Hey TaterHead, about your earlier question, the answer is "both", or however you want to use the On Plan thread: people post what they plan to eat and sometimes post what they already ate for accountability. I use this place to plan ahead. (of course it can still go horribly awry as I proved yesterday, but I try ....) Sometimes I will come back and update to reflect what I really ate.

Today is going to get super crazy later so I am getting stuff ready to grab.

Phase 2
B - coffee with 2% milk. Oatmeal with 1/2 banana stirred in and some pumpkin too (idea from Kath Eats Real Food's Tribute to Oatmeal - so many good ideas there! Even one with spinach)
L - spicy black-eyed pea/pepper soup with spinach. Cup of tea
S - Tofurkey rollups with cream cheese and green onion, celery with natural PB. Couple of slices of Haloumi cheese.
D - don't know yet - if I still have to work and my hubby is home I plan to send him out to pick up my favorite Mediterranean salad - shrimp, Romaine lettuce, olives, feta, peppers... if work is over then a well-earned GLASS OF RED WINE
dessert - Greek yogurt and/or nsa hot chocolate

P2

B Eggs, kale, coffee
Brunch, eggs, fruit slices, Mexican egg with salsa, chocolate cake (this wasn't on plan, but it was a work meal - I did good except for the cake, which I just decided I wanted and got it over with)
D Roast Beef with large salad.

Hmm...I posted but it disappeared. I'm going to do what you said Emma and use this as a plan and maybe edit at the end of the day for accountability. I really do need to have a plan I think. Today my plan is pretty ambitious since I need to keep cleaning out the refrigerator. I like to cook but I don't usually cook this much; I'm just getting a kick out of having all these vegetables around.

Edited: I didn't make anything on my plan....lol I think I did ok though. I really liked the kale chips. They tasted like popcorn!

Phase 1

B: kale chips and low sodium V8
L: hard boiled egg, roasted green beans, iced herbal tea
D: chicken with peanut curry sauce, edamame
S: nonfat latte

MissTater - I usually plan here and edit as needed

Ph 2

B:1/4 c. Kashi nuggets cereal with Greek Yogurt and agave (only could bear to eat half for some reason), coffee
S: v8
S: huge salad with balsamic and Mrs. Dash
L: leftover spaghetti squash pie
D: probably the baked falafel with tzatiki
S: popcorn (sneaking my own into the theatre) and diet soda

First a thank you to Sophie, because when I saw her menu (now at the top of this page) I thought, "Now that, I can do." I've been off and on SB for several years now. I call it "South Beach with Sins." I always have SB in my sights, but often have a bad week, or a bad meal. I also have a horrendous work schedule and so don't often post. That said, I did Phase I, once again, last week, lost 5 pounds, and started Phase 2 today.

B: chocolate protein shake
L: slices of ham, lettuce (spring mix), ranch dressing
S: celery and peanut butter
D: meatloaf (from the freezer), broccoli
S: sugar free jello

My plan this week is to make the meatball casserole and the zucchini and white bean fritters.

So, the past month or so have included cheat weekends...not so great for my waistline or the scale numbers. I still have one day where I'm a bit lax about my choices -- often eating mostly on plan foods, just more grains, fruit or wine, but in an effort to stave off weight gain, I know that I cannot let it run rampant for an entire weekend.

Back on plan today, though yesterday wasn't too bad.

1: smoothie (vega protein powder, US almond milk, pb, a few frozen strawberries)
2: salad, green juice
3: ?
4: buffalo chicken soup

exercise: maybe a walk or bike ride

[MissusTaterHead]

Needing something light today, something I don't have to chew forever like a horse. This is my plan, for now.

B: Coffee :/
L: Summer squash stuffed w/ lowfat ricotta, chicken, artichoke hearts and arugula; butter lettuce w/ walnuts and olive oil
D: Pot roast with onions, mushrooms and radishes, steamed broccoli
S: Sesame halva ball, chai tea w/ splenda

Ph 2:

B: we'll call it skipped since I still haven't eaten
L: leftover spaghetti squash pie
S: cucumbers and hummus
D: chili and baked falafel (yay Superbowl)
