It's time for another week in South Beach land Come on in and share your menus, your struggles and your questions no matter what phase you are on.
What's working for you? What challenges are you having? Got some great tips and tricks to share? Join us in this thread where we deal with the day to day nuts and bolts of South Beach living.
My challenge this morning was getting my BGL up to a functioning level so I started the day with a tablespoon of honey! Today's challenge will be the food at the Church picnic.
Phase II
B. two small slices of olive and thyme loaf, a soft boiled egg, an orange
L. avoiding picnic foods by bringing my own lunch. Sliced pork tenderloin and cucumber in a ww tortilla, celery and carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes
D. grilled chicken breast, cauliflower and zucchini skewers, green salad
Breakfast: 2 egg omelet with tomato, red peppers, onions, 2% cheese, LF sour cream and salsa; 6-8 oz V8; 2 cups coffee with ¼ cup 1% milk and artificial sweetener - Vitamins
Lunch: Chicken Crackslaw
Snack: Apple with peanut butter
Dinner: Salad w/ lots of veggies, turkey pepperoni and Italian dressing; 1 slice of WW Pizza w/ Turkey Pepperoni, Mozzarella Cheese, Red Pepper, Onion, Green Olives; Glass of Shiraz
Phase 1.5 for me today. By the time we cleaned up the church hall after yesterday's party, it was later than I had wanted, so we all went to Chili's for supper. I had a few chips while waiting for my entree, and then had a couple of onion rings. Calorie wise, I was good since I only nibbled on carrots and strawberries for lunch, but I hate when I let myself get so hungry that I'm tempted to cheat a little. And, oh boy, did I pay for it. I had to take 2 tums to get rid of the heartburn and nasty taste in my mouth. Blech.
B. 1/2 cup of Morning Sunrise Blend (quinoa, groats, flaxmeal)
L. kale salad, lemon "mousse"
S. cucumber rounds w/laughing cow blue cheese
D. kale salad, leftover zucchini & chard spaghetti
S. lemon "mousse" (my own concoction of SF lemon pudding, almond milk & ff Cool Whip)
B: coffee with milk and splenda; 10 cashews
L: black bean soup; 2 slices turkey rolled with 1 slice cheese; broccoli-stuffed mushrooms
S: 1/4 cup FF plain yogurt with 5 pistachios; cup of SF almond milk
D: curry ginger rubbed grilled chicken in coconut curry sauce with chick peas; grilled cauliflower
exercise: 1 hour treadmill

I can't wait to get to the point of being able to tell when a cheat will be "worth" it, you know? And good for you for getting back on it!
