Hi guys, I haven't posted menus for a couple of days, and there's a reason for that!
It was a busy week and with DH gone I just haven't wanted to cook dinners when I can just give the kids something quick. One night I ended up standing in front of the refrigerator eating some lunchmeat and a lettuce leaf, along with a handful of peanuts. Needless to say I went back for more later, and it wasn't the right stuff. I will have a better plan for next week, making menus and grocery list today. I think I'll start a week of Ph1 tomorrow, just need to finish up my oatmeal and last grapefruit today.
So today:
B: coffee with milk, baked oatmeal, Canadian bacon, 1/2 grapefruit
S: V8, fried egg
L: Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup, Tuna Fish Salad with lots of veggies
S: Latte, celery with LCLC
D: WW pita pizza with veggies and turkey pepperoni
S: yogurt or 1/2 cup NSA butter pecan ice cream
38withfreckles, don't know if you are asking for advice or not, so if not, feel free to disregard. It is normal for things to slow when you start with PH2. I'm not sure how long you've been Ph2, but I didn't lose for a couple of weeks when I started Ph2 the first time, but then it picked up and became very steady. I did notice not much in the way of veggies in your menu, so upping veggie intake may help. A piece of pita is not much for breakfast. I find a shot of protein really helps get the metabolism running. Maybe put an egg on it? Also, the brisket is a high fat cut of meat, and not allowed on the plan. Your calories may be too low also, so you may want to check that. You can throw in some dairy, some beans, cheese, etc.

mmmm. Diet coke, the breakfast of champions.
Now I don't feel too bad about occasionally starting off my day with diet coke.

oi, yesterday was a bust! I slipped back into my old compulsive overeating habits. I ate an ENTIRE BOX of Atkin's bars--yup, all 5 of them! And then we still went out to the BRazilian steakhouse for dinner, which is all-you-can-eat fresh meat and salad bar (they come around with different kinds of meats on big metal skewers and slice it directly onto your plate at your table). I think it wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had those bars--the meat at dinner would have been fine by itself, but overall, not a good day.
we're having a group lunch today, so we ordered from Panera. I think I made the best choice I could: You Pick 2 (where you get half size of each item) broccoli cheese soup and Asian sesame chicken salad. Panera lists nutritional info online, and total for both items is 8g sugar (but probably less since that includes the little fried wontons in the salad, which I pick out and don't eat)
frozen grilled tilapia and tartar sauce (soy mayo and NSA sweet relish)
I think I'm going to try to make my own thousand island dressing and have a big salad for dinner.
I find frozen Edemame at Trader Joe's and at the commisary. I would think you could find it frozen at just about any big grocery chain. It has become common. I prefer the already shelled frozen edemame. I like it on salads "just" thawed or blanched a minute. I also like it hot with a spray of I can't believe it's not butter or a bit of real butter. I haven't tried dry roasted edemame, in fact, this is the first I've heard of it...I will be looking for it! It sounds yummy.
B-slice of cheese
L-tuna (tuna,cottage cheese,celery,onion,dill pickles,mayo,mustard,capers) melt on ww bread
S-tuna melt on ww bread
D-beans-great northern & black eyed peas cooked with a bit of country ham, celery and onions
Probably not the greatest day for calories or fat content, but alas, it was what it was.
BTW...I usually eat a lot of veggy's...today it just didn't happen. Yesterday was a much healthier menu.
B-slept late...didn't go to work until 1pm, so I missed b-fast
S-grapes
L-big spinach, tomato, feta cheese, chicken breast salad
S-orange and V-8
D-chicken breast, califlower, more spinach salad
This is a much more typical day for me!
B: 2 poached eggs on top of wilted spinich, LF ham, diced zuchini and green peppers sprikled with some mozzarella chees
S: apple and live active cheese
Dinner @2: Grilled marinated turkey breast and a stir fry of cauliflower,squash,zuchini and onions in garlic olive oil (in other words, I cleaned out the fridge!)
tonight...who knows...maybe a turkey and spinich sandwich on ezekial sesame bread and some greek yogurt later?
