I am going to plug the calories into ************ for a few days to see how much I am getting, out of interest! I'll also lay off the hardcore running until I get rid of this cold, because after my run today I feel like poo.

I haven't posted here for a while because, as you can guess, my eating has been totally off plan. I think I'm going to buy the Beck book today. I know some of you have recommended it. I really need to try and figure out why I sabotage myself and also deal with my all or nothing mentality. I was going to do Phase 1 again but I'm going to see if I can just jump back in to Phase 2.

This week starts my quest to get below 153. Let's get it done, body!

P2

1&2 (brunch): egg white omelette with spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and a bit of rf swiss; banana
3: vegetarian tortilla pie (made with ezekiel tortillas and black beans)
4: greek yogurt w/ cinnamon and splenda

Also, made my mashed cauliflower in the food processor last night. It was MUCH creamier. I used an entire head of cauliflower, 2 garlic and herb laughing cow wedges and 3 T. cottage cheese + salt and pepper to taste. It was awesome. My kids both ate a ton of it.

You can do it!! I finally got below 170 [again] this weekend!
Giv'er!

[maydaymayday911]

Week 1 of Phase 2 (last day of Week 1). Probably my worst day so far. But I've known all week we were going to a hockey game and then out to dinner, so I tried to be as good as possible. Skipped the snacks because there's no real friendly food at sporting events.

B: Two lightly fried eggs, two strips of real bacon (oops!), cheese
L: 3 non-breaded buffalo wings, all the celery on the plate, a little bit of ranch, and 1 Guinness
D: Shrimp and broccoli garlic stir fry, chicken satay skewers
Exercise: Walked around the city for 30 minutes in the nice weather
Water consumption: Remains terrible due to twisted addiction to Diet Dr. Pepper

OK... jumping back into this thread... accountability is a good thing.


Sunday, March 13, 2011 (Day 15) - Phase II/1 fruit

Breakfast: 2 egg omelet with tomato, red peppers, onions, 2% cheese, LF sour cream and salsa; 6-8 oz V8; 2 cups coffee with ¼ cup 1% milk and artificial sweetener

Snack: Yogurt with 1/8 t SF lemon jello powder

Lunch: Taco Salad with lots of veggies, avocado, black olives, LF sour cream and salsa

Snack: Missed

Dinner: Chicken Adobo with steamed broccoli and raw carrots

Snack/Desert: SB Friendly PB/Choc ‘Ice Cream’


I was supposed to have an apple and peanut butter for a snack this afternoon, but my schedule got thrown all out of wack with the time change today so I didn't have lunch until about 2:30 or 3:00... No need for a snack when dinner is 3 hours later. The good thing about it is that since I didn't have peanut butter this afternoon, I was able to have my most favorite PB/Choc 'Ice Cream' tonight instead of my originally planned NSA Fudgesicle.
