My ticker is 0.2 lbs away from not lying
A couple of days back on a Phase 1.5/no grains stripped off some carb/water weight (?) That was 3+lbs in 2 days which is impossible for me in a "real" weight-loss sense. It would take a month or two or more for 3 lbs to come off me for real. So the good news is that weight packed on quickly from massive overeating comes off quickly if dealt with seriously.

Phase 1.5?
B - water with lime juice/cayenne/cinnamon. Coffee with us almond milk. 1.5 servings us plain soy yogurt [aaaaaargh, it has corn starch in it - not sure how much but it's the second ingredient after soy milk/soybeans. WHY don't I learn to check these things?] with stevia, cinnamon, vanilla extract and a spoon of nat pb.
L - Huge green salad with water packed tuna, dressed with flax seed oil and fresh lemon or lime juice. Iced white chai-spiced tea.
Ss - hummus with raw broccoli, cauliflower and pepper; celery with laughing cow light, pear with 1 spoon nat pb
D - maybe a crookneck squash/zucchini frittata, spinach salad on the side
dessert - *small* glass of red wine with a serving sharp cheddar cheese.

Phase II - and ticker is now telling the truth!

B. peach, thin bagel with laughing cow
L. clam chowder made with a 4 oz. new potato, turkey bacon, yogurt
D. Chicken breast, roasted cauliflower, tomato cucumber salad, wine
(Did not do the balsamic chicken as planned last night - felt "meh" about it so had chili from the stash plus raw veggies.)

Green monster is basically a smoothie with greens (spinach, kale, chard) thrown in. If you try one, go for adding spinach first, it's the gateway green You can't taste the spinach at all. You can make them P1 friendly if you leave out the fruit and sweeten it with stevia or something. Once you get to P2 half a frozen banana makes it magical.

Phase 2ish
b-almond butter and banana on ww toast
l-out with the family to discuss some drama, but mom and dad are on sb now so it will be something safe
d-thai coconut soup with tofu and veg (good soup, but I made WAY to much and I'm getting sick of it!)

No breakfast (I know)
L: Chocolate protein shake with raw veggies
S: 15 raw Almonds
D: we're going to a bbq & I'm bringing my own buns & sides that I can eat plus to share. Hamburger on ww bun, big salad, buffalo chicken dip with mulitgrain "tortillas" (no corn), mixed fruit.

although I logged ALL my food til yesterday, I am back on track for today Ph2 wise. Will do Ph1 for a few days starting Tuesday.

B: 2 poached eggs on WW toast (1 slice), melon, coffee
L: veggie burger, no bun, spinach and fruit salad
D: Chinese - wrong choice but it was either that or suffer through DW's whining...
S: 3 prunes (NSA)

Decided to start posting on this thread starting today.
