On Plan Thread 10/21 - 10/27
 

It's time for a new week of talking On-Plan! This is the place for South Beach meal plan and food support, encouragement and questions.

Anyone, from any phase (1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc.) can post, and those who are new to 3FC are especially encouraged to do so!

This thread is for questions, sharing advice and strategies, and encouraging each other to stay on plan. It is not for chatting about daily life unrelated to this topic. Members have indicated that they would like to have chatting remain in the Daily Thread, so any posts that are off topic or chatty will be moved by the mods to the Daily.

People in different phases of South Beach post here so it will help everyone if you indicate what phase you're in when you post. Thanks!

While you may certainly find, from time to time, the need to ask for help after going off plan, remember that this thread is about staying on plan. When you share details of off plan foods you've eaten, it can upset, tempt, and otherwise frustrate other members, so please keep these details to a minimum.

So, share with us: How are you staying on plan this week?

How's it going for you?

Of course feel free to share your daily on plan menu

Okay, getting myself up at 6 am was great. I felt so motivated - got my study done, did some core exercises, kids meals made, and out the door on time. It put me in such a great frame of mind, that I only had an apple with PB for lunch (it was supposed to be ham and bean soup - too heavy), and waited 15 min then went on a run...I hadn't ran in a month or two. And then I felt like absolute cr@p! I'm not sure if it was because I just ate, because I hadn't gone in a while (I've walked a lot though), or if it's my GI issues. *sigh* It was a good day anyway!

Phase 1.5 trying to do low/no grains

B: cream cheese, mushroom and thyme omelette (brilliant idea if I do say so myself :D)
S: hummus and veggies
L: apple and PB (see above!)
S: yogurt with craisins
D: deep dish spaghetti squash pie.
S: few nuts. I didnt overdo it this time!

Tammy, thats too bad that the run made you feel so awful... glad you had a good day inspite of it though.
