Michele...this is not a diet..think of it as redistribution...diet makes people think differently.
Also, write down what you are eating and when. lets see if there might be some changed one could make so that the food you are eating is more filling as well.

Thanks for the daily breakdown!

Right now my eating feels all over the place, but for the most part my days have been:

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs (1 Pro)

Snack - carrots (1 veg)

Lunch - sometimes leftovers, sometimes a sandwich. Usually 1 starch, 1 pro, 2 veg, 1 fruit, 1 fat

Snack - fruit

Supper - Usually meat and potatoes with a veg... although I have been trying to switch to sweet potatoes so that I don't have starch too late.
(1 pro, 1 veg, 1 starch, 1 fat)

Snack - smoothie (1 dairy, 1 fruit), Free Exchange


I'll try switching a few things around based on what you said earlier and see how that works!

Quick question: I have looked high and low for the salad spritzers... all of the grocery stores I have been to insist that they carry them but no one (including the workers) can find them. Are they in less-than-obvious spots in your grocery stores?

Hey Michele, I buy my salad spritzers from Safeway. I have always found them in the salad dressing aisle.

How many of you are egg white fanatics? I totally am! I am the omelette queen now!

Hmmm... that was my last stop yesterday and they didn't have them with their salad dressings or in the coolers with the salad greens... hopefully next week I suppose! Thanks for letting me know though!

Shoppers drug mart have them as well *spritzers*

Hmm... maybe too many Manitobans in my area are watching what they eat!!

I have checked Sobey's, Safeway, Shopper's Drug Mart and CO-OP and have turned up nothing!!

I really enjoy my FE (salad dressing isn't near as satisfying as my 100 cal packs or jello ) so I guess I'll just wait it out for spritzers before I start into the salads!

You could always make your own with some balsamic vinegar and your fat portion.
I will keep my eye open for spritzers because I too am from Manitoba

ok so..this thread will have to close soon...once it hits 500 posts they shut it down. So I am going to start a new one with the challenge on it..
