Wednesday Phase 2 Check In!
| Wed, 07-13-2005 - 11:47am |
Happy Wednesday! This week is going by slooowly here. The kids are getting bored with summer and driving me nuts! Today I think we'll go to the pool after lunch - but it will be HOT (112 probably - uggh!)
today:
breakfast - Kashi cereal w/soy milk and sliced banana, 2 slices turkey bacon
snack - sunflower seeds at swimming lessons
lunch - tuna on ww pita, roasted veggies
snack - apple w/ peanut butter
dinner - ?? not sure - was supposed to be leftover enchiladas from last night, but they were WAY too spicy for me. So I will have to come up with something else!
desert - yogurt or soy milk shake



Wow MichaelAnn - at this rate you will be at goal next week! My head's a little foggy today, I started a check in but headed it as Tuesday. Oh well - congrat's on your continued success.

I Just started phase two today. I actually started just before the holiday, but with all the celebrations and relatives in town thought I should go back to phase 1 for a few days just to kinda detox. I've lost 18 pounds on SBD as of this morning, and can't even begin to express how happy and excited I am.
I do have a couple of questions. For breakfast this morning I had a serving of SBD cereal with a cup of milk and a glass of tomato juice. Am I still missing a protein? Since this is the first grain I have introduced on phase 2 do I also introduce a fruit today or do I wait a couple of days before I add anymore? I was thinking of having some cherries as a snack today, but don't want to push it. Lunch will be a salad with lemon garlic chicken breast or leftovers from last night - marinated chicken breasts stuffed with ham and cheese. Haven't decided on supper yet, but am leaning towards hamburgers on the grill with lettuce, tomato & onions, and green beans. Another snack will be string cheese and a yellow pepper. Dessert - fudgsicle. Any suggestions?

Hi Sarah! Congrats on your loss so far, that is great!
Yes, technically you should probably have some protein with your breakfast. When I have cereal for breakfast I will have 2 pieces turkey bacon, canadian bacon or some soy-based "sausage" like Morning Star Farms. But anything in the "protein" category would work (cheese, eggs, meat, etc.)
Its really up to you if you add both the grain and fruit at the same time. That is what I did. My first day in Phase 2 I had cereal for breakfast and an apple with peanut butter for a snack. I kept with 1 fruit/1 grain for a week, then added a second serving of each in week 2. As long as you don't experience cravings that would be fine. Others like to take it more cautious and go one at a time. Its a personal decision.
I would just make sure to have a carb competitor with your fruit if you have some today.

Here's my menu for the day. As usual, my weight is "up" from the weekend and not going away as quickly as usual, but I'm holding out that my Friday weigh-in will be positive!
B: soy milk, hb egg, soy patties, coffee (w/soy milk and soy creamer)
L: crock pot pulled pork, tomatoes, ww pita, peach
S: broccoli w/hummus
D: yogurt w/blueberries, spinach salad
I still think I'm eating too much which is my weigh is stuck. Not sure how I should change my menu . . . any suggestions?

MichaelAnn, you are doing sooooooo good! Even if you do change your goal to 130 lbs., you are so close and are such a success! You go, Girl!!!
Here's my menu for today...
B: Kraft SBD cereal bar, banana, coffee with soy milk
S: None
L: 1/2 whole-grain flat bread with chicken, LF cheese, roma tomato, lettuce and Carb Options ranch dressing (this is my new FAVE lunch!), grapes
S: Apple with pb, V-8
S: Red bell pepper with hummus
D: Leftovers-- Salmon patties with curry sauce (if you like salmon and haven't tried this recipe yet, DO! It's soooooo good!), portobello mushroom with mozzerella cheese and pine nuts, steamed zucchini and squash
Dessert: Fudge bar
Exercise: 30 minutes elliptical, weight training (biceps, chest, abs)
Have a great day!!!

Here's my plan for today:
B: Scrambled Egg Beaters, Morningstar Sausage Patty, SF/NF Mocha
S: Celery & Peanut Butter
L: Salad w/ RW Vinagrette, Leftover Pulled Pork (Another 'must try' recipe!) on 1 slice WW Bread
S: String Cheese
D: Salad w/ LF Ranch, Hamburger patty with onion, ketchup (just a little) and Mustard
Dessert: SBD Breakfast Bar
Exercise: Ran 1.5 miles during lunch hour, and may take the dog for a walk here in a minute. Looks like it might rain, but I think we'll risk it! It's looked like that all day anyway.
I'm not eating any fruit today. I hope that's not a problem. I just found out that Watermelon (which I have been indulging in for a week) is a Phase 2 no-no. Whoops! That's all the fruit I had in the house! So I'm off fruit until I have time to run to the store. I think I'm getting enough veggies in with the salads with each meal, but I don't know.
I forgot to weigh in today. I had been weighing on Mondays, but I figured that was detrimental, being the first day off the weekend, which is when most of my little cheats happen. So I'll postpone until Friday and see how things are progressing. Last Friday was when I discovered my 1 lb loss.
Best of luck to everyone this week!
