On Plan Thread: August 13-19, 2012
 

Here's to another week on plan!

So I reread the book this weekend (atleast large chunks of it) and am going back to phase 1 for two weeks starting today! As much as I know the importance of a clean phase 1, I have one snafu coming up on Wednesday for dinner. I signed up for dinner about a month ago and it's got a set menu and it's all bad. I will stay on track the rest of the day and leave the worst of the worst on my plate. And not dwell on it too much and just move on.

Anyway, today:

P1D1
Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled with zucchini, spinach, turkey, and light cheddar
Sn: Babybel light and V8
L: Broccoli cheese soup and a pork pesto patty
Sn: Chicken with beans & salsa
S: Vegetarian white chili
Sn: SF chocolate popsicle, pistachios (30), small piece of LF cheese
Ex: 40 minute jog/walk --- so many mosquito bites to show for it too!

Howdy! Gonna start posting for some accountability/ideas.

Up at 2:30 a.m. (don't ask!) so lots of snacks/meals today.

1: low fat cheese sticks and low fat turkey pepperoni bites
2: egg frittata with zucchini, spinach, goat cheese and chicken
3. chopped salad with greens, pecorino romano cheese, chicken, red wine vinaigrette
4. roasted cauliflower
5. chocolate/pb smoothie
6. spaghetti squash deep dish pizza with sf bbq chicken, roasted red onions and yellow peppers, and low fat sharp cheddar

That's it!

Made it through day 1! Got a little snack happy in the evening, but it was on plan :)

P1D2

B: Leftover vegetarian chili
Sn: Babybel light and V8
L: MASSIVE salad topped with a turkey burger

S: Zucchini, spinach, and chicken casserole with some broccoli

Definitely battling the sugar cravings today!

Today's the day with the off-plan dinner. The key will be to not let it derail me, and stay on plan the rest of the day.

Thanks Zeffryn! The beer night was basically the exact opposite of everything SB stands for, but I was perfect the rest of the day, and I'm back on things today! Also managed to break the ice and got back to the gym (after months away) and did a step class.

Ate dinner a bit late so I hopefully won't need anything to get me through the night? Someone brought our ward one of those beautiful Edible Arrangements, though, and it's really tough to avoid all that beautiful fruit--especially the ones dipped in chocoalte!
Sn: One orange slice dipped in dark choco. Couldn't resist! I guess it would be OP in P2 and it's a lot better than the donut holes I've managed to avoid.
