S. apple with a bit of cheese

I've been doing pretty well, but ice cream has been in the picture way too often. At least when I have it, I count it as a meal. But it's still not OP!
Today's plan -
B. my old standby - oatmeal in almond milk, w/blueberries & strawberries, dash of cinnamon
L. Summer salad (salad greens w/peaches, blueberries, strawberries, pistachios and goat cheese) no dressing, it doesn't need it

S- lilydale turkey smokie with vegetable medley
Later- not a clue, if hungry probably cottage cheese with yogurt and omega 3 oil
IE- as little as possible
I'm surrounded by delicious farmer's market food. But still, didn't plan well. I gave up caffeine today (not sure if that is going to stick or not!) so maybe that is why I was starving all day???

Exercise - Couch to 5K Week 2, strength training
Emma, I think the reason you were starving is that there was no hardcore protein source at your breakfast. Maybe today will be better?
B: crustless quiche with spinach, broccoli, tomato. cup of v8
S: lf cottage cheese with caponata
L: roll ups with chicken, cheese, mayo, pickle
S: celery with hummos
D: pork chops with saurkraut
Emma - I noticed the same thing. I'd be starving all day too if I just had cereal for breakfast. Good luck today and congratulations for choosing on plan snacks all day.
Phase 1.5, fruits but no grains
B: Berry & spinach smoothie
S: 100 cal nuts if I need one
L: refried beans, salsa & avocado, leftover greens
S: raw veggies, lf cheese

Hey all!
Quite a ride since I last posted! Tapas bar with friends (some white flour breading although not much on goat cheese round on salad, and 3 olives stuffed with blue cheese) Had a tougher day the next day but think this was the problem: Cantaloupe with last day breakfast at school. Hungary day but ate on plan with an extra snack. Getting the hang of "off for the summer" and OP life style mixed with more exercise. Will try to adjust
Today
B-Had to run out and walk, before it rained
L- Spaghetti squash, putanesca sauce, cottage cheese, tomatoes, basil and balsamic
S-Banana, cheese stick
D-Sister making who is on plan
No scale as I used to weigh at work so will shop for one.
