Hello ladies! Another week and another day to stick to being on plan. Post menus here for new ideas and/or advice on your menu. We'll keep the general chatter to the daily thread.

I'm going to try to ask myself when I eat something if
**I'm hungry
**it's REAL food

Phase I

B: mushroom, spinach and feta omelette
S: cheese stick and/or veggies
L: red bean with pepper and feta salad!
D: stuffed peppers (rice for family, cauliflower for me)
D: cashews. Must measure first! (or a cream cheese concoction...)

I'm beginning phase II - lost 5 lbs on Phase I - which was a real victory for me! I'm going to begin by adding in a fruit serving each day. I'll begin adding in a starch next week:
B: egg on top of spinach, tomato, green onion saute. Tomato Juice
S - I know I'm supposed to, but I never have time for a morning snack
L - Deli Turkey on a Salad
S: Greek Yogurt Protein shake
D - Salmon patties with Veg.

Wait - where did I put my fruit??? I know - I'll add strawberries to my salad at lunch. That'll work!

Where the heck did today go!?!?

Ph 2
B: bagel with whipped cream cheese, coffee, melon
L: chick peas, blue cheese, tomatoes and lettuce with RF dressing
S: cucumbers, pepper strips and carrots with hummus
D: chicken sausage, green beans and brown rice
D: popcorn

Got my water in too!

B: turkey roll ups
S: yogurt, cheese sticks and/or veggies with hummus
L: red bean with pepper and feta salad
D: mexican crock pot cass

Tuesday
B: 1 wasa cracker with 1-2 tbsp. peanut butter, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 sliced apple
L1: baked tofu, broccoli slaw with yogurt caesar dressing
L2: cheese stick and carrots
Snack: a couple of snappea crisps, 4 triscuits, carrots
D: salad with chicken breast, bacon bits, parm.cheese, goddess dressing, a spoonful of ice cream and 3 triscuits
S: wine and potato chips (I know.)
