Hi!
I've finished my second day of the core plan, and while it felt like a breeze yesterday I had some trouble today with really craving bread and sweets. I've been back at WW since late april and had gotten into my old habit of sticking to my points range but doing it by eating all kinds of sugary fatty foods. I knew I needed to make a change and the core plan is exactly what I need, but it isn't going to be easy for me! I'm so accustomed to at least 10 pts of bread/bread type things a day plus sweets (i use every point available in order to eat this way, I might add), which is what is making the change a little tougher than I expected it to be. Anyway, here's my first two days:
Day 1:
b: oatmeal with 2 pts of brown sugar, coffee
s: ff yogurt
L: soup, grapes
s: ice cream (7 flex points)
d: channa masala (indian dish made with garbanzos, tomato, lots of spices), brown rice
s: ff pudding
Day 2:
60 minutes high intensity activity = 12 activity pts
b: ff pudding, banana, muffin (5 pts)
l: leftover garbanzo stuff & rice
s: ice cream (8 pts)
d: tortilla pizza made with ff tortillas (1pt), veggie patty, mozz cheese (2pts) and canned seasoned tomatoes for the sauce (3pts total)
s: grapes, popcorn
What are the rest of you thinking in terms of how often you'll do core vs. flex plan? Or are most of you thinking that you'll do the core plan most all the time? I've been considering trying to do 2 weeks core plan, 1 week flex plan so that i can make my old favorite meals once in a while.
Hope tomorrow is easier, I'm thinking about trying to concoct some baked goods. We'll see how that goes!
