I have to share my good news!! Went for a follow up apt. with my dr today, all of my blood work came back and he said that my numbers look really good (imagine what they will be after being on IP for a while!!) my blood pressure has already gone down and he is very excited that I am doing IP.
Sabotaging Thought: I'm exhausted but I'm at work so I can't sleep. I'll eat to give me energy.
Response: Even though I feel exhausted, it doesn’t mean I can’t push through and still get my work done. If I eat every time I feel tired, it’s likely I won’t be able to lose weight. Which would I rather be: Overweight AND tired, or just tired?
i know we are allowed to drink coffee but are iced coffee ok to drink as well, and not the ones made from ip products but from 7-11
Hi and welcome...!!
Black coffee with ice or blended to a frothy icy concoction is fine no matter where you get it.
It is the other stuff that is in the advertised "iced coffee DRINKS"... that are forbidden fruits at this point. Sugar and dairy products are not on plan.. flavorings sometimes are options that might be advertised as "sugar free", but usually the artificial sweeteners used are No-No...and of course the milk or cream that is used to make the coffee into a blended creamy treat...are not a go.. I think you already knew all of that that...
If ice is the only addition, it's not a problem. Anything else...means it is not a 0/0/0 food or drink.
Last summer I would order a black decaf iced coffee...and add a few sprinkles of splenda. Not as tasty as the ones with the syrup etc if that is what you had in mind...but for me, it was doable on a hot day. And really no different than an iced tea that way.
I just steamed broccoli in the microwave to eat with the broccoli and cheese soup. It is fantastic. However, apparently the broccoli is VERY pungent and the smell has dissipated throughout my entire office. I am not very popular right now. I cant smell it! I think this will be very funny tomorrow.
Sort of an NSV today. I had stopped wearing a particular pair of pants because they made that whoosh whoosh sound, you know the one, where your thighs rub together? I put them on today and "test walked" them at home. They are very loose in the waist but they were quiet!

I had to laugh, I am very familiar with the whoosh whoosh!!! You go girl!!

Awesome response!! I need to remember to tell myself that!!!

I love to freeze my coffee into cubes ( I LOVE dark roast very strong coffee) take the cubes toss them in the blender with some café caramel RDS and blend away. Granted it is not a McCafe but it hits the spot!
After "only" loosing a pound or so each week for the past few weeks, I finally had a "woosh"! 4.7 pounds this week!! I don't think I've had a week this good since my first two weeks on this diet! Yay! I needed this FINALLY out of the 170's!!!
I got my IP potato puree delivered today. I'm making cauliflower mash tonight because I'm exhausted, but I have a ton of recipes lined up - one of the main ones being the cheesy cauliflower tots!
Tomorrow morning I weigh in. I feel like I'm already losing, but I want to see that number. I'm kicking some serious butt. Hope everyone else's weigh ins that happened today or in the next few days are awesome!!
Holy moley whoosh! I had my official WI yesterday at 203.8 and I stepped on the scale today and saw 201.6!!!! And that was AFTER eating breakfast, taking a shower, drinking water, etc. I know the scale fluctuates within hours, but I really hope this holds out!
