Am I eating too much? I know yesterday I was hungry a lot of the time. I'm trying to fill in with more veggies.

Hope everyone has a great day!

OK - so last night ended with a Chinese buffet. Positives: no rice, no noodles, nothing fried, many peel and eat shrimp, many crab legs, many delicious veggies (onions, broccoli, green peppers). Negatives: WAY too liberal use of the word MANY to describe the QUANTITY of what I ate . . .
BUT - scale still at 166. So - hopefully - no lasting harm done.

TODAY:
B: nf greek yogurt, sf jam, 1 slice turkey bacon
S: almonds
L: chicken/veggie fajitas (brought my own ww tortilla)
S: cottage cheese, sf jam, carrots
D: cauliflower shepherd's pie, salad
S: sf pudding

Be well!

Mika, it doesn't look like you're eating too much at all. Eat when you're hungry and eat until you're satisfied.

Just a reminder that pudding is not ok on phase 1. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I've been having trouble getting to the gym this week because of my study schedule. Honestly, studying is my priority right now, but I wish I could figure out how to achieve a better balance.

Wt: 162 :broc:

B: Leftover chicken & spinach casserole
L: Oy....the free lunch was pastitsio. It was delicious. But way off plan ....So was the Haagen-Dazs treat I followed it up with :o
S: Errrrm... also off plan.

usernametaken: The breakfast cookie recipe is from the fitnessista, here.

Kathy, it doesn't look like you are eating too much. You don't want to be hungry so definitely add in more veggies. Beans also help with hunger and cravings.

Phase 2
B: ww waffle, 1/2 banana, 1 T peanut butter, nf milk

shelf, you're a fitnessista reader too? my husband has a b-fast cookie almost every morning.

Sharonej; Thank you for the input.

Zeffryn; I forgot about the pudding not being Phase 1. Thanks. Also, what are Chia seeds?

Shelflife; Can you tell me about your chicken and spinach casserole?
