Hey Gang...I am just going to post my log here...what I have eaten for the day. I tried logging every bit of food in diary...and it does not seem like a good fit for me. Well, at least for now I am going to give this a try.
Of course, you are all welcome to join me.

B: 2 cups black coffee, carrot juice, hb egg, two clementines
L: lunch out salmon and salad-light vinagrette dressing, Marie Calendar, water
S: small honey crisp apple, 2 light babybels, diet snapple
Kansas City AHA sirloin steak, roasted butternut squash, steamed eggplant w/parm-reggiano, water, one cutie aka clementine
HC fudge bar (this is the plan for dessert...will try for just ONE and no almonds)
ETA: did not go back for another HC fudge bar...but add two babybel lights, when trying to fall asleep. -sigh-

Are you having problems finding foods in the database, or is it just to much of a hassle to log in the diary?0

Too tedious. A saland with three cherry tomatoes? one stalk celery...I am not interested in logging that kind of stuff.
That is just an example.
I just had dinner with one oz of microplaned reg/parmesan...I measure...I go for as many veggies (the unlimited kind) I can eat in a day...
It just seems to be something I do not want to do forever and posting what I have had in menu form is something I would do forever.
But that is just me.
ETA: Bottom line, not a fan of counting calories.0 -

S: cuppa cauliflower soup poached chicken breast with nsa bbq sauce, water, 2 cuties, cherry toms, water HC fudge bar 0 -
This is a great idea! I decided to take a week off of logging while I retry P1...I think trying to be perfect, logging, exercising, having a FT job, fur-kids, household chores, etc...it all becomes overwhelming and I tend to just let it all go.
I'll log here with you for my first two weeks of P1! I'm not worrying about fat content right now, just doing everything I can to kick those carbs!

B - coffee with whole milk, two eggs in Pam and bacon
L - (probably a repeat of breakfast)
D - grilled salmon, beans, veggies
*note: even though bacon is really high in fat and sodium and I don't eat it more than once every few years, I got one today because I hate turkey bacon, I can't have my yummy soy bacon while trying to conceive and when I'm in the first few days if P1, I crave really high fat foods. I definitely cannot be eating bacon as a staple, though!0 -
Welcome, and I love the company. :drinker:0

Log;
B: coffee with hot frothed skim milk, carrot juice, cherry toms, hb egg, two cuties
S: one more cofeee with HFSM
S: diet snapple
L: pulled poached chicken in nsa bbq sauce, cherry toms, sweet bell pepper strips, cuppa cauliflower soup, radishes, snapple
S: small honey crisp apple, light babybel two ounces penne, ground turkey, nsa marinara, skim milk mozza, baked ... water HC fudge bar walnuts...way more than one ounce...darn!
Working m - f this week...everything is prepped.
Just need to make a quick stop at TJ's for salsa especial. Yum.0 -
Good idea - Nancy
I haven't logged for 3 days - and I've behaved myself -
I agree with you - all that logging can be tedious and South Beach doesn't really have us counting calories.
but when I try to be accurate in my logging- I would save all the components of a meal together and that would save me from the repeated effort of entering each component of a salad (for example)
Since I usually repeat my menus while using up ingredients in the fridge, it saved me SOME time.0 -
I also like this idea as it is an easy way to come get some ideas of what people are eating and what I can maybe add to my menu.0

Thursday, October 18
Morning everyone (evening, Claire -- :laugh: )...(still using the plan/log deal here...still not sure what I like best, this or exact food MFP diary...but just as long as we do something along those lines, it's a good thing)...otherwise, it can go into a free fall ...and we sure don't want that.
Anyhoooooooooooooooo, here is my plan for today which will be a log by the end of the day with changes along the way.
LOG
B: coffee with HFSM, hb egg, cherry toms, carrot juice
S: diet snapple, 3 sf brachs hard candy, light mini babybel
L: gotta use up my yogurt...fat free plain fage with nature's hollow nsa maple syrup, cuties, diet snapple
S: cherry toms, left over bake eggplant with parm/reg tacos (ezekiel tortillas -- not the corn one, even though I do have some of those delights in my freezer -- ground turkey, cabbage, tomato, onion, light MExican cheese, salsa, corn salsa-TJs, light sour cream) water HC fudge bar on the stick in a bowl with walnuts
Okie doke...pretty much just like yesterday...using up what I have made for the week.
Note: I am aware that corn is not on P2 just in case the food police are stopping by... :bigsmile: (reference to a time gone by...:glasses: )0 -
Nanc,
I hear you about the corn "police" ...... but I never saw anything wrong with eating corn or pineapple ...... that stuff didn't make me fat ...... it was the cookies, cakes, potato chips, candy, pizza, boatloads of pasta & fried stuff ....... day in & day out !
So, didn't it figure that Mr GrumpyPants wanted pizza for dinner tonight during the football game ...... so I had a slice ..... yes, it fit into my daily calories ...... but I know those particular type of calories aren't my friends !
So much for good intentions :laugh:0 -

Hi there MA...and you know what, I think a change of pace (within reason) is good to keep us moving forward. Now that may sound like a copout to some, but the way I see it, it is to release the pressure just a bit so we don't blow a gasket.
The pizza was your pressure release. I know you and I know it will not drag on for days, leading into weeks and months.
The thing that I do have to be careful about is real sugar...that one can send me into a spiral. So I am with you on that ban on Halloweenie candy...none for me...not now...not so close to the Eating Season.0 -
October 19 (my mom's bday, may she rest in peace
)
LOG:
B: two black coffees (out of skim milk...sigh), one hb egg, carrot juice, tomato slices
S: diet snapple, sf hard brachs
L: BLT (real bacon from TJ...the precooked without the nitrates and nitrites)...three slices 100 cal...not sb (just keeping me honest), two slices ezekiel toast, light mw, lettuce tomato...two cuties. That's it.
S: one small honey crisp apple and one mini babybel on the way home...so when I get in the door afterwork, I can at least change my clothes before heading to the fridge. LOL
S: baked eggplant with part skim mozza on top and nsa marinar sauce. tuna salad (tuna in water, onions, celery, eggs, light mw) in lettuce cups, cherry toms, water two HC fudge bar and two ounces walnuts.
I WILL come clean if I go over on dessert...nighttime snacking is my area that needs major improvement.
I now feel great (especially when I get enough sleep)...and that has a lot to do with limiting the ADDED SUGAR in my diet...as well as the white potatoes (which I do miss), white rice (which I do not) nor do I miss the white pasta...I am fine with brown rice and whole wheat pasta.
Toodles for now, gang. Have a great day! :flowerforyou:0 -
Good job today! I'm back to regular loggin, but this was a great kick-start!0

i am back to regular logging as well. In my diary. We'll see how long that lasts. As long as I log each and every day...I think I am good.
Happy healthy eating today, EVERYONE! -nanc0 -
Hey everyone!
I wish i would have weighted myself when i first started this diet approx two weeks ago but a group of girls i work with also joing with me and my whole thing was i WANTED TO SEE THE RESULTS PHYSICALLY, nothing worse then looking at a scale and just seeing a number but not looking at my body and actually seeing results.... well now im getting to the point i wish i did have that number because i feel like day and day goes by and nothing more. I am trying to go one more week of no carbs because im not ready for phase 2, especially because phase 1 did not help me lose as much as i imagined, however it did help me lose weight. Notcing some of my clothes are fitting bigger
I just wanted to know what did everyone eat during Phase 1,
maybe hearing what others are eating will help change up my routine and help me shed some more before i go into phase 2!
