With one month on the beach completed and 19 pounds gone, I feel good and ready for more "on plan" days.

Question: I hate wasting food but am having a hard time saving an avocado when I only eat 1/4 at a time. Any tricks out there?

Yesterday phase 1.5

B - 1 cup decaf coffee w/sf creamer, 1 turkey bacon, 2 eggs, V-8.
S - 12 raw almonds.
L - Spinach salad w/tomatoes, onion, chicken, celery, radish, avocado, mushrooms, ff huckleberry dressing.
S - Apple and string cheese.
D - Chicken salad w/cucumber, radish, mushrooms, spinach, ff balsamic dressing.
Dessert - ½ cup Ricotta cheese, splenda, cinnamon, pecans.

Not bad if I do say so myself.

tallandthin - 19 lbs! you are ROCKING this! for the avocado, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate, eat within 2-3 days. if the flesh turns brown, it's ok, it is just a bit of oxidation (kind of like when an apple turns brown from the air), to prevent it, brush the exposed flesh with a bit of lemon juice.

First class down, it felt so great. I felt like a lump not doing any exercise this weekend, but i know that i needed to take it easy or risk getting a whole lot sicker than I was.

I am participating in a challenge at my gym - from Nov. 22- Jan. 3, whoever participates and loses the most weight wins either 6 mos. free membership or 12 free personal training sessions. I'm super competitive so I'm really going to try hard to win, if anything, it will be motivation to NOT gain any weight when we're visiting my family for 3 weeks over the holidays....that is a challenge in itself.

TNT- zeff's ideas are great, I usually take the whole thing cut it in half, then cut the side without the pit again, that way you can wrap it up still in the skin and less air can get at it... I just put in a baggie and when I am ready to eat slice a thin slice off where its brown and voila- fresh avocado!(I have a hard time just eating a quarter though! it usually ends up being a half so I only buy them occasionally anymore!

I didn't plan and didn't do too well today... back on track tomorrow and for dinner tonight as well...

tonight- taco salad no shells

Tomorrow:
B: chia smoothie
S: hummus and carrots
L: crack slaw with tofu and sriracha
S: apple
D:brown rice and veggies

Zeff- you go girl! I know you will win that challenge!

Water : 8 cups
Oranges (3)
Meats (3)

Which option will you choose WHEN you win Zeff? I'd think I'd like the personal training, lol.

Phase II

B: V8, 2 boiled eggs
S: RF cheese stick
L: Huge salad with kidney beans, carrots, hummus
S: Tall skinny hazelnut latte

S: Almond butter

Tuesday
B: crustless quiche a la yesterday, 1/4 avocado
S: not sure yet
L: hb egg and quinoa/spinach bake
S: 15 almonds, carrots
d: chicken curry with spinach and chick peas
cran water, coffee, tea

Phase 2

B: oatmeal with chia seeds and homemade applesauce, 1 veggie sausage patty
L: red lentil vegetable stew
S: a piece of fruit, 100 cal nuts if I need them
D: broccoli cheddar soup with white beans, roasted squash

Okie, I hope this is only PART of what you ate yesterday! Make sure you are getting in some dairy, and where are your vegetables?

B. oatmeal soaked in unsweetened vanilla almond milk w/blueberries
L. leftover crack slaw
S. Honey Crisp apple
D. a big kitchen sink vegetable salad sprinkled with feta, and a Morningstar grillers patty
S. SBD peanut butter cup dessert

Probably the personal training. I love the trainers there and would love to work one on one with them. There is one in particular that is an absolute beast - she is so small and petite and doesn't look like she would be hard at all...and then she works you until you can't work anymore.
