've managed to avoid.
