Hi everyone!

I had several slip-ups over the weekend. Also my scale is showing 175 after 2 weeks and I had hoped, I would have more than a 3 pound loss in phase 1 so I think I will do 1 more week to see if I can get the scale moving. I know I didn't eat enough veggies or drink enough water. I really need to buy bottled water and veggies today. We have hard undrinkable water that is full of mineral deposits (it literally etches my glasses) where I live.

Bfast: Cottage cheese w Splenda & cinn. 3 cups coffee w skim milk & Splenda. Also ate a Fiber 1 bar but after reading ingredients I think I need to give these away...talk about a sugary food masquerading as a healthy food

Lunch: Egg salad in bell pepper halves. Diet coke.

Snack: Celery sticks w LF flavored cream cheese.

Dinner: Baked Salmon. Cucumber salad...cukes w mayo & vinegar dressing & red onions. Skim milk. LO mushrooms & green beans sauteed in EVO, herbs & sherry.

Dessert/Snack: SF Jello or if I get around to making them the bean brownies of Kara's. A little confused is agave syrup OK in Phase 1 or not? This is the only capacity in which I would be using it.

Lots more H2O.

Phase 1.5 for me today -

B. oatmeal soaked in unsweetened almond milk w/mixed berries & walnuts
L. Morningstar Farms veggie patty on big green salad with a light drizzle of Ken's Light Northern Italian dressing
S. Light & Fit yogurt
D. cannellini beans, onions and spinach topped with arrabiata sauce (so good!)
S. NSA fudgesicle smooshed with Ff Cool Whip

Exercise - 30 minutes of Wii Fit aerobics and 20 minutes fast spinning

I've had 2 extremely bad bouts with heartburn/indigestion in the past few days, so I'm making a couple of changes to my diet and will see if it helps... I was drinking SF lemonade last night at a basketball game when it hit, so I'm cutting that out. I'm also cutting out my morning V8 and limiting my coffee to 1 cup a day. Hopefully those small adjustments will help. If they don't, I'll have to make some other adjustments.

Breakfast: Chili Cheese Casserole – 1 cup Coffee with 1% milk and sweetener, V8 (1/2 glass)
Snack: Yogurt with 1/8 t. SF jello powder
