GM...well, I am officially out of the old place...keys turned in and I am done done and done. Landlady sent me a great little note, saying she appreciated me taking care of the place like it was my own and it sparkled when I left. Except for the non refundable pet deposit of 175, I get my entire deposit back...truly needed to help pay for my pup's surgery.
Alrighty then, I stopped at Costco and with the exception of me not making my own green smoothies (using a premade one from Costco) for now, I am pretty much back to standard P2 fare.
Today's menu:
B: scrambled eggs, toast and butter, green smoothie
S: yogurt and jam
L: salmon, asparagus, apple
S:
Di: tomato soup, grilled Ezekiel cheese
De: pistachios and tea

So I'm on phase 2 now, and it's been and will still be an awful week of a lot of eating out! My first day of phase 2, went out with hubby and had way more calories than usual, kept to low carb at least, and day after weighed only .4 more than the day before. Ate lunch out yesterday, and will be doing birthday lunches with friends both tomorrow and Thursday! Sometimes a week like this just happens and I find if I order salads with protein my weight at least stays stable. I lost 3.8 lbs. over the 2 weeks of phase one and that's huge for me, I lose very slowly and I'm sure that's what it will be from now on. I'd like to lose about 6 more lbs. and I know that will take me at least 4 months, lol.0

I think that's the key: when you eat out, eat low carb! Avoid grains and sauces as much as you can in restaurants. Save those for home, when you know what's in them.
I tend to eat salads with protein or chicken/steak/fish with veg when we eat out (or try to at least, I'm in maintenance, so it's a bit different).
Congrats on the almost 4 pound loss! That's great!
I've gone back to a phase 1.5 while in the throes of menopause (yes, maintaining in phase 1.5 lol). Hubs, dear, dear, hubs is doing it with me for the time being.0 -
LOL @ "phase 1.5". Is that, like, phase one with very limited servings of fruit/wholegrains? Honestly, that's how I should eat all the time, when the carbs get away from me I do a slow gain no matter how low the calories are. I can actually eat a lot of calories in maintenance if my extra calories are nuts, avocados, nut butters, etc. and not crackers, bread and/or high sugar treats. Luckily a tablespoon of almond butter is as satisfying to me as chocolate cake, and doesn't make me crave more sweets.0

Which brings up another topic - the main message boards, they are ALL about CICO (calories in/calories out) and how anything else is total nonsense and a myth. Hoards will attack anyone who suggests that keeping their carbs down helps them lose weight better; they constantly claim if you eat 1200 cals. a day in ice cream you will lose the same as eating 1200 cals. in healthy lean proteins, fruits and veggies and whole grains in moderation. I find THAT total nonsense but don't want to be attacked, so I don't jump into those conversations. And I do lose better, have less cravings and feel so much better when I am keeping my carbs down (not missing, just down).0

That's exactly it. Some fruit. And maybe one grain a day. These days it's the only way I maintain! I'm hoping once my hormones settle a bit... we'll see!0
