Hello everyone!
Cassie-I wanted to tell you I think you handled the day of "falling off the wagon" really well. Don't beat yourself up about it! Besides, I've found that a day like that every so often can fire up your metabolism. And also, you mentioned you might not be eating enough--my rule of thumb is that whenever I get unnecessarily grumpy, it is usually because I'm not eating enough. You are probably way more active now than you realize now that school has started. Just some thoughts!
Alright let's see here..
Breakfast- kashi cereal with skim milk, v8, mozz stick, and an apple with 1 tb PB
Snack- dunkin donuts small coffee w/ skim milk and sf caramel
Lunch- a whole wheat wrap with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and a slice of turkey bacon and 1 tb rf mayonnaise
Snack-broccoli w/ sf ketchup and 3 triscuits with hummus(the wrap is bigger than 30grams)
Dinner-cajun fish and a side salad
Dessert-1 cup nf plain yogurt w/ mixed berries, splenda, & cocoa
That's it for now, have a great day!

I've decided I'm going to re-join my beloved yoga studio for the month of October. They are having a "30-Day Challenge", whereby you must go every day throughout the month or a total of 30 times. Prizes are awarded to those that successfully complete the challenge (including free membership passes). I used to do a lot of yoga, and I really miss it. Plus, the variety I practice is Ashtanga, which encompasses both cardio and strength. If I add in a couple of runs a week, and some weight training sessions, I should really be able to boost my weight loss (hopefully I can finally lose SOME weight!!).
Hope everyone is having a great day!
Cheers,
Stef

Okay Catherine, I am really curious. I am more of a lurker than a poster. Anyway I have noticed on your menu that you have broccolli with ketchup. No offense, and I know people have different tastes, but that doesn't sound like a very appealing combination. So is the broccolli raw or cooked? I just might be brave enough and give it a try.

I'm doing a P1 today (and maybe tomorrow) to get myself back on track. I've been doing okay on my P2 but slipping up here and there (like a couple of pringles or pretzels). So far this is what I have for today:
B: 2 eggs scrambled (made w/ smart balance) with a sprinkle of 2% cheddar cheese
S: cheese stick
L: Salad w/ grilled chicken, chick peas, broccoli, tofu, cauliflower, zuchinni and caeser dressing.
S: cashews
D: Not sure yet - probaby another salad.
S: SF ice pop

Karen--
I'm laughing out loud! The people around me find it a bit odd too--it is frozen broccoli that I microwave for a little bit with ketchup.
See, I hate vegetables(hence the cup of v8 everyday), and I love ketchup, so I put sugar free ketchup on everything in order to eat it. I recently got zero calorie ranch dressing, so I might try that too.
But ketchup is seriously great if you bake thin sliced yellow squash and season them a little--it is a great french fry substitute!
Alright, enough with my ketchup rant. Please come back and post more often, its so helpful!

You guys are cracking me up. It makes me wonder what other "odd" creations people have come up with to get their veggies in or for other reasons!!
Here is my day (basically following p1 today)
B: peanut butter yogurt
S: turkey
L: roast beef and cheddar cheese, V8
S: soy milk, almonds
D: asian chicken patties and LOTS of veggies
S: sf ice cream bar
Hi Karen,
Which brand of nsa ice cream bars do you buy? Hopefully they're carried in Canada, cause that sounds yummy!!
Also, I was wondering whether or not the NSA Revellos and NSA Creamsicles by the Popsicle brand are ok for South Beach?
I'm just dying for some ice cream flavor in my life!! ;)
Cheers,
Stef

Breakfast: Uncle Sam Cereal w/ banana 2 slices of Turkey Bacon 1 cup of chai tea, WOW I eat this alot! LOL

Hi. I just bought Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom ice cream bars (strawberry ice cream with chocolate coating). They are no sugar added, and 90 calories. Popsicle is another brand that carries no sugar added bars. There are plenty of other brands out there too, and hopefully in Canada. Just look for no sugars added to the ingredient list and under 100 calories - this would count as your sweet treat for the day.
HTH,
