t's time for a new week of talking On-Plan!

* 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.
* Because people from different parts of the plan are posting here, it'll 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?

It's back to the 'real world' for me today.
I've had a great vacation, but to be honest, I'll be glad to get back to my regular routine.

Phase 2

B - oatmeal, v8
S - yogurt
L - leftovers, chicken, carrots, green beans
S - pistachios
D - white chili
An Italian creme soda some time this afternoon.

I'm heading to school half an hour earlier each day this week in hopes that that will let me get home half an hour earlier each day so that I can walk outdoors or snowshoe when I get home.

I'm prepared to hop back on the wagon and hold on tight so I don't fall off. I'm going to make this the year that I finally shed this extra poundage! The key for me is to plan every single meal and snack and have it all ready to go each day. I'm even keeping an emergency cooler stashed with OP food in my car for any roadblocks I may encounter.

B. oatmeal soaked in unsweetened vanilla almond milk with berries
L. broccoli cheese soup, bunless veggie burger
S. yogurt
D. vegetable bean soup
S. apple, if needed

[CyndiM]

Okay, back to work. I can do this!

B: refried beans, broccoli, scrambled egg & salsa
S: apple
L: lentil soup with spinach
S: hummus & baby carrots
D: navy bean and collard soup, http://www.molliekatzen.com/recipes/...hite_bean_soup

Exercise - 15m Wii yoga, 10 minute arms, 60m cardio (treadmill?)

[jenne1017]

I have a smorgashbord of items today! First day back to work but Day 5 on Ph 1!

B: coffee, water and yogurt
S: almonds, turkey pepperoni and cheese stick
L: veggies and Spinach Artichoke dip
S: small salad with Lime dressing (Yum!)
D: Chicken Divan

P 2

B-Protein/green smoothie
L-Veggies and salad topped w/chix,pinto beans and a smidge of brown rice
S-yogurt
D-buffalo burger no bun, vegies and salad
S-sf jello

I'm sticking with my usual food routine but with vigilance. I am happy to have maintained through the holidays. I'm hoping that cutting calories and grains combined with more exercise might kick the WL in again. Exercise was way down last month-a combo of holiday bustling and weather.

Exercise-2 hrs water yoga, 10 min HC and 15 min dog walk
