Today I officially called the WW experiment a fail for me. It's just not good with my particular food issues though I know it's worked really well for some people (a friend just hit 41 lbs lost with WW and is doing great). I reopened my handy dandy desktop FitDay app today and I'm back to portion control via calorie counting. This maintenance stuff is more work than I ever imagined. I always regained in the past because I just didn't realize how big a commitment this would be. I'm glad every day that I am sticking with this though. I am so worth it :)

Phase 2:
S: (slow start this morning) - small banana & lots of coffee
B: egg, refried beans, spinach or broccoli & salsa
L: giant salad with hummus
S: kefir, cantaloupe
D: cabbage and white beans, veggie burgers
wine if I'm within my calories and exercise

exercise: walk in the sun!, hip exercises

Good for for sticking with it Cyndi! Enjoy your walk in the sun!

Phase 2
B: Omelette with chives (fresh from my new plant!) and dollop of homemade pesto + Chai latte
S: Lemon and poppyseed muffin with peanut butter
S: Yoghurt with apple and orange + protein shake with milk
D: Cod, roasted vegetables and avocado salad

Exercise: got a long 18km run on the cards, hey least it's sunny!
Vitamins : yep!

I am still tracking on WW. Partly old habits die hard, I guess. Its also a safety net in case I stray or slip, because this time, my goal is losing weight, not doing ANYTHING perfectly. I know to be "perfect"
on SB, I need to eat more vegetables, and I will work on that :)
