Well, Day 3 went okay. Talked myself down from making horrible mistakes at dinner and stayed OP all day. I ate more almonds than I should have but I figured it was either that or a cheeseburger so I made a good choice. :)

11 more days until I can have a freaking apple!

And how sweet it will be! :)

Congrats on no cheeseburger! :carrot:

It's kind of funny the things I'm looking forward to in a week and a half:

Apples, oranges, breakfast cereal (only the healthy stuff. :) ), whole wheat bread.

funny thing is... i forgot we could have porridge in ph2! lolol yaaaaaay lol.. i havent really liked it since i was a child but yaaaaaay lol i'll like it now!

I am up a pound. It's ok, though. You learn from your mistakes, right? I weigh myself daily, usually, so it could just be water weight, but still! Anyway, I've decided to start a blog or something to keep a record of my food consumption. I also need to start exercising. Ugh.

Ok, I've been on Diet Hiatus for a while (BIG BAD IDEA) but I'm only up a few pounds from where I left off, so I figure it's time to get back on the wagon. So: Plan for the day-
B: 2 eggs, 1 c. green beans, 1 cup coffee
S: 1 thing of low fat yogurt
L: 2 c. spinach, 4 slices chicken breast, 2 zucchini that I'll microwave with a touch of salt and pepper and olive oil
S: 1 string cheese stick
D: Dunno yet- I'm thinking a hearty salad with some grilled buffalo steak? If I can get to whole foods and if they have it. Otherwise I will grill up some other meaty thing like chicken.

Also, my mom sent me a bread machine that'll be coming in the mail this week for my birthday (eeek, not what I needed to start off another P1 journey). Any suggestions for some high fiber, high protein bread machine recipes? Or good places to look?

I have no suggestions, but I am on the same boat. I have a bread machine, but have no idea how to use it for SB stuff.

I got tired of all the soy, chemicals & sugar in commercial/bakery bread so I bought a Zo mini bread machine that makes 1# loaves. Anyways, at the same time I ordered from Amazon two FABULOUS bread machine cookbooks:

Bread Machine Magic & More Bread Machine Magic

They are terrific: each recipe is for either a 1#, 1.5# or 2# loaf to accommodate all bread machines, super easy instructions (I had never baked bread before and all my loaves have come out perfect), LOTS of whole grain recipes as well as a lot of breads that have veggies in them that you could customize to make them whole grain.

I highly recommend this book. Also, if you order from Amazon thru 3FC (click on Store tab) they get credit for it. Happy baking! :)

ETA: Every bread recipe has nutritional stats per slice so you can easily see the high-fiber ones.

Thanks for the info! WooHoo! :carrot:

Alright! That sounds delicious! And sneaking veggies into your bread? Genius! I think I'll have to get baking.

Hi all- Day 2, so far, feeling fine. B: 2 eggs, green beans, a bit of sausage and cheese left over from last night
S: Yogurt
L: Caesar salad with chicken
S: Hummus and bell peppers (I made some beet chips which cost me dearly in terms of blood.... don't use a vegetable peeler to make chips!)
D: Spinach salad with avocado and chicken

Didn't weigh myself this morning, so I'll do it tomorrow and see where I'm at.

Uscarchie - Sounds like you did well (except for the blood part). I hope your digits are ok, today! I wish I liked avacados and hummus. I could add in so much more variety! I weighed myself this morning and I'm down .4 pounds. Weighing yourself everyday can be dangerous, but I'm a danger kinda girl. So long as you don't let yourself get bummed over the days when the scale looks back at you and sticks it's tongue out before showing that you went up 4 ounces, it'll be alright! :dizzy:

Keep up the good work and you'll be at goal before you know it!

Beets are not allowed on Phase I - even with blood! I hope you heal fast.

Beets aren't allowed on ph2 either, right? I love beets....
