Another week of eating on plan! Good luck, ladies!

P2

1: peachy almond smoothie (yum, asphyxia!)
2: tossed salad with some leftover baked chicken

5: light beer

exercise: 45 min. treadmill, dancing the night away at a concert

Wt: 161.0 -- just back from a gluttonous week in jamaica :devil:

phs 2

b - oatmeal with almond milk

s - leftover salad
s - calamari in tomato sauce with tofu noodles.
s - lf cheese

L: Chicken breast, Cottage cheese salad (I used broccoli, cucumber, orange bell pepper, black olives)
D: Blackened tilapia with baked sweet potato fries and the rest of the cottage cheese salad, I threw in some raw sunflower seeds, yum!
S: Almond milk, handful of raspberries

The cottage cheese salad was good! I didn't have za'atar so I subbed oregano, thyme and sumac. If you don't have sumac I bet a little lemon juice or zest would work too.

Phase 2
been trying to increase my protein and calories because of the weightlifting program I have begun. we'll see... I still haven't managed to get up to the "recommended" amount of calories yet; it requires a completely different mindset.

B - steel-cut oats with protein powder/blueberries/almonds. Veggie sausage. low-sodium V8.
L - (veggie)pumpkin white bean chili. Roasted beet salad with goat cheese.
Ss - broccoli with hummus. Lettuce leaves wrapped around sesame-peanut baked tofu. <<<<DIDN'T EAT
D - no idea yet, have to go to store <<<<DIDN'T EAT
dessert - (post workout) - Greek yogurt mixed with dark chocolate tofu pudding

Exercise: New Rules of Lifting for Women Stage 1, workout B.

P2

B: Eggs with sauteed mushrooms and asparagus
L: Sausage and chicken gumbo
D: Still trying to make this spaghetti, whole wheat egg noodles; lately it seems like none of my family is home at the same time!
S: Censored. :( At least they won't be sitting there taunting me any more.

The gumbo is from Cooking Light. I made these changes--I used whole wheat kamut flour in the roux and toasted it until it was well browned, added some smoked paprika and a lot of extra garlic with the vegetables, then instead of pouring it over rice I just threw in a handful of brown rice and some extra chicken broth to make it soupier, then simmered it close to an hour, until the rice was tender. I added the chicken (i just used poached chicken) after a half hour or so, so it wouldn't fall apart. It turned out great so I thought I'd include the recipe. I love having soup to heat up for lunch and I will be eating this for days. lol

Phase II

B. skinny bagel, lf cream cheese, 2 slices smoked salmon, capers and onion
L. Asparagus soup with assorted raw veggies, an orange

WELL - my plan to eat more calories is backfiring. I didn't eat any of my snacks or even dinner last night, due to how my other food was spaced out and not being able to eat before a workout. I'm still very much a work in progress :p
