okay, for me I know that it helps to plan out my meals but it helps A LOT MORE if I actually stick with my plans. I don't know how anyone else is with that, but I'm proposing a thread where we put our meal plans for the day and then edit to say what we actually ended up eating. I think maybe if I'm sharing with others I will be less tempted to bend the rules/change the plans I make for myself.
cher, I'm just listing what I plan to eat each day - it helps me to plan it out before it's actually time to eat. i'm not doing anything specific like weight watchers or whatever, but if you are there's no reason that can't work too. =)
B: 1/2 "naked" power-c smoothie
equivalent of 3 eggs in liquid egg stuff
L: PB&J on sprouted multigrain bread
1 serving pretzels
apple
S: 24 almonds
D: bowl of barley vegetable soup
carrots w/ hummus
so today I stayed OP until a "major crisis" this evening... my hummus DEFINITELY went bad -yick! I guess it was in the fridge for longer than I remembered. carrots were also in pretty bad condition, i have been trying to avoid the grocery store without a definitive plan of what I am going to get. instead of the hummus and carrots i had a glass of soy milk and a banana with dinner. I also had 2 peanut butter cookies tonight at a meeting.... they were homemade FROM SCRATCH!
on to tomorrow -

... are we going to be logging-in for the weekends too?! b/c I'm game if everyone else is
Great job ladies! I'm not on here often enough but I went back to planning my meals aheald of time this week after WI shocked me a bit. At least if you have a plan, if you need to stray a bit it makes you think whether what you are going to have is equivalently good for you. I think for people dealing with our issues, it can really help. Without a plan, I can spend a lot of time thinking about what I want, what i should eat, whether what i want is really what I want, etc. Sometiems it's too much! I have been planning before going to bed each night since tuesday and so far it's working! Keep it up!
B: 1/2 cup ff/sf yogurt, 1/2 cup wild blueberries + strawberries, 1 Tbsp almond slivers
S: apple w. 1Tbsp peanut butter
L: 6" chicken sub w. carrot sticks
D: 2 cups salad w. ff italian dressing, 2 slices pizza
i did NOT stick with my plan yesterday... I binged. =(
i really don't have much food left so I need to go to the grocery store this weekend unless I want to eat only pasta until monday. But I refuse to go to the store until I have a list and have planned for the week so i'm off to do that right now!
