Morning!
Kiki: Thanks for the tips on the breakies, I delayed my next shipment by a few weeks because over the holidays I wasn't eating too many dinners so a have a zillion of them and I need to make room in the cupboard before I get more food, but I will run out of breakfasts, so I will have to supplement with grocery store stuff.
I can't wait to see that you made the 50 lb. mark!
I actually like the tortellini!, quite a bit in fact LOL, but then again, I used to add lime juice to half my meals when I was younger, so I obviously like my food on the acidic side. Somebody mentioned the same (too acidic) about the chicken cacciatore, do you guys find that too acidic as well?
The pizza is good if you make it in the oven and add a few veggies on top (mushrooms, onions, peppers)
Cindy: I have made a big pot of vegetable soup to eat as my daily vegetable serving, and I don't see why you should not be allowed to do that, it's just vegetables, so go ahead. I am always experimenting with different ways of preparing the vegetables to keep things interesting.
Some of the things I can't stand are: Black beans and rice, black bean tortilla soup for lunch. Dinner: Chicken with almonds, green pepper steak, teriyaki sauce w/ rice and beef. Dessert: Nacho crisps
My faves: Granola for breakfast, Minestrone soup, split pea soup, the beef patty for dinner, lemon butter sauce w/ chicken, 3 cheese pasta.
I should mention that funny enough, sometimes I find some item very tasty, sometimes I think it's just OK, so don't go by my recommendations only
.
And as you can read with all the previous posts, we all have different opinions as to what our favourites are.
This plan WILL work for you, they make it so easy for you to follow, that all you have to do is be prepared, make sure you always, always have fruits, vegetables, salad and healthy proteins on hand. I also made sure to either get rid of the junk or hide it where it's not going to be tempting me.
That trip up to Alaska sounds like fun!
ryzmom: 2.5 lbs is great! but just like everyone says, drink your water
. I think NS is a bit higher in sodium, so it's important to drink our water to keep things moving along. As for the veggies, maybe try different things? you never know when you are going to find something you'll like. So great that you have a PT to work with you, I bet your body will start looking very different in no time.
Newgie: I save my burgers and tacos for the weekend too!, it makes me feel like I am indulging
I weighed today, and I haven't lost anything for the week, bummer!, I wasn't very good with the water on the first half of the week, and I changed up my exercise, so I am hoping maybe it's all muscle and water retention and not a plateau!!
Have a great OP day everyone!
