Hi everyone.
I had a good day.
B late - cottage cheese, asparagus
S couple T dal (lentils)
D early - curry chicken w/sauce, broc, couple mini carrots (I know, not on P1, I still include a little)
S nuts, cheese (I indulged - don't like the combo, and had a tad too much cheese)
Friday (yesterday was a total wash!)
am-glass of plain kefir
glass of green magma mixed with some tumeric concoction from the hfs plus chia seeds
Lunch- will be middle eastern style food, we are having a baby shower for someone
Dinner - not sure yet, it will be eaten out
Happy Friday Everyone! I just noticed this thread. I LOVE talking about what I eat lol So I will try to make a habit out of this.
Breakfast - Atkins Caramel Nut Chew Bar, String Cheese
Snack - Almonds
Lunch - Chicken breast leftover from dinner, celery, low fat cream cheese
Dinner - Grilled venison tenderloin, Green Beans and grilled zucchini
Love having my foods mapped out ahead of time. I feel so prepared and ready for the day. My biggest concerns have been getting through the weekends and for me its all about keeping busy!
Phase 1.5 is a name given by some of us here on the board, sort of a made up phase between phase 1 & 2, where you can eat somethings from the phase 2 menu but not all (for example, I can eat carrots & fruit... but still wont eat any grains)
Its not any part of the official South Beach lifestyle.... Alot of the people on the board like to use it as a transition between phases, but for someone like me who has a very hard time with breads, rice, pasta (even the whole grain stuff) it is easier to just avoid it (when possible) and stay on the so named "phase 1.5"
(I hope that explanation makes sense)
Lindsay, making lots of sense. I googled 1.5 and found it! That is probably me.
Still having some trouble staying on the wagon. Friday not so good. I am up til wierd hours, and night eating is the worst. That's why I list a 12:30 bedtime, which I have to get going.
Spontaneous b'day for my stepdaughter, and I didn't want to be wierd, so I had a small portion of low-fat, spin, lasagne, trying not to eat the pasta. Chips&salsa, salad 2 dots of dressing. Sliver of bread. 2 bites fruit. A few nuts when I got home. I'm not unhappy with it.
Good idea to write an am program - I had been doing that w/a couple of friends.
Someone please tell me how to find next week's thread when it starts. Thanks.
B: 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup almond milk, 10 raisins
L: can of tuna, 1T lf mayo, 1 tomato, slice cheese
S: string cheese
D: roasted chicken breast; spinach salad: 2 cups spinach, 4 baby carrots, 5 greek olives, 1 tomato, slice red pepper, 2T bleu cheese crumbles, 1T lite bleu cheese dressing mixed with 2T Greek yogurt
S: (visited friends) 4 baby carrots with white bean hummus, strawberries with dip (1/4 cream cheese, 1/4 Greek yogurt, 1/2 sf cool whip) stayed on plan while socializing!!!
And while I was really nervous about adding grains (1/2 to 1 serving per day), I've actually lost more wt this week than I did last week without grains.
