So I'm in the middle of day 4 of phase 1. So far I've been PERFECT. Not even a little slip.

I've thankfully had no flu but I've been feeling sluggish and irritable. Everytime someone says something to me I want to shout "I HAVEN'T HAD ANY SUGAR IN 4 DAYS LEAVE ME ALONE!!" This is alot harder than I remember it being when I first did phase 1 a few years ago.

In good news I'm down 3 pounds.

S: Cheese string
L: Hard Boiled Egg and Spinach Salad
D: Chicken Caesar Wrap, 1/2 cup tortilla soup and a few fries

I'm leaving for a 3 week vacation tomorrow and so had no time to cook. Decided to grab a chicken caesar wrap and some soup. Forgot to ask for no tortilla strips in the soup. Stole some fries from DH. The entire time I was eating the wrap and fries I thought it tasted pretty crappy. And then I felt bloated the rest of the night, like I gained 5000lbs. I'm hoping that when I finally go to p2 that regular whole grains like oatmeal or brown rice don't make me feel so bloated.

Last night was unfortunate. I'm back on track today.

Phase 1.5, no grain for me
B: chia pancake with chard, veggie ham, salsa & rf cheese
L: green monster with blueberries
S: string cheese, pickling cucumbers with Mom's Italian vinegar

"unfortunate" ! I've had a few of those.
It's a "me" weekend and I am planning rather than just planning to plan!

B. eggnog - 2 eggs, skim milk and sf Irish cream syrup
S. V8
L. chicken salad on greens withe extra veggies, raspberries
D. BBQ lean burger on ww bun, carrots, celery, red pepper and cucumber, a glass of red wine

Revised because my morning got away from me.

L. multi grain bread (I slice) with pork tenderloin and lettuce, raw cucumber, raspberries
D. cold chicken, potato salad with 4 oz of new potatoes, tomatoes with pesto, I glass white wine

Just made the ricotta crepes, with sf blackberry jam...my husband and daughter both ate them up...with a little turkey bacon and some coffee, delish!

lol @ unfortunate. hope today is better. enjoy those blueberries!

DH ordered chinese food last night. I wanted to split an eggroll with him, so I split it in half, took one bite, decided it wasn't worth it and actually didn't eat it. Usually I'll do that, then eventually sneak another bite...and another...and another.

Feeling 100% better this morning. I do feel a little lacking in nutrients though.

Great Job RyleesMommy Sometimes I have days like those where I'm a diet ninja and nothing can tempt me.

Today is day 5 of phase 1. i'm finally starting to feel somewhat human. I'm going to attempt to start running again. My expectations are low. I've heard eating low carb will make me take a step back.

I've found I struggle with running on weeks I lose, the calorie deficit just drains my energy. Contrastingly I do great on weeks I basically maintain.

b-banana mango smoothie w/ spinach (yum)
l-roasted chick peas
d-sirlion in TJ simmer sauce, brown rice, sauteed kale

will probably add some snacks alter
