D. chicken breast in stir-fry over ww couscous or wild & brown rice

I think I am back on track after a crescendo of bad eating! 7 [ETA: 9!!!] lbs over where I was when I started getting lazy.

I have decided that I should be posting every day, even (especially?) if I am veering off plan... I will censor out the details to protect the innocent.

Phase 2, supposedly

MONDAY, forgot to post
B – Vanilla/cinnamon black tea with milk. Whipped banana oatmeal with cottage cheese (from Kath Eats Real Food - but I forgot the chia seeds) w/ 1 t cinnamon... omg - sooo delicious!
walking/yoga
L – ww tortilla with leftover grilled tuna and broccoli slaw with Annie's Goddess dressing, Golden Warming Autumn Stew (a variation of the very veggie white chili - with acorn squash, cauliflower, pumpkin puree, white beans, tofu...), more tea with us almond milk
S - hummus with broccoli/carrots/bell pepper.
S2 - some crap that remained from the weekend. So much for willpower: "I better finish this off so I don't have to think about it"
D- miso soup with cabbage and broccoli and tofu
dessert – glass of red wine, off plan chocolate <sigh>

YESTERDAY, also never posted
B - vanilla/cinnamon black tea with us almond milk. 1/2 banana with natural pb in a ww tortilla (I heated it a little - yum - flavor like a banana nut muffin)
L - leftover miso soup
S - hummus with pepper/carrots/broccoli
Then...
[Sick with a cold and annoyed.... skipped yoga class ... ate 2 whole wheat pitas; one with tomato paste and parmesan cheese, the other with almond butter and a drizzle of honey, also a clementine and a small square of dark chocolate - UGH I HATE BEING SICK]
D - was supposed to be: Turkish cilbir - w/ roasted peppers and a buckwheat groat spinach pilaf (based on this recipe, but using buckwheat groats). Instead - I had a veggie burger patty and for some reason later, 3 thin slices of ciabbata bread toast.

TODAY (my skin may turn orange today from all the acorn squash/turmeric/pumpkin/carrots/orange!!)
B - vanilla/cinnamon tea with us almond milk. Smoothie with Greek yogurt, spinach, blueberries.
Walking/yoga class
L - Golden Warming Autumn Stew with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds, more tea

D - Hearty homemade bean soup w/carrots. Green salad with hard-boiled egg.
dessert - apple with natural pb.

Today
B: 1 egg, 1 piece Canadian bacon, 2 slices honeydew melon
L: cold cuts (turkey, cheddar slice), salad
S: apple, cashews
D: WW bagel, light cream cheese

shelflife - thanks for the welcome back! I need to be back. Good luck with lunch. I looked at that menu and that's a tough one.

I didn't eat a lot of the stuff I had planned yesterday but only substituted one thing - cashews (but way too many) - while I was out. Otherwise an on-play day. WOO HOO.

Ya know what, I decided I am going to start calorie-counting again. P-I-T-A, but apparently I need it!!

Phase 1.5? No grains
B - black tea with us almond milk. Cranberry/spinach smoothie with Greek yogurt, protein powder and flax meal
L - Weekend glow kale salad (I might be missing some ingredients - like I know I don't have cucumber or hemp seeds ...)
S - hummus with broccoli
S - cottage cheese with a clementine and lots of cinnamon
D - the bean soup I didn't eat yesterday. Green salad with 1 t flaxseed oil and lemon juice and 1 hardboiled egg.
dessert - the remainder of my morning smoothie. 1 small square chocolate.

UGH - I had to tweak this, as it was reaaaally high in carbs AND calories when I plugged in what I originally planned. I left out the raisins in the salad and adjusted some serving sizes.

ETA: what I really ate. I nixed the apple/pb at the end of the day... tooo full. I added an egg to my salad and had one small square of dark chocolate as a treat.
