Hemp hearts and chia seeds. Siri screwed up0

hemp hearts have more protein and fat. They fill up a smoothie nicely.0

In the end, dinner out was a spicy chicken soup. No noodles. I believe it was SB friendly.
Tomorrow is my trip. Thursday-Sunday. I'm going to try my level best and am hoping for the best, but I'm at a board meeting with food being catered in. In my head, I'm keeping going, but in my head I also know I'm going to do a full week two once I return. So I'll do 2.5 weeks total.
Cheers!0 -

Safe travels, kiddo. It will be 2.5 weeks for me too...but no "board meeting." I just needed a four day head start to get my head right and properly stock my fridge. Tomorrow is day five. March 1st...phase 2.
I especially like the hemp in the smoothie...much more to it...thanks for THAT tip. You are full of em. (*)

Yes! I'm not a big fan of protein powders, but had heard that hemp was a good protein/fat combo. So I bought a single serve bag. Loved it immediately and have been using it since.magic71755 wrote: »Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »Menu tweak:

prepping my lunch right now for work...eat late breakfast, lunch and dinner on tues and thurs...I must say, I am so excited to eat it..mostly all whole foods (cept for the zipfizz...but no waycould I have a green smoothie without something in there, sweet). I love that feeling...the scale has moved a bit during this first week...but most of all, the sugar cravings are gone. Oh don't get me wrong...I love my two sweets...fage with sf syrup and HC fudge bar.0

Sorry I haven't checked in for a while - you guys are doing great! I ate an apple the other day (just needed fruit!!) and the hubby made an awesome vegie lo mein the other night because he though I was done with Phase 1...but those are my only slips and I'm feeling amazing!!! My food diary is open, so if you want to sneak a peek and give me advise/ideas please feel free!! I'm going to order some zip fizz today from Amazon - thanks!

Holy cow this board meeting is going to be a challenge. For the sake of not starving, I may have to eat an apple. We'll see.0

Well, if you have to ...you have to. Shoot, today was the first day I was really thinking about fruit. I am not sure I can make it to March 1.
Today's Menu:
B: eggs v8
S: green smoothie
L: veggie burger, sugar snap peas, celery, light baby bel
S: yogurt, almonds, sf maple syrup, Teavana salmon, asparagus HC fudge bar 0 -
I know, right? And seriously, if fruit is my "vice" lol.
In the end I found another stash of "snacks" at this board meeting: nuts! And I found a little market in the hotel, so I'll buy some string cheese. Dinner out tonight was vietnamese. I had a shrimp dish, minus the rice. I won't LOSE on this trip, but again, that's I'm I'm planning the extra few days. What kind of veggie burger did you end up with?0 -
I debated yesterday...cuz there is some grain in there and carrots...but in the end, went with it. Needed something fast for my late nights coming home during the week...and this is so easy. I had three left in the freezer but Costco had them on sale...so I bought another box...Don Lee Farms Organic Superfoods Veggie Patty. Pretty tasty. You can actually see the ingredients in the patty.
I did not give in to any fruit. How did you do yesterday?0 -
This is kinda fun: You know how they have the micro nutrients...well, I have one tab as sugar...and while MFP does not take into account naturally occurring sugar in milk and tomato (yes, we know...tomato is actually a fruit) and anything actually...I love seeing how low that number is at the end of the day.
My number has never been that low before and my body likes it.
I have 8 more days...before P2. Looking forward to strawberries.0 -
I love how my body feels on phase 1 as well.
I did well, no fruit yesterday. (I'm not entirely sure that fruit causes *me* cravings, but figure if I can be more phase 1 I will. I say "more" as I am having some wine. Although I plan to have none next week.)
I'll look for those veg patties. Thanks!

I cannot handle the green smoothie this morning*...at least I don't think I can...have a bit more time before I have to leave for work.
Wondering if I can swap have my smoothie about three...think that the zip fizz would interfere with sleeping, having it that late in the afternoon? I know u r at your conference...but you might see it in time.
*woke up at four and feel like crap right now0 -

I slept pretty lousy too. Hotel sleep always sucks.0 -

Nothing to write home about...lost one pound...but...and this is huge, I feel so much better...and I am sleeping...and I am learning to go to sleep without stuffing my face to fall asleep. I am thrilled with those achievements more so than weight...honest. Especially the sleep one...that is huge for me.
thanks so much Sabine for the incentive to reboot...very very excited!
