Getting back to it:

1: steel cut oats, cinnamon, dark cherries, coffee with cream

3: salad greens, goat cheese, beets(i know) grilled chicken, sunflower seeds so, so yummy
4: 2 ak moks with goat cheese, sugar snap peas
5: Turkey, cannalini, spinach cassolet, roasted green beans

Not enough water or exercise. Feeling under the weather and starving at the same time. Weird.

I think I first read about cold oatmeal here. And then recently I read this on Budget Bytes (just leave out the brown sugar, which she says is optional anyway). It is going to be a summer go-to breakfast. So glad I know about this now!

SGeranium - I :love: beets. So good for you. Personally I don't worry about the sugar in them at all.

Phase 2.
I've been fairly loose with my "plan" recently (NOT saying that is a good thing) but now it is time to kick it up a notch and go for that last 5+ lbs. It has taken more than a year to lose 18, so at this rate it will take the rest of this year to lose 5 more :p

L - Shirataki noodles with peanut sauce and a lot of broccoli. Green tea.

S2 - smoothie with Greek yogurt, mixed berries and cocoa powder.

P2

1: oats and chia seeds soaked in almond milk, topped with 1/2 banana, few blackberries, 1 tsp. almond butter; hot lemon water
2: "spa plate" - 2 T. hummus, carrot sticks, 4 small spelt crackers, small bunch grapes
3: greek yogurt w/ cinnamon, stevia, a few chopped almonds and some blackberries
4: salad w/ grilled chicken, tomatoes, red onion, black beans, salsa for dressing

exercise: 20 min. strength training, 40 min. treadmill, maybe 45 min. pilates in the evening

Z-that "spa plate" sounds tiny. Does it hold you for long?

it is actually very satisfying. it doesn't look like a lot of food, but seems to hold me ok until my afternoon snack, which I have around 3. I don't like having that "full" feeling (it makes me want to nap) during the day, so I don't eat a lot at one sitting. I have a feeling that I'm in the minority around here, and I don't need a lot of food at one time to tide me over. For dinner, I'm good with 3-4 oz. of meat, where it seems that most people around here need 6-8. I also have a 16 oz. bottle of kombucha with lunch, so that holds me too.

It is the lunch that we had the last time I went on a spa day. It was tasty and satisfying, so I recreated it at home.

1: south beach bar, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with cinnamon and stevia, coffee cream
2: cheese stick, sugar snap peas, baby carrots
3: leftover spinach , bean, turkey cassolet
4: a couple off plan evil, evil wasabi chips
5: black bean soup topped with yogurt, a cheese quesadilla wedge, more sugar snap peas
6: dark chocolate

Still feeling under the weather, but I'm done babying it.
