  • Hey Amanda, have you tried Quaker Simple Harvest instant cereal? I find it much more satisfying than the oatmeal. I don't have the box here to can't tell you the calories, but I do have a couple of packs in my desk. I like the maple brown sugar with pecans. It has wheat, rye and oats in bigger flakes than the oatmeal. We use it for camping all the time, and I keep it at work for a snack.

    Anyway, yesterday had some swap arounds but I the calories were similar, so I'm counting it OP, if not POP

    B - oatmeal with 1% milk and pecans; strawberries (from my garden ); ww toast;
    L - salad
    D - grilled chicken and squash, some sort of carb

    Ss - yogurt, berries
  • Update to my plan for today . . . I got hungry, and luckily there was leftover applesauce in the work fridge. Add 2C applesauce to my food for today . . .
  • Wednesday ended up not so great. I did well all day, but went out for dinner. It was sushi, so it probably wasn't too bad, but then had some extra snacks when I got home and far too many chocolate covered espresso beans.

    Thursday and today were on plan though. Not POP, but close enough.

    Tomorrow is going to end badly again. Lasagna and wine will be involved. But Sunday I should be back on track and I don't think I have any off plan meals planned for next week.

    I'm retaining water, so my weight is up. I'm trying not to increase my calories until I know for sure its back down to 114. I'll probably give it one more week and then I think I may have to give up; 1400 calories a day is wearing on me.
