It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan!

* Anyone, from any South Beach phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!
* This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.
* Because people from different parts of the plan are posting here, it'll help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!
* While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.

So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?

Back from vacation. Back to needing to plan things!! Problem is I just got back last night so I don't have much stuff on hand until I have time to go to the store.

I'm going to try to do as close to Phase 1 as I can, but I know for sure there will be wine and dim sum in the next few days, so I can't count it for real.

Phase 1
Pre-workout - black tea with soy milk
40-min walk + 1-hour yoga
B/brunch - nonfat plain Greek yogurt with tomatoes, roasted red pepper, dill pickles, feta cheese and crushed garlic

s- 1 oz almonds with a squirt of Bragg's liquid aminos, low sodium vegetable juice
D - vegetarian chili, tomato/cucumber salad with olive oil, mixed green salad

High fat - FitDay says 1047 cal, 27% carbs: 46% fat: 27% protein, 25 g fiber
NOT ENOUGH VEGGIES! ~ 2.5 cups, maybe 3 if I count the veggies in the chili

1) Smoothie: banana,fresh figs off the tree,spinach,carrot,whey,green powder,frozen blueberries and ice.
2) A piece of flax bread (from this recipe..it's awesome like cake!)
