    Tell me about your low carb wrap...brand, etc. Sounds Delish. We have one week to prep. Yikes.

    We have a few available here

    Mission whole wheat carb balance tortillas which I DO like, but isn't very healthy

    La Banderita low carb soft taco whole grain tortillas which I DO like and is healthier. It gets the best review on fooducate, so I use this the most.

    LA Tortilla company whole wheat tortilla which I DON'T like

    Some of them have a chemical taste I have found. That is why I had just used TJs organic made with olive oil. And they were not low carb.

    I guess since I no longer have any bread, nor tortillas in the house, I will just keep them out for now.

    I am probably going to have fruit this week...but will reduce my jasmine rice to one serving when I do have it. Pretty much gearing up for next Sunday. May use the zipp fizz again...I have some left from last year...I need to check the dates.

    I will keep your recommendations in mind when I do go back to wraps...thanks for the info. <3

    *walks the walk of shame into the room*
    So...hopefully I'm back. I had to take a break and get things straight in my head. I am so very glad the holidays are over, even though they were pretty good. I was just at a point where I had to step away from things.

    Today's Plan...already did 45 min bike...yay!

    b: egg salad, coffee
    l: ak maks, string cheese, Black Forrest Ham, olives, cuties, avocado
    s: green drink
    d: chicken rice broccoli
    d: PB and HC bar...hmm hmm good!

    This time around, not able to get snacks in much...receptionist and no eating at desk...also, hard to get bathroom breaks...so most drinking is done at home. Hours 7 - 3:30. Most likely the zip fizz will not work into my schedule. If I have it in the late afternoon, it will mess with my sleeping.

    Still not where I want to be food wise, but taking baby steps. Just found out some really bad news yesterday but there's always a silver lining from a situation, right? I'm trying not to stress about everything and work on what I actually can.

    Everyone else sure looks like they are making really good choices! It's all mind over matter, one day at a time <3

    Today's Menu:

    b two hb eggs mashed with avocado and salsa, coffee
    l rice (last time for a long while)...chicken salsa
    s olives green drink
    d kale salad and veggie burger
    d dark choco tea

    Went shopping for protein yesterday...

    sirloin steaks, ground turkey, wild caught salmon, boneless skin less chicken, veggie burgers

    Lunch for first week will be taco mason jar salad...breakfast SB quiches. I am so ready to do this. I am also thinking of zip fizz early in the day*...I need a way to get in more veggies...thoughts?

    I just can't drink too much...real issues about getting to the bathroom too often with this new job.

    *maybe instead of at breakfast have it about 11:30...make it up early, put in water bottle...drink it up and then I have lunch at 12:30...logistics...ugh.

    My goal during the work week is to take all decision making out of the equation...I just want to go on auto pilot and and DO IT!

    You're so organized. How about snap peas or something as a snack?

    I'm thinking eggs and veg, or egg cups for breakfast
    snap peas, broccoli, string cheese and nuts for my snacks
    salads with sardines or other fish for my lunches
    and lean meat/veg for my dinners.
    SF pudding for desserts

    Jello makes a pre-made sugar free chocolate pudding. I like that, and sometimes like that with a little peanut butter in it. :smile:

    Quick question for you guys. How important is portion size for things like homemade soup, hotdishes, homemade dressings, etc.? I know there's some general guidelines, but I was just curious.
