How did everyone else's day go?
BTW, Matilda, I just posted that Breakfast Casserole recipe in the Phase 1 breakfast ideas. I hope you like it!
Yup, I made it through also! I did have some bites of turkey pastrami and cheese as I was making dinner, but not much. I drank all my water and exercised. One day at a time, but it feels good to have been on plan all day. Cottage, thanks for the recipe! I am going to try this next week.
Hi, I'm a newbie to SBD. It really appeals to me as far as a healthy way of eating. Made it through the first day with the following foods:
B: 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 egg white
S: none
L: Grilled tilapia and sauteed cabbage
S: none
D: Grilled chicken breast, cabbage
I see from other posts that I probably need to eat more and with more variety. I'll keep researching and posting my meals here. Thanks for the support.
Still feeling a little sick from my plane ride yesterday, so I ate some crackers to settle things. On plan for dinner with a basic Greek salad with chicken.
Had to stop myself from eating a triscuit while making my DS's lunch today. But what I was excited about, is that I went to Olive Garden and managed to stay on plan!! I read ahead, and discovered on their grills, you can replace potatoes with brocolli...which was actually not laden with grease! I wasn't even tempted by the breadsticks! WOO HOO!
Thanks ladies!! (everyone else IRL would think I'm crazy!)
I'm jumping on this veteran ship for sure! Now that all of the birthdays for this month are over and only 1 more holiday--Father's Day--I have to work it, so hopefully I'll fare well over the weekend if the girls at work DON'T order
I have been doing P1 for 3 weeks on and off--more on than off--on the weekends, I BLOW it, but then resume life on Mondays.
B: turkey roll ups; ls spicy V8
S: hummos and cucumber sticks
L: salad with chick peas, eggplant, zucchini, lemon and basil
S: lf greek yogurt, 15 almonds
D: chicken sausage and sauteed kale
Goals today:
exercise - yes, upper body circuit
water- yes, 90 oz.
breathing exercises- still working on this
B. Breakfast casserole
S. greek yogurt w/chia and sf vanilla syrup
L. big veggie salad w/avocado and roasted chick peas
S. cherry tomatoes & string cheese
D. leftover Portobello Parmesan over broccoli slaw
Oops, got a little snacky last night. I'm hooked on the raw kale chips but they are usually made with seeds or nuts so a bit high calorie, especially when they aren't on my plan for the day!
Day 2:
B: flax muffin, refried beans
S: kefir
L: giant salad with salmon
S: string cheese (Trader Joe has fresh mozzarella string cheese. I'm in heaven), veggie sticks (maybe celery)
D: If the rain stops I'm going to grill myself some fish and asparagus, if not I'll grab take out at the Co-op since I'm on my own tonight
exercise:
arm weights, hoop & walk or bike
Goals:
100+ oz water
no unplanned snacking
Today will be a test. Lots of my off plan eating has been caused (excused) by insomnia and exhaustion. I really want carbs when I'm super tired and often gave in. Today I need to remember that the morning glory bread will not do anymore for me than the cup of coffee and if I must have food protein is a better choice.
Wt: 158.4
B: Break-free scrambled with 1/2 tomato, spinach & cheddar cheese. V8
Sn: Broccoli cheese soup x 2. cheese stick.
L: Raw kale salad with PB.
Sn: Cheese stick.
S: Turkey patty with grilled zucchini and laughing cow. Green beans.
Sn: Fake brownie?
Definitely having cravings today. The first time I did phase 1 I would eat in response to a craving, but only on phase 1 foods (therefore not satisfying what's likely a sugar craving with sugar). I'm taking the same approach today.
1: mexican chocolate cheesecake smoothie (cottage cheese, cocoa powder, US almond milk, cinnamon, stevia)
2: raw kale salad
3: edamame
4: family is having chicken tetrazzini....must figure out something else...
exercise: 60 min. booty barre class, 60 min. yoga class, 2 mile run

zeff - do you do anything special to your edamame to eat it? I have some frozen in my freezer. Do I just thaw it and eat it whole?
I just throw some into a bowl with a teeny bit of water (probably about a tablespoon), and pop it into the micro for 60 seconds or so. drain the water and lightly salt.
I've found that they are a really great afternoon snack. Salty cures the cravings for munchies and the protein really keeps me satisfied until dinner. I probably have about 1/2 c. in a sitting.
TwynnB - congrats on the Olive Garden success! That's a hard place to do well.
And congrats to everyone else for Day 1 of this round of Phase 1 DONE.
I did well yesterday! Ate everything on plan, minus my second planned snack, but I didn't add anything.
I did discover something: My serving sizes for hummus and mozzarella cheese (in Caprese salad) were double what I planned for! [4 Tablespoons vs. 2 and 2 oz vs 1] I didn't care yesterday, given what else I was eating, but in general it is something to think about. I almost always weigh nuts for this reason.
Now on to Day 2.
B - Coffee with nf milk. Mediterranean scramble (eggs, spinach, sundried tomatoes, lf feta), low sodium vegetable juice
L - black bean soup with melted lf cheddar cheese, side Caprese salad
S - broccoli florets and orange pepper strips with roasted red pepper hummus
S2 - 1/2 oz almonds and 1/2 oz walnuts
Dinner - Cioppino on steamed cabbage. Huge romaine lettuce salad.
dessert - Greek yogurt
