    Finally got to the supermarket yesterday, so am now flush with veggies. Hooray! (If you'd told me years ago that this would ever have been my reaction, I would have thought you were nuts. Times change :D .)

    Today's plan:

    B: V8 juice, Bran Buds, skim milk, banana

    L: spinach salad with hard boiled egg, sunflower seeds, radish, mushrooms, tomatoes, roasted peppers, Laughing Cow herb and garlic cheese, blueberries, cucumbers

    Snacks: pear/skim mozzarella stick; plain yogurt/clementine

    Dinner: mixed green salad, broiled salmon, mixed vegetables, mini whole wheat bagel, pistachio nuts

    Menu sounds good, ladies. Beautiful salad, silvergirl. I love when I have lunch at work and dump my salad into my bowl. It looks so beautiful and I know I am doing the very best for myself.

    Will make five more on Sunday and change up the ingredients a bit. Great to see ideas here for just what I might pick up at the market.

    Sabine, Ernestine loves Edamame too. Course she loves all her veggies...she is a South Beach Pup! B)

    Our dogs love all veg too! And tofu. I don't really get why they like tofu. When I eat it it has lots of flavor. They eat it plain!

    Today's Plan:

    b: hb egg, almonds, string cheese, veggie juice

    l: mason jar salad with avocado, Bolthouse dressing

    s: veggie juice and hb egg

    d: salmon, green beans, nectarine

    d: yogurt bar with sliced almonds

    s: pistachios

    Lots and lots of repeats which is good for me...keeping it simple...lot less room for error...I do need to stop at Sprouts this weekend and get chicken. Like to buy bone in with skin and then remove skin before cooking. The chicken comes our better tasting when roasted with bone in.

    Hope everyone has a good day. So happy it is Friday. B)

    That was supposed to be I have started to think about a 100 calorie thin Orowheat bun for my chicken patty burger. However, I am going to stick with my lettuce bun and add tomato and onion, ketchup and may...delish.

    Two more days for one week. Will see how I feel and try for a second. I have been having fruit, but not that much. I feel great ...and I am seeing progress.

    Hope you guys are having a good day.

    Saturday's Menu:

    b: egg white om...1oz chicken apple sausage, 1 LC, Hatch green chili salsa, 4 oz egg whites...baked for three min in the mic...maybe 3 1/2 min. Delish.

    s: veggie juice

    l: don lee farms chicken patty burger with LTO, mayo and ketchup.

    s: HB egg veggie juice

    d: salmon, asparagus, cauliflower, haricot verts, watermelon

    di: Julies strawberry yogurt bar with 15 grams almonds.

    I started on Monday but tomorrow will be my official weigh in...easier to weigh on the weekend. Feeling strong. Will add ak maks on Monday for lunch. Taking a break from Mason Jar salads. Roast beef and swiss on ak mak with romaine and avocado. Veggies on the side with Bolthouse dip.

    Just got back from Sprouts...bought four huge chicken breasts...this time, will freeze two. So nothing to throw away.

    Have a great Saturday, y'all! B)

    AK MAKS:

    http://www.akmakbakeries.com/wholeofthewheat.html

    They have crunch and great flavor...I make little open faced sammies with them...perfect for light lunch so I am ready to finish the work day.

    Your salad always sounds so good.

    Pushing myself to get to my pedal pusher (recumbent bike)...lately I have been sleeping in the morning and not getting up in time to bike. It's ok in my book...but maybe if I bike these two days, I will be back in the swing on Monday.

    I am adding things gradually. This week, the bike...then the pool...then the fitness chair. That's the plan. But you know how that goes.

    The one thing I am very much in control of is my diet. I know what works and what doesn't.

    I can now walk through the store and put a stamp on the fact that THAT DOES NOT WORK...I have no control over certain foods...so why torture myself. Just pass on them. Stick with the ones that I will NOT overeat.

    Off to pedal. Enjoy your weekend, ladies! Thanks for the support.

    Thanks for the info re AK MAKS. They don't have it in my current supermarket in NY, but I'm moving to GA at the end of next month, and I should be able to get it at Krogers or Publix there. I'll look for it then.

    They are also good with a laughing cow squished between two. Add a cupcakes tea and your afternoon or bedtime snack is complete! B)
