Do you know of any decent-tasting sugar-free hot chocolate? I'm missing that in this cold weather.0

still on soft foods

sn: babybel

As I'm trying to find soft things to eat... I tried a "mug cake" with SF syrup instead of honey. Tasty. Felt like dessert. I had it for post surgery lunch.

EDIT: I decided to have a big pre-made salad (local organic place on campus) with a can of sardines. YUM.1 -
Ok, after binge reading through some of the SB books (pulling out the highlights of the program), I'm going to give it a try-think having a bit more structure will help me hit my protein/fat goals better.
Phase 2/Day 1 (have about 10lbs of maintenance creep to correct yet, down from 14lbs at the beginning of the month); morning weigh-in 138.6lbs/tom
B: 2 slices sprouted whole grains bread, toasted, with 2 triangles of light cheese spread
-no veggie, need to figure out how to incorporate them into breakfast
S1: x (have never had a morning snack because I don't eat breakfast till later in the morning)
L: 4oz piece of Pollock, 'marinated' in light Italian dressing; large salad with spinach, tomato, sweet mini-peppers, green and black olives, cubed pepperjack cheese, mild pepper rings, mushrooms, broccoli and light Catalina dressing; multi-grain crisps
S2: green smoothie: kale, small banana (not recommended on phase 2 but it's the only way I can tolerate the kale
), 2 clementines, plain Greek yogurt and ground flax seed
S: sweet potato with regular, full fat ranch dressing; 1 serving/.5c of beans (I mix various kinds of canned beans with a large can of baked beans and keep some in the fridge, some in the freezer)
de: x
E: 1 mile brisk walk
what's different than how I was eating before: added another triangle of cheese to breakfast, to get in 2 more grams of protein (and for only 25 calories too), and I cut out a third fruit from my green smoothie, which I normally would have added.0 -
Day 17 P2
The scale has suddenly become stubborn, which my rationale mind was expecting, but still. (I knew that when I added back some more carbs my glycogen stores would fill and I'd stall. I also doubled exercise this week, as I'm back at work and the work gym so it's water retention central.)
One more week of soft foods. Stitches come out next week. Man this is boring and im not eating enough veggies.
br: kellogs egg cup (with red peppers)
sn: baby bel
lu: lean ground beef, spinach, feta
sn: quest bar
di: small lean steak, steamed broccoli
de: ricotta with unsweetened cocoa0 -
Day 2 P2 weight: 137.8/tom (down almost a pound this morning )
B: 2 slices sprouted whole grains bread, toasted, with 2 triangles of light cheese spread (overslept this morning, will do the veggie quiche another morning)
S:x
L: Large salad: spinach, tomato, sweet mini-peppers, green and black olives, cubed pepperjack cheese, mild pepper rings, diced onion, broccoli, 1/2c black beans and light Catalina dressing; multi-grain crisps
S2: green smoothie: kale, small banana, 2 clementines, plain Greek yogurt and ground flax seed
S: finglerling potatoes, roasted with spices and 1/2tbsp oil, mixed together with water sauteed mushrooms, steamed green beans and Parmesan cheese; 1/2c baked beans mixture (kidney, pinto and black)

E: 1 mile brisk walk0 -

Morning pals...
Today:
Green Smoothie (spinach, pineapple, peaches, banana, chia seeds, water)
Carrot/Orange fresh juice
Lettuce Salad with avocado Evoo and Lemon
Bean tostadas two Ezekiel corn tortillas, refried beans -VEG, shredded cabbage, corn, pico de gallo
Sleepy time tea
After today, OUT of Freshly made juices...I love my new vacuum blender...now I am waiting for the mason jar accessory that will vacuum seal my 16 ounce wide mouth jars that I fill with fresh juice. Should arrive tomorrow. Amazon prime. Gives a longer fridge shelf life. I have decided freezing my juice is good to have stock but bad cuz it changes texture and taste. So I am going a different route. Also, this gadget will be great for storing greens in wide mouth 32 ounce mason jars. YAY!
Have a lovely day.

Sabine, I'm always so amazed at how much exercise you get. You are so good! I just try to walk as much as possible and go to a weekly yoga class. My dog gets me out for 40 minutes in the morning, then 2 20-30 minute walks during the day. Of course, our walks are more strolls since she does a lot of sniffing along the way.
