Phase I Friday...How's it Going?

TGIF!! Day 5 for me. I had veggie eggbeaters & can bacon with V8 for breakfast. The usual mozz stick for snack (10am) and today it's salad with turkey & lite cheese for lunch. Dinner will probably be fish & veggies. It's that TOM...as I can tell since I literally gained 1.8 lb of water weight overnight! I will hang in there and wait until Monday to weigh again....should lose that & hopefully more by then. ;-)

It's sunny and cool here in Omaha today.

Day 3 for me. Going well so far. but I tel ya, if going to the grocery store hungry before SB was bad, going hungry now is the pits!! I honestly have not missed the bread, but seeing it all while there was torture! And all the sweets too! Of course my sweet tooth from TOM is kickiing in too.

I know what you mean...LOL I hate going near the "carb delight" isle...giggle. I just remind myself that I will get to have those things again, in moderation, after I reach my goal. My first goal is to get through 2 weeks of P1. Today is my mom's birthday, so it will be a challenge when a cake presents itself. I want so bad to lose these last stubborn pounds, so I will stick it out. It's my TOM too, and I miss the bread, chocolate & pastries....but two weeks will go by and hopefully I won't crave them as bad as before and I'll be able to reintroduce these things without binging. ;-)

Good luck this weekend! If you absolutely must, just take a single bite and then leave the rest alone. That's what got me through months on WW last year when I lost most my weight.

Hugs,

Suzy

Today is Day 3 or P1 and I love the food choices on this diet. But, tonight I feel off the wagon a little and had a slice of french bread with I Can't...Butter. The bread just looked so yummy in the basket. I was at my sisters and I have not told them I am doing this yet so I think that is what did me in. DH knows, but I am waiting to tell my HUGE family incase it does nto work...

But, this morning for breakfast I had cand bacon, 2 eggs, water. Snack - Mozz Stick. Lunch - grilled tiplia fish with lemon, celery, carrots, scallions with lettuce, oil, vin. Snack: SF Jello Cup then Dinner: Grilled Salmon (Rosemary) Salad with lots of veggies then that slice of bread.

You're menu sounds great (except of course for the French Bread).

It's actually Sat am, but I just had to pat myself on the back !! :) Last night, (fri) went to a Mexican rest. (I'm on day 13 of Ph1) Had not one iota chip, not a bite, not a sniff!! Then, I ordered a beef dish with tomatoe relish stuff that was way spicey!! Didn't not eat any of the rice or the flour tortillas. Some of the refried beans got on my beef, so I did have a very very small of amout of refried beans. Unfortunately the beef was so tough I couldn't eat it. So my DH switched with me and I finished his chicken with onions and mushrooms. He complained to the owner and they took it off our ticket!!

It amazes me that I don't have those cravings. It's like there's that voice that was so strong before saying come on you know you want a chip. Now before SBD, that voice would have total control. But now it's like a faint whisper with no power. It's wierd to walk by the cookies/cakes and go Nah, don't want any. It's like I'm a different person and I really like her!! It'll take some time to get to know her, but I love the way she can turn down food!! :)

Brk: broccoli quiche with decaff coffee with splenda

sn: cheese stick

lunch: salad with feta cheese, 1 T of unsalted sunflower seeds and egg. oil/vin dressing (2 helpings: it was so good)

sn: sunflower seeds (unsalted)(about 2 T)

dinner: mexican rest. 1/2 beef dish and 1/2 chicken dish, 1 T of pinto beans, sf/ff jello pudding with reddi whip


Still no sun today!! I really miss the sun !!

Don't feel bad....just one piece of bread won't hurt you....just get back on track and you'll be fine. The rest of your day's menu was excellent.

Have a wonderful weekend!

WAY TO GO LORI!!! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I am SOOOOO proud of you! It is wonderful how the cravings fade, isn't it? You have the power....isn't that a great feeling? :-)

I am only on day 6, and I hope by day 13 I am as strong as you. Last night was my mom's 76th birthday. I don't know how long I'll have her around (She was in and out of hospital a few times already this year) so I decided to have a piece of her birthday cake with her to make her happy. I know it was bad for me, but I also know I will just get back on track and continue with P1 a few extra days if need be. I don't know if it was justified, but after seeing my dh lose his mom a few years ago totally unexpectedly at age 62, and seeing his regrets, I didn't want to take my mom for granted....I just don't know how much longer I'm going to have her, and her happiness is important to me. I would not have cheated for anyone else. We are going out tomorrow for her official birthday dinner (Friday was too crowded, and she didn't want to have problems getting into the restaurant with her walker). I know I can be SB friendly at the dinner. I will just have lean steak or fish and some veggies. No desert. Sorry I am babbling so much.....back to the point: YOU DID GREAT!!!!!

Hugs,

Suzy
