It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.
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.
People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will 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?
How's it going for you?
Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu...
Ugh I gained 3 pounds due to pretty off-plan eating for a 4-day weekend. Hopefully mostly water. I ate a lot of good stuff (yay for planning!) but "supplemented" with way too much of the processed carby variety (boo for losing control).
At least the gain got me to get out and exercise, even slightly. That's an improvement over the last month.
Phase 1
B - coffee with us almond milk
C25K walk/run
Green protein smoothie with spinach, cinnamon, hemp hearts and maca powder
L - Zucchini noodles with marinara sauce and veggie meatballs (seems like I eat this a lot but I really only had it once last week after multiple attempts).
S - peppers/broccoli with hummus, iced matcha green tea late with us almond milk
D - Stirfried tofu with broccoli and maybe zucchini (have a lot of these two things). Maybe over/with cauli-fried-rice
dessert - Greek yogurt if I manage to get to the store
B - coffee w us almond milk.
C25K run
Protein smoothie with spinach, maca powder, cinnamon, a few blueberries & blackberries, flax seed oil
L - Veggie burger with tomato slices wrapped in Romaine lettuce leaves. Strawberries. 1 square dark chocolate with chili.
S - Peppers/broccoli with hummus. Matcha green tea latte with us almond milk. TOO MANY raw almonds.
D - Flounder stuffed with crabmeat. Kenyan kale. Lemon pepper quinoa.
dessert - XXX

Reason: what I actually ate
Phase 2
ugh back to logging on Fitday - when I do that diligently, I lose weight. When I "wing it" I gain weight. This is not very beachy of me to have to log everything and count calories, but I think I have developed some serious issues around eating and I can't trust myself to make good choices in the moment. Hopefully I'll be there someday
B - coffee w us almond milk
Yoga class
Protein smoothie with spinach, blueberries, matcha, flax oil and maca powder
L - Leftover lemon pepper quinoa with Kenyan kale with a veggie brat on top.
S - the usual - bell pepper & broccoli with hummus. Possibly a boiled egg or two.
D - stir-fry with broccoli and zucchini --- and either tofu or scallops
