Zef-They are listed on the "foods to avoid" list. I think they have a fairly high sugar content. I think I'm going to ignore the fact that they are off-plan though, since I eat them rarely and they have some other nutritional benefits.
B-slept right through it (yay for days off)
L-Veggie flat-bread sammie (not entirely whole grain, but considering the other options I'm putting it in the win column)
D-Salmon florentine with asparagus and broccoli
Spent the whole day shopping with my mother, since before today all the pants I owned I could take off without unbuttoning.
UserNameTaken, Congrats on having to buy new pants.
Today I ate (phase 1.5)
B - Protein shake
S - apple and natural peanut butter
L - White chicken chili and spinach salad, onions, radish, mushrooms, lettuce and lf ranch dressing. (didn't feel good after eating)
S - 1 cup Greek nf yogurt w/cinnamon, splenda, walnuts
S - 1 cup Greek nf yogurt w/cinnamon, splenda, sf jam and walnuts
Probably my worst on plan day since I started . Too many nuts. Lunch was late and I wasn't hungry for dinner. All this Thanksgiving todo is harder than I thought it would be. Will be glad when it is over and all leftovers are gone and life is normal again!
Yes, I'm actually planning my meals today I don't want to use the holiday as an excuse for a free for all. I've been doing way too much of that lately.
B: yogurt, berry, chia & protein powder smoothie (has anyone tried the Trader Joe's frozen cherry mix? yum!)
s: clementine or 2
L: split pea soup with veggies
D: tofurkey (usually half a serving because the servings seem large) with roasted veggies, mashed cauliflower, roasted squash
Also planning somewhat today, but giving myself permission to slip a bit.
Phase 2
B-pumpkin smoothie (canned pumpkin, unsweetend vanilla almond milk, spices, and splenda), Pumpkin buckwheat pancakes with agave nectar
L-Turkey breast, lemon brussel sprouts, as little of the spin/artichoke dip Hubs bought at costco as possible
S-small sliver of pumpkin pie (will turn into a pumpkin today most likely)
Probably won't have real dinner, just snack on some more turkey and brussel sprouts.
20 minutes abs yoga already today. My goal is to add another 45 min exercise before it's over.
I came so close to staying on plan - Not too bad if I say so myself and I also had a good time visiting with family.
Thanksgiving Day - phase 1.5
B - 2 eggs, 2 turkey bacon, V-8
S - 3 tsp of guacamole (no chips!)
L - Shrimp Cocktail (shrimp, dill relish, onion, mayo, ketchup)
S - Greek nf plain yogurt w/cinnamon, splenda, pecans
D - Turkey and a cucumber plus two spoon licks of the yams as I was making them.
S - Greek nf plain yogurt w/cinnamon, splenda, pecans
I had planned on making me a SB pumpkin pie but got too busy with family but didn't really miss it. I also planned on making a better veg to go with my turkey but again, time slipped away from me. But overall I'm satisfied with how I did and TG is over and done with and I'm pushing forward. How did the rest of you do?

I did not do nearly as well as you as far as sticking to the plan (had a bit of stuffing and potatoes), but for the first Thanksgiving in a loooong time I did not eat to the point of discomfort. Back on plan as well as I can today.
Brunch-Eggs, spinach, RF mozzerella, and salsa in 2 carb balance fajita size wraps
Snacks-TBD
Dinner-Spaghetti and meatballs with WW spaghetti
Questions: What is a clementine? And, I see that several of you are using almond milk instead of regular milk. Can someone tell me if almond milk is better and why?
Back on plan phase 1.5 yesterday
B - 2 eggs w/lf cheese, 2 turkey bacon, ff milk, V-8
L - Apple and natural peanutbutter
D - White chicken chili w/slaw (cabbage plus 1 Tbls mayo and a little plain nf yogurt)
S - 1 cup Greek nf plain yogurt w/sf jam, splenda, walnuts
clementines are those little oranges that are in season around Christmas, if you get some be sure they are seedless. I use almond milk because it has less sugar and carbohydrates.
take care
Sophie
b - whole wheat bread with margarine (slice was too thick) coffee
l - lentil soup with lf cheese
s - yogurt
s - roasted pork loin with roasted cauliflower and salad
s - will see
it's kind of a lazy day around here. i'm fighting the urge to snack by chewing gum. ran for 30 minutes this morning and might go for a bike ride with the family this afternoon.
B - 2 scrambled eggs w/lf cheese, V-8
L - String cheese and apple
S - 1 cup Greek nf plain yogurt w/cinnamon, splenda, walnuts.
D - Hamburger patty, grn salad, aspargas w/lf cheese
S - 1 cup Greek nf plain yogurt w/cinnamon, splenda, walnuts.
Probably too many nuts and cheese. Have to remember what I've already had so far before eating.
