Flying through! Work was great! I love exercising and bringing home$$! DH is napping but I'm going to try and persuade him to hop into the Glenwood mode. We need to check on our place and I have to be back to work Sat. AM. We could be sitting in the hot springs with snowflakes falling on our heads by 6pm. Anyhow, see ya'll tomorrow.

Chickadeee, I can't eat oatmeal for breakfast or lunch or I turn into a craving maniac. That's why I stick to a protein smoothie every day. We're all different. after my experience w/oatmeal I never tried anything else..

Ok girls, do I find Protein Smoothies in the receipe section on the forum.

And I think I will stick to 2 eggs with a veggie for breakfast, but a smoothie might work for me for lunch. Thanks as always.

Chickadeee

Today is my last day of phase 1. I am worried that adding carbs are going to bring back my crazy cravings. I am hoping for the best!

Good luck magrat0315! I'm having a good day.

Chickadeee, if I ate breakfast at 5 am, no matter WHAT I ate, I would certainly be hungry again by 9:30! That's 4 1/2 hours, and your body is telling you it's time for a mid-morning snack. Grains don't bother me in the morning. My favorite breakfast is oatmeal, and I usually eat between 7 & 8am, and it gets me through until lunchtime just fine. I do know that everyone reacts differently, though. My real comment is the 4 1/2 hour time span.

I don't know if there's a specific recipe but if you search this forum and,I think, the whole foods forum for "green smoothie" I bet you will find some of our concoctions

I like smoothies when it's hot out but I do my best with the same breakfast most days - 1 whole egg, 1/4c whites, 1 T ground chia, lots of whatever veggie I can find, usually greens or broccoli. If I have rf cheese or goat cheese I'll top with that and some salsa. That's the one breakfast that holds me all the way to lunch, whenever lunch is.

ETA: this might work http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/sear...archid=4673700 though I should have searched for green monster
I often go 6-7 hours between breakfast and lunch so maybe that's why I eat such a big breakfast

You know I never thought of the amount of time that pasted, I usually waited until 11:00 to have a snack, so I need to watch that. I should probably have my snack at around 9:00 than something again at 1:00. Thanks.

Well that link so did not work. here's a couple that will:

Twynn, Come see me! We'll sit on the deck and have hazelnut coffee. Sparkit would like to meet you, too!

Karen, I say "fixin' to", too. It's okay to read my posts with a slightly Southern accent.

Kim, Shopping with my BOY child is a challenge. Your sweet baby girl may love shopping. I remember when Auston was a baby in his 'pumpkin seat'. He would smile at everyone in the store. Those are sweet memories. By the time he was 3, He was staying home with Daddy.

Chel - I love your new sig

Evening gals,

Rough day food choice wise - I hate traveling with all the temptations!! - But like Chelby, I did it! Donuts were not involved.

Tomorrow starts early (for me anyway at 7:30a) and doesn't end until my flight lands back in DC at 10:30p. Another long day. This morning started with my meeting space not being ready, a snarky meeting manager, incompetence, technical hiccups and grrrr monkey!

Feet have blisters and other stuff I will saved for my locked personal online journal but I can't wait to get home! And I work FROM HOME on Friday, yay!!! I did hit the gym here last night ("gym defined as free weights and one treadmil :lol3)!

Have a good Wed night/Thursday!

Thank Cyndi, I always stayed away from protien mixes because I can not do soy products, but I will have to experiment alittle. I just need to be sure this will hold me over til mid morning, I don't want to get hunrgy at work and hit the snack machine.

Thanks for the links and the info on these ladies.

Chickadeee
