    Sabine do you mind if I join your thread to keep track of what I'm eating daily as I experiment with a more SB woe, or I can start my own thread too :)

    Sabine, it's easier to have good menus when you're retired B)

    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 :p ), 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.

    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 cocoa

    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.

    Today:

    Br: V8 low sodium veg. juice, Kellogg's All Bran Bran Buds with banana,skim milk
    Lu: spinach salad with hard-boiled egg and hummus, Ak Mak crackers
    Sn: pear with mozzarrella stick
