Sunday and yesterday - forget it!! Totally off plan.

5/19 actyak:
B: smoothie with measured portions of blueberries, kefir, chia seeds, cacao powder
S: 15 almonds (measured!!)
L: organic hot dog, salad with 1/4 avocado, 2 tbsp. TJs goddess dressing
D: 3 grass fed meatballs (homemade), small bowl spicy fish soup (also homemade), carrots

Need to measure and exercise portion control!!

mckellen, thank you for putting the thread up.

Yesterday I was totally bummed, no movement on the scale or on the tape measure. So, I am continuing with pretty much PH1 this week. I don't get it, all I have changed and zero changed for me.

B: Eggs and green beans, coffee
S: String cheese and almonds
L: Beef Pattie with sliced tomato
S: Cup of tea, nuts
D: SB Shepherds pie and salad.

If I eat anymore veggies, I will be a rabbit soon.

Chickadee, how long have you been on Phase 1? It is very typical to stall after 2 weeks or so.

I should have started PH2 this week, I was on PH1 2 weeks. But no results that I can see. And I went junk food free for two weeks and left simple carbs out of my meals, so lots of veggies, lean meats, salads, dairy and nuts. I do not want to give up, but disappointed.

Did you weigh when you started? When did you first weigh - I think I remember that you said you hadn't weighed or measured at first. Take heart - sometimes, especially if you have ever done low carb before, you don't get a huge loss at first. I have a friend who has a lot to lose who has been doing SBD since last August and has lost about 30 lbs. or so, but she loves this WOE and feels like she can sustain it, so that's 30 lbs. that hopefully won't come back on.

5/20 actual:
B: blueberry/kefir smoothie with chia seeds and cacao powder
L: big salad with 1/4 avocado, 2 tbsp. feta cheese dressing, carrots, 1/4 cup hummos
S: 15 almonds and a cheese stick
D: cucumber slices, 3 grass fed meatballs and roasted artichoke hearts
S: glass of wine and roasted chick peas

PH1 WK3

B: Egg and cheese omelet, coffee
S: String Cheese and nuts
L: Mock Oatmeal
S: Tomato and ham and pickle rollups
D: Chicken breast with peppers and salad

5/20 actual
I'm on the road today, chaperoning the 4th grade trip (wish me fortitude), so my eating will be on the run AND I am taking myself to a movie this afternoon as a reward and will have a small popcorn there (no butter).
B: usual blueberry/kefir smoothie
S/L: carrots/hummos/cheese/almonds
S: small movie popcorn no butter
D: spicy fish soup
after dinner: glass of red wine

Mmckellen, please tell me the ingredients for your morning smoothie? Will it fill me up like eggs and veggies.

B: Eggs, coffee
S: string cheese nuts
L: Turkey stick and cheese
S: Yogurt
D: Chicken, coleslaw, coffee
S: Small salad

HI Chicadee,
I use 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup kefir (or 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt and 1/2 cup grass fed whole milk), 2 tbsp. chia seeds, and 1 tbsp. cacao powder. I do find it quite filling - there's a lot of protein in the kefir/yogurt, and the chia seeds add fiber. You could sub another fruit if you want, berries are really good because they're SBD approved. I blend in a magic bullet blender.

5/22 plan:
B: blueberry/kefir smoothie, 15 almonds
L: cheese/carrots/cucumbers/hummos
S: off plan snack
D: homemade pizza with tomato sauce, mozz cheese, lean bacon and mushrooms. Unfortunately only crust available was white bread.
After dinner: a couple of glasses of wine (more than I intended)

Saturday 5/23:
B: usual smoothie
L: hummos/carrots/cucumbers/cheese/almonds
D: not sure since we will be out of town. I probably won't be able to post again until Tuesday am. Have a great weekend everyone!!
