Ok, so the church dinner had no peppers and the jumbalaya was delish and they had wine which was lovely and it's Fat Tuesday anyway so I went off plan...

zeffryn 03-08-2011 09:21 PM

Plan for 3/9

wt: 158.8 :(
P1

1: 3 egg white puff, 1/2 cup plain, ff greek yogurt with cinnamon and stevia
2: lettuce wraps (roasted turkey, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, mustard); 10 almonds; 1 oz. cheese
3: big salad (spinach, assorted veggies, hummus instead of dressing, 1 T. sunflower seeds), 1/4 c. cottage cheese, 1 hard boiled egg

phase 1 is hard now that i am so used to phase 2!

exercise: 45 min. zumba, 45 min. kickboxing

Now that I look at my day, I see that it wasn't enough food....but I was satisfied throughout the day. Will remedy this tomorrow.

--
WT at the end of the day, directly after eating and drinking at dinner: 158.0 -- ahhhhh, it feels so good to get rid of this bloat.

This sounds amazing! Probably because it contains the words "peanut butter". Would you mind sharing the recipe?

EmmaD 03-08-2011 10:25 PM

Phase 1

B - coffee with soy milk. Omelet with sauteed veggies
L - very veggie white chili (sooo tired of eating this every day... my freezer is full unfortunately - with Phase 2 foods - so no room to freeze it). Salad, low sodium vegetable juice.
S - veggies with hummus
S2 - nuts & dried green beans
D - crabmeat-stuffed flounder. Sauteed spinach, cauliflower puree.
dessert - Greek yogurt

--- actually didn't end up eating a lot of this (WEIRD, usually I am clamoring for more food) ... maybe I'll be starving at midnight and end up eating the rest then, who knows

Plan for tomorrow since I just took stock of what needs to be eaten in the fridge:
B - coffee with soy milk. Omelet with sauteed veggies, low sodium vegetable juice.
L - very veggie white chili (ugh - see above). Tomato salad.
S - Romaine lettuce leaves with tuna or salmon salad
S2 - celery with Laughing Cow cheese
D - tofu with broccoli and pea pods (prob. not Phase 1 but oh well) in peanut sauce, over a bed of steamed spinach, MAYBE with shriataki noodles
dessert - chia pudding made with soy milk (I'm going to try adding protein powder, we'll see how that goes)

Porthardygurl 03-08-2011 11:49 PM

Phase 1

B: Sugar free flourless chocolate zucchinni muffins (2)

B - decaf coffee w/sf creamer
S - 2 tsp peanut butter

Even though I know I'm allowed 2 cups of dairy a day, I'm wondering if the 2 cups of yogurt at one time is too much, especially in the evening??

If anyone else was wondering, Holy Crap is a mix of chia seeds, hulled hemp hearts, buckwheat, cranberries, raisins, apples, and cinnamon! Here's the info sheet.


Btw, Cyndi, did you take the pic of the owl in your avatar? Is it a barred owl?

i picked up a bag yesterday and want to roast them, but I can wait until phase 2 next week.

In the South Beach Dining Out Guide, the recipe for poached salmon and sunchoke puree was deemed "all phases"! I don't think I've ever had those. Interesting.

Phase ONE. Supposedly. I haven't been so good about sticking to my plan. Maybe I should just plan to be out of Phase 1, because I've done OK sticking to Phase 2 foods. But then maybe that's defeating the point of breaking the cravings (for wheat primarily). I have not yet sorted out what is the right choice for me. My weight is fine but I need to dial it up a notch if I expect to ever lose any more and stop getting all bingey over the whole wheat tortillas :devil:

Um, pretty much the same as the plan for yesterday, since I have all the same stuff:

B - coffee with soy milk. Smoothie with cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, peanut flour, "green" powder
L - Lentil veggie soup. Tomato salad.
S - Romaine lettuce leaves with tuna or salmon salad
S2 - celery with Laughing Cow cheese
D - tofu with broccoli and pea pods (prob. not Phase 1 but oh well) in peanut sauce, over a bed of steamed spinach, MAYBE with shriataki noodles
dessert - chia pudding made with soy milk (I'm going to try adding protein powder, we'll see how that goes)

zeffryn 03-10-2011 01:24 PM

Emma, thanks for the info. You need to try them, they are slightly sweet and nutty, with an earthy flavor like all tubers have. Really excellent roasted with rosemary and garlic.

What about just cutting the wheat out of your diet and doing the rest phase 2? are you ok with other grains? I'm finding now that I'm doing Phase 1 that I'm having a hard time planning foods - what would be a quick orange or something as a snack is now an intense study of the fridge. I'm so used to phase 2! My black bean/pico/avocado lunch is pretty darn tasty, though :)

---

CRAVING something sweet. I guess this is when I should distract myself until the cravings pass. Eventually they stop coming around.
