Hi 100%'s. I have been lurking on here, just not posting much. Maintenance is going great so far. Pretty much doing P3. I haven't planned a cheat day yet as I'm not craving anything. And I love my P3 breakfast.
All of you are doing great, pictures are beautiful and you'll be joining me in maintenance in no time. Keep up all the positive talk, it is nice to read. I miss Wuv and her posts. Hope everything is going well for her (do ya hear me Lisa?) Good luck everyone! |
Good Sunday Morning...Just checking in...doing well here. Lazy Sunday for sure...it is nearly noon and I am still in my jammies and not sure I am going to change into real clothes. Not really planning on doing much today...just being around the house and relaxing. The last few days were really busy with a cake order and it feels good to have nothing on my agenda for the day. :) Hope everyone is doing well and has had/continues to have a great weekend.

lisa3289- yup, I went there.:D I know the reason I have been able to stay 100% OP this entire time is because of everyone here. I've learned so much from all of you and want to pay it forward. That is the main reason I read the daily. The reason I read this thread is for inspiration, and I get a big daily dose of it from all of you.
Starshine- great WI, NSV and also very lucky to score the condo next door. You should go buy yourself a lottery ticket today! mommahen- I'm having one of those Sunday's too! I didn't take a shower until after lunch. We are expecting a bad ice storm here, so I did all my shopping yesterday to make sure I didn't have to leave the house today. Have a roast in the braising in the oven, and relaxing on the sofa between loads of laundry. |
Starshine; I am so glad this new condo worked out for you. I always hate how hard it is to find somewhere to live when we have pets, My pets are my children, they are part of my family as I am sure so are yours. I am so glad for all of you :hug:

Lisa - I'm with ragdoll, I had to make sure it was you! What really threw me was the change in your face. Your face really looks slim, what a huge change:) And of course, your hair looks beautiful too:D

Happy that everything is falling into place and, of course, you are still kicking IP boo-tay :D |

I so hope the boo-tay kicking keeps up as I get closer to (whatever???) my final goal is! :dizzy: You are kicking the IP boo-tay too! :kickbutt: |

Is it weird that the thing I'm looking most forward to in Phase 4 is vegetables?
I'm seriously addicted to roasted cabbage, asparagus and cauliflower. |
Quote:
|
Yes! I love that veggies are required every day, and I have definitely taken advantage of the unlimited lettuce many times!
I have always loved them but I have found new ways to prepare them and that's when the addiction started LOL :D |
Quote:
When people ask what I eat, I start with "Oh, about 8 cups of veggies (that includes the lettuce)," and that pretty much convinces them that I'm not starving myself or that I'm being unhealthy. :) |

I miss fruit. Peeled an orange for my little girlie today and mmmm it smelled heavenly. I told her to hurry and eat it. :)

Just tried WF Strawberry Fruit Spread on the IP Chocolate Chip Cookie. Yum! Reminded me of chocolate covered strawberries.
|
I have been cooking my son phase 3 breakfasts, and I have to say that I am really looking forward to those breakfasts. I do love a big breakfast. But because of IP I have stepped out of my comfort zone with veggies...rutabagas, roasted everything and fried faux rice have become a regular part of my grocery list...I really don't see that changing much once we are out of phase one.

Lisa - thank you for the muffin recipe - I can't wait to try them - I thought I read it makes 4 muffins. Don't laugh at me - but do you eat them all at once or how do you count them since its one IP packet? (I can hear you laughing and see the eyes rolling)
On a happy note for me: I ran into someone at the grocery store that I haven't seen since I started IP and she said I look great - not that my hair looks great. :) I guess at 60 lbs people can tell the difference is not my hair! BTW- My hair is same as its always been - DH says maybe people keep commenting on the hair because now it lays closer /flatter because my face is not so round anymore. that's manspeak for a compliment I think. |

Men! My husband is NOT one to compliment me. The only (unsolicited) comment he has given me was "Gee. Your boobs are getting smaller. Will that stop?" Grrrrrrrr!
|
I'm with all of you on the veggies. I never understand the posts re: difficulty getting the veggies in as I could eat more than the 4 cups allowed in P1. I'm also trying new things I've never tried before - like rutabaga - and loving them!
And too funny about the manspeak!! My DH is the same. (Laughed out loud about the boob comment! I could picture my DH saying that! :lol:) Today was a good day ... Much better than yesterday's sulk. Not sure what was up with that, but I'm glad it passed. Maybe just a hormone thing. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! ;) ) Lisa, I love your food list. I did something similar when I went to FL for 5 days in December, and I had everything packed in individual plastic bags with each day's supplements, packets, and bars. It worked out great. For my longer trips (another is coming up in 2 weeks) I just try to take as wide a variety of foods as possible so I have some flexibility while I'm gone. The downside to that the last time was that I miscounted - but luckily thought I was taking extra but in reality managed just barely to cover what I needed. I'll double count this time!! We went out for Sunday brunch today and I had smoked salmon on mixed greens (brought along my own salt and salad dressing) and had my normal lunch at dinnertime. Glad everyone is doing well! Oh, and I did have to laugh about the daily thread. How true! Despite the bumps in the road (and hormone swings or whatever :dizzy:) there's nothing that has gotten me yet to seriously consider not staying OP. For some odd reason, though, I do have to admit a serious craving for a glass of milk (and I only ever drink skim milk ... go figure!) |

Question: Is there any reason (absorption or whatever) that I'm supposed to take some supplements at snack time? I have been taking them all at breakfast or in the evening, just twice a day, as snack one kept getting forgotten. Any "coaches" or wise people know why they spread 'em out throughout the day?

Ahhhhh.....finally....had some time this evening and got to prep my veggies and breakfast for the week! Roasted cauli mash, chicken broccoli casserole, cucumber-lemon ice cubes (for my ice cream), and strawberry bread pudding. I am going to run the dehydrator overnight for my zucchini chips - can't leave it plugged in while my son is awake (too easy for him to grab and pull over).
I wasn't prepared At All last week and had a big difference in my diet. My dad was here - which was great, but I didn't do my prep in time before he came and then spent what time I did have with him (and loving it). But need to be more prepared - especially when "morning" sickness rolls around at 3pm. I am up almost 10lb, and while I am expecting to gain, I am keeping an eye on it and want to stay in a healthy range. And fyi, my boobs and belly are EXPLODING - I'm only 8 weeks along and heard you show earlier than your first, but this is ridiculous! Quote:

Okay, here goes. :rolleyes: It's one packet. It is one serving. Scarf away! :hun: I spread them out over the morning, but I did that with my dark chocolate spinach smoothie |
Seriously, ladies...too funny! At least we all know we're not alone with the "manspeak":D Panties on your head...:rofl:
I've been trying to catch up on everything and have decided I'm just sticking to this thread, what you're wearing/eating and the daily. There are too many other threads/drama out there to keep up with:dizzy: I don't want to comment on them and keep them on the first page. Guess I'm getting a little cranky in my old age:crazy: |

I keep saying that too -- I'll just "pop in" and check out the 100% thread and see what's up...
... hours pass.. no work gets done...marking sits unmarked... Oh well. Gotta "Prioritize" and these days I need to be getting my mind around my food. I love spending time with you guys WAY more than my dust bunnies! They can just sit where they are.... oh look, here comes one rolling by now...:flow2: |

Good Lord Lisa -- you are an :angel: to have to put up with all this CR@P! (okay, I agree that there is a wee bit o' the :devil: in ya too! hee hee)
I'm sending you some "healing thoughts" from Canada. Hope the ice helps and that your back is feelin' better soon. I won't ask ANYMORE questions tonight to help relieve some of the :dizzy: (or is it :rolleyes:?) |
