B: V8, 2 boiled eggs
L: Deli turkey, RF cheese stick, carrots, tomatoes, hummus
S: Black beans with salsa, RF cheese stick
D: Went out with work gals. Had a wonderful grilled chicken breast with grilled veggies. Way too much oil on it but I only ate half and left most of the sauce on the plate. Avoided dessert, but smelled my friends white chocolate bread pudding with warm vanilla sauce on it!
got rid of all that water weight and lost a pound this week! woo! i told my husband that I lost 10 lbs. this week...his eyes bugged out, then his eyes really bugged out when i told him i also gained 9 in the same week.
-
1: blueberry smoothie (greek yogurt, blueberries, palm sugar)
2: sauteed edamame, onions, bell peppers (seriously, this is such a good lunch. i saute them in some braggs and mrs. dash. SO yummy and filling)
3: cut veggies and hummus
4: grilled chicken, broccoli, salad
exercise: running (3.1 miles), cycling (15 miles) - 60 min. total
Yeah, it was completely defeating. I would go and work my butt off at the gym, stay completely on plan and wake up the next morning plus 2 or 3 pounds. I knew what it was, so I didn't let it throw me off, but it's still a harsh realization.
I like to have for snacks, nuts all kinds within limit, pepproni slices, hard boiled egg, 1 serving of FF deli turkey just wrapped up plain. That's all i have in my inventory, and I hear you on being veggied out, I did notice that eating more beans helped keep me fuller longer, and it didn't make me feel like the only thing I was eating was veggies.

Early preperation. Today will be a 15 hour day between work and school, so at 4am I made chili for dinner 2nite, when I arrive home at 9pm to eat it.
To help with cravings I bought the fudgecicles, which really helped yesterday.
This weekend I will be canning green beans to take to work with leftover protien for lunches.
My meals today are:
Breakfast: 1 egg 2 whites omlette with hatch green chili's and a little swiss
Lunch: Salmon filet in balsamic vinegar and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes
Dinner: Chili with organic grassfed lean beef
Snack: Hard boiled egg
If anyone can give me some different ideas for snacks I would most appreciate it. I think I'm overdoing the dairy and need some new options. I'm about veggied out. So anything else you can think of LOL.
B - black tea
(yoga/pilates)
chocolate peanut cheesecake smoothie... mmmm....
L - spinach salad with grilled tuna on top
S - celery with laughing cow light, Tofurkey roll ups
D - probably leftover stuffed peppers since I made too many last night. Huge green salad. Steamed broc/caul
Dessert - raw almonds & walnuts
Just went to the store and found a great new snack: CHIIIIIIIPS! They're called Beanitos, and they're low glycemic! No corn in them at all, no wheat, no sugar. Plus, they're really really good. Salty, crispy, and light tasting. Salsa and guacamole, here I come! (Somehow, celery dipped in either one of those has never really excited me . . . )
Oh! Oh! and nachos!
ETA: Okay, I need to make this relevant to this thread: they're going to help me stay on plan by keeping my hand out of the cracker box and chips bag.
