B - cheese & nuts (I've realized it doesn't work for either one of us to have a big ole breakfast no matter how much good the experts say it will do for us)
L - Shrimp & Celery salad (we are absolutely loving this recipe and it's mega-quick to put together - SBD Quick & Easy Cookbook)
D - Basil Chicken & Indian Lentils - SBD Quick & Easy Cookbook
S - jicama & salsa/hummus
DH is contemplating whether he's going to have an apple today or a WW bagel - I'm just contemplating why the scale isn't moving even though I'm doing everything right. I guess more water is the piece I'll work on today.
Wednesday Plan:
B: cucumber and carrots/horseradish hummos/cheese stick/almonds/orange slices
L: salad with grilled chicken
S: sunflower seeds
D: wine, almonds, and off plan other low carb snacks but not too much
I am a little frustrated...got a new scale and the last time I weighed was at the doctor's office. However, new scale says I ONLY lost 3 pounds with 12 days on Ph1. I usually drop 7-11 pounds. I've got my period so maybe 5 pounds? But this is the heaviest I've ever been and I know the meds delay it but still. I haven't done a perfect Ph1 in so long. Meh.
Onward and upward. I won't get back to the Dr for another month or so...so I won't be able to compare scales.
B: cheese, nuts, turkey pepperoni and a coffee
L: Salad with tuna
S: Veggies and hummus
D: leftover meatloaf and mashed cauliflower
B- coffee and 2 mini spinach quiche
S- protein cheesecake (Yum! I swirled in a bit of SF strawberry jam and it was great!!)
L- salad, grilled pork loin, handful of nuts
S- smoothie, handful of peanuts (probably over my nut quota for the day but I was hungry and it is better than some other things I could eat)
D- leftovers: probably crack slaw
S- decaf coffee w/ a shot of SF syrup
B - cheese & nuts
L - not sure yet - DH will be out with his buddies and I'm having coffee with a friend so I need to figure something out
D - Leftover Taco Bake & Kalyn's peanut butter pie dessert
S - celery and laughing cow
I have not had the losses I expected with phase 1 so I'm not sure if I should stay on phase 1 or move to 1.5 or 2. How long have others spent on phase 1 and did you see a move in your loss when you moved to 1.5 or 2? I really want to lose 10# by the time I leave on my cruise so I need to lose 3# this week and next to get there. DH has lost 12.5 - he's a rockstar!!
Thursday 1.5
B: cheese stick/almonds/cucumber slices with hummos, maybe an orange
L: tomato/mozz/pesto salad
S: not so bad at the party - just a couple of cheats. Had wine.
D: spinach fillo pies
Friday plan:
Today is tricky - we're on the road all day, eating out.
B: hb egg/orange/almonds
L: we are probably eating at taco bell. Do they have taco salads these days? If not, I'll get pintos and cheese and eat the insides only of 1 or 2 tacos.
S: popcorn at the movies (I know).
D: hamburger patty and salad (going to a steakhouse with an unlimited salad bar, so I'll eat a lot of veggies.
B - Cheese & nuts (I sound like a broken record but it works!)
L - Frittata
D - Experimental pizza (I am going to take the basic premise of the deep dish italian bake from the boards here and flatten the squash "crust" out on a pizza stone and then top it with normal pizza fare)
S - jicama & salsa/hummus
Good luck today Matilda! I haven't eaten out one time since NYE. I'm a little afraid to even try it. I get a menu in my hands and all sense leaves my head!!
Gabby - let's talk cruises!!! where are you going??? we go on 2-3 a year We leave on Feb 26 and I wanted to jumpstart my weight loss for then too
Today is the last day on Ph1. While I will throw some ph1 days in there moving forward, I am heading onto ph 1.5. While my expectation is to lose 100 pounds in 2 weeks, it's not going to happen. To keep me on SBD, I need to move it along
But that is just me.
I am sick so anything I eat is not sticking in me. LOL
B: yogurt, doffee
L: taco salad with veggies and guac
S: cheese stick
D: chicken bake
D: sf jello
