Exercise : 16km/10 miles in 1:46
Water : lots and lots of herbal tea because I still have a stinking cold

I am going to plug the calories into ************ for a few days to see how much I am getting, out of interest! I'll also lay off the hardcore running until I get rid of this cold, because after my run today I feel like poo.

I haven't posted here for a while because, as you can guess, my eating has been totally off plan. I think I'm going to buy the Beck book today. I know some of you have recommended it. I really need to try and figure out why I sabotage myself and also deal with my all or nothing mentality. I was going to do Phase 1 again but I'm going to see if I can just jump back in to Phase 2.

3: vegetarian tortilla pie (made with ezekiel tortillas and black beans)
4: greek yogurt w/ cinnamon and splenda

Also, made my mashed cauliflower in the food processor last night. It was MUCH creamier. I used an entire head of cauliflower, 2 garlic and herb laughing cow wedges and 3 T. cottage cheese + salt and pepper to taste. It was awesome. My kids both ate a ton of it.

OK - looking to get back below 170 . . .last three days for Phase 1 - tempting to stay on until the end of the week. We will see!
1) T peanut butter, V8 juice
2) 2% cheese crumbles
3) grilled chicken, sauteed veggies
4) peanuts
5) turkey meatballs, broccoli, salad
6) 2% cottage cheese with sugar free jam

Water - yep
Exercise - ULTIMATE!

You can do it!! I finally got below 170 [again] this weekend!
Giv'er!

Week 1 of Phase 2 (last day of Week 1). Probably my worst day so far. But I've known all week we were going to a hockey game and then out to dinner, so I tried to be as good as possible. Skipped the snacks because there's no real friendly food at sporting events.

B: Two lightly fried eggs, two strips of real bacon (oops!), cheese
L: 3 non-breaded buffalo wings, all the celery on the plate, a little bit of ranch, and 1 Guinness
D: Shrimp and broccoli garlic stir fry, chicken satay skewers
Exercise: Walked around the city for 30 minutes in the nice weather
Water consumption: Remains terrible due to twisted addiction to Diet Dr. Pepper

OK... jumping back into this thread... accountability is a good thing.

Dinner: Chicken Adobo with steamed broccoli and raw carrots

Snack/Desert: SB Friendly PB/Choc ‘Ice Cream’


I was supposed to have an apple and peanut butter for a snack this afternoon, but my schedule got thrown all out of wack with the time change today so I didn't have lunch until about 2:30 or 3:00... No need for a snack when dinner is 3 hours later. The good thing about it is that since I didn't have peanut butter this afternoon, I was able to have my most favorite PB/Choc 'Ice Cream' tonight instead of my originally planned NSA Fudgesicle.

I need this accountability too so here goes:

B - Decaf coffee w/sf creamer, 2 scrambled eggs w/lf cheese and 1 turkey bacon
S - none because bf was late because of time change.

S - 1 tsp almond butter
D - 2 Smart veg dogs and salad w/lots of vegs
D - nf greek plain yogurt w/sf jam, truvia and walnuts (portion was to big though)
Believe it was all on plan but need to watch the yogurt portion in the evening as it is getting too large.

Monday Phase 1
B: egg casserole, avocado, kefir
S: edamame
L: hot and sour soup with some wonton soup mixed in and cheated by having crunchy noodles
