2019 Reboot

Sabine_Stroehm Posts: 19,263 Member
I think it's becoming a tradition for me to do an annual "audit" of my eating and a reboot of SB Phase 1 after the holidays.

This year I begin my reboot with about 15 extra pounds after menopause and some medication changes. So the reboot has a dual purpose this year!
I'll be reviewing everything I eat and determining if it is in keeping with my goals.

Today's plan:
30 minute slow run on the treadmill, and if the weather holds, yoga at noon.

br: left over lean steak, egg, spinach
sn: small peppers
lu: Salad with herring
sn: babybel or some nuts
di: cilantro chicken in the crockpot
de: low fat yogurt with some sugar free syrup or jello

Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year! (fyi for anyone looking in...my plan is obviously not South Beach...but I have been with these guys for years...began juicing daily this past April and see no signs of letting up..it has become a lifestyle).

    Also, important to note...I lost 40 pounds on South Beach ... went from 175 to 135...began June 2008...September 2009 I went to my niece's wedding in Spain and felt and looked great...did tons of walking...all because of Dr. A's South Beach Diet. It works. It does. But my needs and tastes have evolved into a more Whole Foods Plant Based Diet.


    Today's Plan:

    Black coffee (2)
    Two, carrot/apple juices
    One, mean green (spinach, celery, cucumber, apple, ginger, lemon)
    One, straight up celery

    One baked potato with side leafy green salad and Newman's Own Light Italian dressing.


    Have a great start to the year, everyone!

    Celery organic celery at sprouts today is $2.49 a bunch I can’t afford that to make celery juice. I bought one bunch of regular salary for $1.29 I think so I’ll use that to make my green juice I need to turn my patio into my own private farm vegetable garden.

    About a week ago organic celery at sprouts was $.99 a bunch $.99! I can afford that I can’t afford $2.49 for a bunch of celery

    Given your fabulous veggie/fruits, have a look at the nutritarian group. You might get some great ideas from them. I know I do.

    Hi, guys, Happy New Year.

    Br: V8 low sodium veg. juice, Kellogg's All Bran Bran Buds with blueberries, banana, skim milk
    Lu: probably sushi with brown rice
    Sn: pear with mozzarrella stick
    Dinner: not sure--mushroom barley soup and either spinach salad or some sort of fish with veggies

    Lu: spinach salad with the works--hummus, hard-boiled egg, blueberries, tomatoes, mushrooms, wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, sunflower seeds, Clementine, cucumber, carrots and also some Ak Mak crackers

    OK, so I finally reread the relevant parts of the book and learned that I've been having too much fruit. I will need to cut back, though, I suppose, if that's the worst thing I've been doing, that's not too bad. I will taper off.

    @silvergirl133 I re-read parts of the book as well. Or rather I listed to parts of the book. Then a dear friend who has an industrial scanner scanned in my print book. So much easier now to search for things!

    The scale is cooperating a bit. And I've been sleeping well too. yay.

    Today, day 4.
    exercise: a noon jog, and a long walk to work.

    br: scrambled eggs with spinach and feta
    sn: last nights dessert of "key lime pie" (FF yogurt mixed with SF limed jello, cooked, then chilled)
    Lu: shirataki noodles with spinach and pesto
    sn: nuts and red peppers
    di: the last of the chicken, spinach and pesto
    de: more "key lime pie"

    Sabine, the key lime pie sounds good. What do you mean by "cooked"? Is it just the boiling water to make the jello, which is then chilled, after which it is added to the yogurt?

    Today:

    Br: V8 low sodium veg. juice, Kellogg's All Bran Bran Buds with blueberries, banana, skim milk
    Lu: spinach salad with the works--hummus, tomatoes, mushrooms, wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, sunflower seeds, Clementine, cucumber, carrots and also some Ak Mak crackers
    Sn: pear with mozzarrella stick
    Dinner: mushroom barley soup and salmon with veggies, Dave's killer thin whole wheat bread slice, pistachios

    Good morning!
    Day 11. The scale has ticked down about 6Lbs. Of that is, of course, water weight which will come whooshing back when I start phase 2. But I'll take 3 Lbs in two weeks.

    Today is another goofy day.
    Exercise: none.
    Br: NONE
    snack: none
    lunch: none
    snack: cauliflower soup
    dinner: scrambled eggs

    (I'm having conscious sedation and a big dental procedure this morning)

    silvergirl33 Posts: 342 Member
    Sabine, good luck with your dental procedure. And congrats on the 6 lbs.

    I've somehow managed to lose 3 lbs by being more rigorous (though hardly perfect) in SB Phase 2.

    Today:

    Br: V8 low sodium veg. juice, Kellogg's All Bran Bran Buds with bananas, skim milk
    Lu: spinach salad with hard-boiled egg and hummus, Ak Mak crackers
    Sn: apple with mozzarrella stick
    Dinner: sushi with brown rice, not sure what else
