Phase II Thursday Check in!

Hi everyone!

I did notice the new food journal thread, but I think I prefer check-ins; I like writing/reading tidbits about that specific day. But that's just me! :-)

Last night I made a huge pot of chili and seperated it into little tupperwares so this will be a major food group for me for the next week! I also got my mom to really *commit* to this WOE. She has always been really afraid to try, but has cut all refined sugar and flour out of her life for over a couple months now! She has been stuck in an old school dieting mindframe, not eating enough and not drinking enough water. Today I sent her off to work with a lunch and two snacks and water in a huge bag!!

Here's how today is shaping up:

Breakfast- kashi cereal w/ skim milk and a banana
Snack-cup broccoli w/ sf ketchup
Lunch- Chili with a side salad and zero calorie ranch dressing
Snack-triscuits & hummus & an apple at some other point
Dinner-spaghetti squash pattie, eggplant pizza, and side salad(if i'm still hungry)
Dessert-nf plain yogurt or milk

Gym-elliptical for 30 minutes

Man that looks a little bizarre to me, but that is what is available to eat. Have a good day everyone.

Hi Ladies:)

I feel the same as you, I think our little group on the Phase 2 check-ins are delightful and spportive enough.

I was feeling well this A.M. so I had to zap the exercising fro today.Yes that a great idea as it getting chili out and a good pot of chili would hit the spot. I Have a big tuberware bowl of homemade veggie soup.

my menu today is:

B=French Toast w) s/f syrup 1 c 1% milk for tea

S=v8 w) celery stirrer

Dinner at Noon= steak um's with 1/2 sweet potato with green beans and pinenuts

S=peach with whipped topping

Supper=Fried Eggplant with Bosca Italian Sausages

Dessert=1c choc milk

Hugs :) Maryann
