Tammie

s - don't know yet

Tammy- I think your menu looks great! But maybe someone else could double check- been a while since I did p1!

Tammie-

What's in the SF Latte? Is it something you are making yourself? For some chickies, caffeine creates cravings (for me, it pacifies my hunger when talking about coffee at least!). Instead of the second one, maybe some cottage cheese or a cheese stick? Seems like you are on track for your 4.5 cups of veggies. What about working in some beans??

Great job!!!

Yes, The Sugar Free latte is what I make at home. I don't like cottage cheese. Well I like it in small doeses but I have a hard time eating it. The latte because of the milk seems to fill me up.
The latte also fills the need for something sweet in the afternoon.
There is a mini coffee shop here in my office area. They use fat free milk and sugar free syrup. The kind I use at home. Since I have watched and looked at each thing she puts in sometime I get them here at work too.
I realized after I created my list for today I left off the beans. I am going to take my roasted veggies and steak and add some lettuce to make a salad I will throw some beans into that.

Thanks For the critic.

Tammie

Phase 1 day 9:

B: Belgian waffles w/ SF syrup (3FC recipe); coffee; V8 (BLECH!! I have to hold my nose getting this down. I know I need the extra veggies, so it's a must. I usually do eggs in the AM w/veggies, but for a bfast like today, I do V8).

S: celery w/hummus
L: leftover foil baked salmon w/tomato slices; brocc/cuc/tom/bean salad w/ Lite Annie's Naturals Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing (2 T)
S: SBD cereal bar
D: chicken/spinach casserole (3FC recipe), raw red/yellow pepper slices

60 min running (training for 1/2 marathon w/running class)

BTW- the Belgian waffle recipe is AMAZING!!! I was so craving any bread like item, and this tricked me into thinking I was eating a real waffle. Yum!!! Check it out- Phase 1 bfast ideas on recipe board.

Wow, some nice Phase 1 menus there

Jenn - if caffeine caused cravings for me I'd be 500 lbs It is my one and only vice left (red wine is for health purposes )

Scrappy - It's not totally "by the book" but if I had the waffles for breakfast and hated vegetable juice I would just make sure to have larger veggie snacks to get my daily total in the right place. Not perfect but might make your morning more pleasant (I hate starting the day with yucky food!).

ajowens - were you hungry today? That looks like a pretty small amount of food. How about some protein with your salad. One of the best things, for me, about this WOE is that I was never hungry (and therefore cranky!).

Tammie - great menu! Don't you love good coffee shops

and Zeff - I'm just going to live at your house

Zeff I agree with Cyndi I am moving in too. Will you post the recipes for the tomato casserole, Mexican chicken soup and chicken cheesesteak saute. I will do a search tonight and see if they are already posted. I am at work and should not be on here. OOPS!!!

Caffeine doesn't make me hungry. That is also my one and only vice.

Thanks Cyndi, Rdw1, and Jenne for the critic.

I wish I only had one vice

Going to try making dinner now that DW is off the phone with the boss...and I can make noise.

p2 modified for gluten free

Well, I stayed OP today but not on the planned out plan! LOL
I ended up having a couple baked falafel balls for breakfast, spinach and polenta for lunch(part of my gf plan), some avocado salsa, and dinner was tofu and stirfry... I work tomorrow so I will have to stay on plan, I can't take the fridge to work with me! lol

B: coffee with rice milk
S: grapes, hummus with veggies
L: leftover stirfry
S:?
D: mexican layer meal, refer back to my last post ;0)

LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER! Will at least walk 30 minutes at lunch if nothing else... have to go to the hospital to visit my friend after work so no time for the gym...
