    Today's Plan

    B: Joe's mean green
    L: TJs. bambino pizza...new package and I think new recipe. Excellent. $1 a pizza....four in a box. Just had the new formula today...so so much better than old...but old was good...so that is saying a lot. Small portion, controlled serving of pizza...that is good? Gotta go with it.
    S: Green Smoothie (spinach, pineapple, mixed berries, water)
    Di: TJs Herb salad mix, toss in...grilled corn (TJs), peas and baked chicken shredded... TOP with 1T Newman's Light Italian, fresh peach
    De: Julies Fudge Bar, pop corn

    Morning...back to work Monday...been up for awhile...dishes done...menu set for the day:

    B: green smoothie (spinach, frozen berries and pineapple, water), three eggs (one yolk), hatch salsa
    L: pizza, peach
    S: edamame (may make a Joe's Mean Green after work as well)
    Di: TJs herb salad greens topped with corn and peas, 4 oz chopped chicken breast, garbanzo beans, shaved fresh parm/regg, 1T Newman's light Italian...a really good salad.
    De: yay for Julie's fudge bars and popcorn...LOL

    We are short handed at work...so my little part time job is now five days a week until we are staffed fully again. Keeping it very simple...even more so than before.

    Today's Menu:

    B: eggs, salsa, peach
    L: TJs burrito & green salsa, two peaches
    Di: TJs bambino pizza, steamed edamame
    De: popcorn and two Julies Blackberry sorbet bars


    Gearing up for a reboot on 7/13 Not gaining, not losing...and want to see if I can get down to 135 on a reboot. I am not excited about this...darn...cuz I love summer fruit...but if I do it now, I will have time to enjoy fruit in August. Really have lost 17 on the first reboot...now I just want to lose five...(of course ten is optimal)...but would be happy with five.

    That means no Joe's Mean Green for awhile...and no fruit in my green smoothies...back to Zip Fizz. ..and at least, happy with that option. Thanks Sabine for that tip!

    I've lost a tad more. A pound or so. Again, I'm at maintenance, give or take, so not a surprise.
    I leave for my 3 week trip on Wednesday. My goal: lower carb, higher protein, and do the best I can.

    Today:
    breakfast: poached egg and avocado (a phase!)
    snack: watermelon
    lunch: weird, but blue cheese, kale chips, avocado, popcorn
    snack: snap peas
    dinner: chopped salad, chardonnay
    dessert: watermelon

    It's ok...stuff happening around here...just found out...may be looking for a new job...think mine is going away...so might just hang on to my routine for awhile, while I gather myself and find a new job. I know how to maintain...that's a good thing.

    You're doing great! I'm still in Europe, but have moved on to the third location. Location one it was easy to eat right. Number two was more challenging, but I did ok. Third one should be easier again. Here's hoping!

    I'm home! And doing phase 1 for a week to renew habits. I managed not to really gain weight while I was gone, but do need to re-double my efforts.
    Starting today.

    cheers

    Thanks!

    Today's Menu looks a lot like yesterday...

    B: HB eggs mashed with 1/2 avocado, coffee and stuff in it that I need to work on not having...only tricky spot I am dealing with right now.
    S: Green smoothie (same as yesterday...not a fav but I think it does a lot of good...the chia seeds especially)
    L: Not sure of the protein yet and then Olives, hummus and carrots
    Di: Chicken thighs, salad, dusting of parm/reg and dressing
    De: % Fage with jam and pistachios...trying to only have the recommended amount of 30 ... LOL...that should be enough, right? Miss Piggy here had to have ten extra yesterday.


    Hope everyone has a great day...post your menus!
