Elise - I cut up an apple, mix in cinnamon, splenda and some clove, spray a baking dish with PAM and add the apple. In that same (now empty) bowl, I melt a tablespoon of margarine and mix it with a cup of oatmeal, more cinnamon, vanilla, clove and nutmeg. I also add a tablespoon or two of agave. I add that to the top and put it in the over on 350 for 20-30 minutes. It's yummy. Sometimes I eat it as dessert with a dollop of Cool Whip. Makes 2 servings.

Ph 2
B: baked oatmeal, coffee
L: "fried" tofu with curry sauce over 1/2 c. brown rice
S: veggies, horseradish cheddar and turkey roll up, cottage cheese
D: Salad of some sort

Snacks TBD

Jenne1017, YUM!!! That sounds delicious, but I'll have to wait a while before I try it. Something sweet AND crunchy would be a total trigger food for me and there's no way I'd be able to keep within a reasonable portion.

OK. Week three of Phase 1.5. (Oatmeal for bkfst or blueberries during day.)
B: egg whites, LC, tumeric, tea+skim milk x2
S: 7 walnut halves and 1/2 cup yogurt
L: lentil salad and greens
S: 7 walnut halves and 1/2 cup yogurt
D: Not sure, but I must finish it before 9pm. I think eating late (and stress) might have something to do with my weight stagnation.

B: egg whites, LC, tumeric, coffee w/ LOTS of skim, green tea
L: cup of yogurt, 14 walnut halves and....1/4 cup of blueberries (first fruit on P1.5!)
S: LC x 2
D: chicken, broccoli, string bean stir-fry, salad and ... not sure, feel like I'm not eating enough.

But, I MUST stop eating after 9pm. Last night I was craving a hamburger (what?) so I made mustard green crisps. I wound up having 2 cups of salty crunchy goodness at 11pm (oh, the shame) and this morning I was up 1.6 pounds. What did I expect? There has to be a limit to how many times I can justify eating something "healthy" late at night by telling myself it's better than ordering in. (This city that never sleeps is not good for my waistline.)

Elise - sometimes we want what the body wants. I would drink a LOT of water and you will be ok :)

I ate off plan yesterday VERY badly but was back on today, though not too hungry and not too many veggies.

Ph 2
B: WW bagel, cream cheese, lox, capers and coffee
L: 1/2 cup chili on top of brown rice chips with RF cheese (nachos)
D: grilled cotija cheese, slice of smoked mozzarella, turkey pepperoni slices, raspberries and olives with a salad
