The munchies?

I'm on day three of Phase 1, and although I'm not hungry, per se, I have this urge to munch. I wouldn't even call it a craving, exactly, because I'm not craving anything specific. Is this happening/has this happened with anyone else?
Here's what I've eaten so far today...finished lunch about an hour and a half ago.
Breakfast:
2 veggie quiche cups
2 slices Canadian bacon
V8
Snack:
Low fat mozzarella stick
Lunch:
Leftover Zesty chicken w/black beans from dinner last night (mmmm!)
(1 boneless chicken breast, green peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, jalapenos and black beans)
I've got a big turkey roll-up waiting in the fridge for my next snack. And I've been drinking lots of water -- I'd say about 40 ounces so far, steady through the day.
Any thoughts or suggestions? TIA!

Phase 1, Day 3


Hi Steph, I would add more to your mid morning snack right off the bat.

I ended up running to the deli and getting a package of plain pistachios; had my allotted 30, which satisfied my need to chomp. I also had two turkey-cheese rollups, which I'd brought to the office for my afternoon snack. It seemed to do the trick!
I'm sooooooo not used to eating breakfast, which I know is not the greatest thing because you need to keep a steady stream of fuel...it just became my habit not to have breakfast or really any a.m. snack. I've got to break that. Another thing is, I'm sitting at a desk all day, and the monotony is DEADLY -- I think the noshing is mostly something to alleviate the boredom. Getting up and taking a brisk walk outside (in this case, to the deli) could also help break the cycle.
Susan, my mouth had been watering for the roasted garbanzos ever since the first post! I made them last night, and they were GREAT when they first came out of the oven...but then I think I packaged them too soon, because by this morning they were no longer crunchy and tasty -- more like rubbery and bland. Maybe I need to leave them out to cool down longer before putting them in a container... Like I said, they were terrific when they first came out of the oven -- now I just need to keep them that way so I can take them to work!!
Well, that's enough rambling -- movin' on!

girlfriend, you got no crunch. add some celery, cashews, ANYTHING crunchy.
Hope
So I guess I WAS having a craving, after all! ;-D
Thanks for the input!

Aw Steph, you are doing great!
Susan :)
I've messed up a couple of times. Does that mean I need to go back to day 1, or should I just keep moving along? I've lost 8 pounds the first week
Congratulations - 8 pounds is great.
