Hey I want to see if my menu yesterday was ok. I know where I went wrong.
B-coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 and splenda ( I really miss my french vanilla coffee mate)
then I was on the road driving so I had a V8, some turkey rolled around lowfat cheese.
Didn't have Morning snack due to being at an appt.
Lunch(early) a salad with chicken on top(with buffalo seasoning) I had lunch out. with a big bottle of water.
AS (was hungry) olives, cheese, turkey diet rite(was really wanting a soda for lunch but had water and waited till I got home and had a diet rite(made with splenda and has no caffeine tastes SO much better than other diet sodas also doesn't have nasty after taste. )
Dinner(metamucil drink(YUCK)) steak, "mock" mash potatoes, sauted mushrooms, broiled tomatoe.
dessert riccotta thingie with cocoa/splenda/vanilla
a cup of green tea before bed.
OK here is where I think I went wrong. I didn't eat enough for breakfast. I also think I am eating TOO much cheese. I also didn't eat as much of the salad part of my lunch. It was a small salad with alot of chicken. Next time I will get two of the small salads and less chicken to have more veggies. I also only drank 2 liters of water. I usually try for 3 since I read on here Dr Agaston said women should get approximatly 2.6 liters that is my daily goal. I am one of those that doesn't drink alot of anything. I know most of my problem is thirst. That is why I try and hit my goal each day. I did do good because I stood in the "candy" isle at the PX looking at easter candy. I love the cadburry eggs and robin eggs. I just stood there forever thinking I could buy osme and eat them. NOONE would know. I passed on them though. That was a BIG NSV for me.
I have to say I really liek this way of eating. I feel more in control and am able to turn done temptations. LOL the funny thing is the only temptations I have given into this week was a "small" piece of cornbread but passed up on candy and icecream. LOL
I did 5 days of Phase 1 and went off due to busy weekend working at a bazzaar. Restarted on this past Tuesday. Thanks for listening to me. Any advise will be appreciated. I will take the criticism and not be offended. LOL
Take care
