On Plan Thread for 4/17-4/24
 

OR, try this variant of the Wendie Plan that we call the Maggie Plan:

Use all 49 WPA's in the first 3-4 days of your week, then stick to target for the last 3-4. It seems to work for many of the women on this board who try it. There are a few rules with it, though--you MUST follow the Good Health Guidelines, eat good healthy food. and have a glass of milk late afternoon/early evening.

I think this will be easier for me to do than the Wendie plan. So the first days of my week are Friday/Saturday/Sunday and Mon-Thurs. are the lighter eating days.

Sunday Phase 1.5
B: quinoa pancake, avocado, kefir
S: peanuts
L: turkey mb with sauce and parm cheese
S: had off plan snacks whilst walking around Costco
D: roasted chick peas, spanakopita

Ah, the 17th on the old thread confused me. I'll close that one now that this one has started.

Today's plan:

Matilda, I have a question for you. I notice that you drink a kefir most mornings. At first I didn't even know what it was but later found it in the grocery store. In reading the ingredients, I noticed that there was a log of sugar included. What do I not understand? How does that affect your cravings and isn't that much sugar not a good thing? Hope you don't mind my asking. I'm just trying to learn.

Z - A question for you too. What kind of oats and how much and is it as simple as just soaking them overnight in (how much) almond milk?

Today my plan for phase 1.5

B - mock pancakes w/sf jam or syrup, v-8, decaf coffee w/sf creamer.
S - 1 hb egg and 1/2 apple
L - leftover spaghetti squash deep dish pie
S - 1 tsp almond butter
D - leftover spaghetti squash deep dish pie and grn salad
S - ?

Now that I've made a plan, just need to stick to it!
