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:

L: Chicken Breast and Salad w/ lf ranch D: Taco Bake Snacks through out the day: cheese stick, sf werthers, NSA fudgicle (2), and 5 swedish fish at the movies with my best girlfriend. I keep having these little slip ups...1st with the couple bites of cake and the the swedish fish, but each morning I hop on the scale to a loss...Day six and I've lost 10.5 lbs....must be all the exercise I've been getting :ebike: |

I weigh exactly what I did last week, but I snuck in a mid-week, non-official weigh in on Wednesday and I was down 1.5 pounds at that point... next week the scale will be friendlier, I'm sure. |

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! |
Phase 2
B: ww toast topped with a hb egg mixed with 1T rf mayo, nf milk L: protein smoothie (unsweetened choc almond milk,spinach,1/2 banana,protein powder,choc Supergreenfood) S: veggies and hummus D: veggie pattie, roasted broccoli, zucchini and tomato bake S: nf greek yogurt, blueberries |
T&T - yes, it is just as simple as soaking them overnight. I usually use 1/3 c. of regular rolled oats, 1 T. chia seeds and 1 C. almond milk, stir and refrigerate overnight. Sometimes I add some frozen fruit as well so it defrosts by morning.
|
TandT, the kefir I drink is plain kefir with no added sugars and it doesn't have fruit or anything like that so it is essentially like plain yogurt - there are dairy sugars, but they are naturally occurring. I love kefir! You should try it.
|
Hello! First Day on SB... I only work half days on Mondays and I don't get up until the very last minute, so I usually skip breakfast... not good I know, but by the time I get a second to eat its 11-11:30. So, onward!
Phase One- 264lbs Lunch: Mixed Greens salad with cheese, turkey and egg and balsamic vinegar and garlic infused olive oil Snack- Edamame, this is my first time and I only like the seeds not the whole bean... prob not going to be a regular on my menu. Dinner- Roasted Veggie Antipasto with Parmesan, Garlic and Soy Grilled Pork Chops Snack- soy nuts |
Well, I'm doing that whole calorie cycling thing and today is my super low calorie day, so today's food consisted of
1 egg+ 1 extra white: 100 calories 5 cashews: 50 cals Milk in coffee: 50 cals Can of tuna: 120 cals TBSP mayo: 30 cals Spinach for salad: 50 cals And for my snack later 1 cup milk with splenda and vanilla: 100 cals Total for the day: 500 calories, and back to normal SB tomorrow |
Happy Monday - DD!'s birthday, so not totally OP . . .
B: cottage cheese, sf jam, V8 S: peanuts L: tuna salad, romaine S: ff greek yogurt, sf jam D: chinese (avoiding rice, breading, etc.) S: SF fudgesicle, with a few bites of real cake Be well! |
so snacky today! I'm exhausted from the weekend and I think my body was trying to use bad stuff to keep me awake. I ended up eating two mini muffins that were leftover from a kids easter picnic yesterday and a banana w/ almond butter. i think i'm sufficiently full, but makes me feel sort of bad :(
|
Thanks Zef, I'll be trying that soon as the second grain since working toward a phase two program.
Thanks too Matilda for explaining. I might try one just to see what it does to my blood sugar count. Being diabetic, I normally try to stay away from anything with more than 4g of sugar but since this isn't "added" sugar, it just might be alright. Will see. |
Phase II
B: V8, scrambled eggs, salsa, veggie sausage S: RF cheese stick L: Salad, guacamole, grilled chicken, chickpeas S: Skinny latte D: Balsamic chicken, veggies S: Almond butter |
B: PB & banana on a WW tortilla
L: Chicken breast in a curry sauce on broccoli Sn: OneBun crisps with hummus, strawberries. S: Greek salad with chicken Sn: Dark chocolate Ex: Couch to 5K week 8 day 1 -- had to do some major self-talk to make it, but i did! 15 minutes Arc trainer. |
Tuesday Phase 1.5 - eating light but added a grain
B: quinoa pancake, avocado, kefir L: salad with chicken breast, TJ's Goddess dressing (OMG- it's unreal) S: carrots and sugar snaps D: black bean salad |
T&T - DW is also diabetic and has a serving of plain yogurt or kefir everyday. Everyone is different but there is some research out there that cultured dairy may have a positive effect on blood glucose. If nothing else it has really helped some of the stomach issues she has because of the meds.
Today: B: flax muffin with spinach, rf cheese & salsa L: leftover bean concoction S: kefir, apple D: loaded veggie sauce with gimme lean, might use veggie boodles or just east it like soup :) exercise: treadmill, hoop |
Tuesday-Thursday
I spent a lot of time cooking yesterday so that I have food for the week, sooooo... Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be the same:
Phase 1: B: Spinach Quiche to go, 6oz V-8 S: Bell Pepper and 1 oz of mozzarella L: Eggplant Pizzette with canadian bacon, 2 cups of salad (romain heart, bell pepper, cucumber) S: 1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas D: Taco Bake (w/ ground chicken) |
Phase 2
B: oatmeal, apple, walnuts, nf milk L: protein smoothie (unsweetened choc almond milk,spinach,1/2 banana,protein powder) S: peppers and hummus D: leftover split pea soup, salad, rf blue cheese dressing S: nf greek yogurt, bluberries |
Z -- snacking is a definite problem for me when I'm tired as well. When I was doing a lot of 27 hour call shifts last year, the day after the shift was often an eating disaster. There's an interesting physiologic reason for this involving neurotransmitter production and blood glucose that I won't bore you with the details of. Good for you for acknowledging your physical hunger cues, though.
Wt: 164.4 B: PB & 1/2 banana on Ezekiel bread with skim milk Sn: String cheese L: Black forest ham & swiss on a pumpernickel roll (214 calorie thingy), baby carrots, ~1.5T tzatziki. Diet Pepsi. Sn: Strawberries S: Chickpea & veggie stew on quinoa Ex: Didn't get up early to go to the gym, and I need to study late tonight, so I doubt it will happen. After abstaining from diet sodas last week, I'm going to work on reintroducing it and consuming it in moderation now. I'm not going to buy it for home, and what I drink while I'm out I'll log so it doesn't become a free-for-all like it was. |
Monday, April 18, 2011 Phase 2

Shelf - whatever kind I can get. Usually just the curly kind, but once in awhile, I can find dinosaur kale. I usually make a huge bowl of massaged kale at one time, and then eat on it for a few days. I <3 it!
|
OK, can someone please tell me what 'massaged kale' is and can I also have the recipe for the Thai peanut sauce? Do you just take all three veggies and toss them with the sauce like a salad?
