Thoughts: I'd feel worse about my out of control afternoon snack, but today was filled with temptations, and I think I did rather well. To start off with, during morning rounds, there were homemade date squares that everyone was raving about. I just kept saying to myself that it's easier to just stay on plan than to try and get back on it after cheating. Then, when I went back to the Health Sciences Centre I ran into my bf, who needed to get lunch. I'd already eaten mine. I accompanied him to the caf and just sat and chatted while he ate. Old me would have just eaten a second lunch!

Thoughts: Woke up with a sore throat this morning, and I'm getting more and more stuffed up as the day drags on. I'm really hoping to get to the gym after work, with the thought that I'll probably feel even worse in the coming days. If I'm feeling pretty bulldozed by the time I get home, though, I'll just take it easy.
Added.. made it home. Sick. Taking it easy.
I brought my lunch today, but bought veggies and dip from the cafeteria to supplement it. I think I might have inadvertently eaten a carrot stick, and the dip might not have been entirely OP, but I'm not worrying about it. I think I'm starting the mental transition to phase two. Going to reread the phase 2 part of the book over the next week so I'm totally ready for it!

All Day: LOTS of water...but I didn't want my 2nd cup of coffee this morning. In fact I didn't even finish my first!
Amy, yes, what I referred to as cabbage beef is actually listed under Soups and Stews - phase one as cabbage beef soup. I thought it was very good but be aware that it makes quite a bit, in fact barely fit into my large crockpot.
Also, thanks for all the feedback on plain yogurt. It sounds like I've found the best of the best.
