Thanks! Having one serving bread today. Using the orowheat today. Prefer Ezekiel but the thin bun will make a great chicken burger Sammie! Tomorrow I will have the ak maks for lunch.
Keeping everything the same cept adding one bread serving this week.
I do love the pistachios. They take awhile to eat and are GOOD. I passed on them last night just to see if I could not be so much of a pig. Wasn't easy but I did it!
I just got back from the store and I got some sugarfree Popsicles and some sugar-free gum to help with those late-night munchies0 -

Up in time to peddle today...that's a good thing. Lunch was packed last night...breakfast is simple and easy and ready. Made chicken last night so all I have to do is the veggies for dinner...I just don't get why I am so tired after work. That is really what I am working on...aka trying to not be such a slug AFTER work.
HAGDE! (have a great day everyone)0 -

Hello SBD friends! I am just starting Phase 2--lost 6lbs!
My plan today is to incorporate a carb or 2 and see what happens...I'm hoping for increased energy to work out! Any advice on foods to eat to feel energized would be greatly appreciated--Oh and no eggs. I do not like them. Makes breakfast a challenge.

my advice? Don't limit breakfast to traditional breakfast foods!roserobotham wrote: »Hello SBD friends! I am just starting Phase 2--lost 6lbs!

I eat peanut butter on ezekiel, i have PB in yogurt, I have left overs. I eat steak. I have chicken. Sometimes I skip breakfast.
If you're feeling low energy: add more beans. They are a God send. Some refried beans with melted cheddar would be a good breakfast.1 -
Welcome Rose! Happy you found us! Good job on the weight loss!0

Had an off day yesterday. Had slept only about 3 hours the night before and had a zillion errands and chores to do. After making good food choices all day, I blew it in the evening, when I was exhausted; I ate everything in the house that wasn't nailed down. Oh, well, I'm not perfect, so I start again today and know I will make good choices. This is actually progress for me. In the past, I would have felt guilty today and maybe done some more binge eating. Now I know this was just 1 wrong turn, a momentary detour.
So, for today:
B: V8 juice, Bran Buds, skim milk, banana
L: clementine, egg white Swiss cheese (reduced fat) omelet, mixed vegetables
Snacks: apple/skim mozzarella stick; plain yogurt with clementine
Dinners: mixed green salad, broiled salmon, broccoli and cauliflower mix, mini whole wheat pita, Emerald 100-calorie pack of walnuts and almonds
Hope you all (my mindset is getting ready for GA) enjoy today.

Yesterday was goofy:

sn: jerky
lu: avocado, ham, nuts
sn: none
di: sirloin and green beans
de: chardonnay1 -
Silvergirl...I had a bad day too. Out of the blue. I have been depressed for awhile...but did not let it interfere with my eating...until last night. I over did the pistachios and the Julie's strawberry bars...I was looking at today and thinking I have one lone frozen TJs mac and cheese in the freezer...will have that.
BUT then read your post. Going into kitchen now and prepping my ak mak sammies for work with veggies and Bolthouse dressing...nectarine for dessert.
THANK YOU!
I do have to work...67 and need the paycheck to make ends meet. But also, I think it does help to keep me on a schedule. If I weren't working, I might just have stayed in bed all this time and gotten more depressed. I do wish I had some days off right now, but I don't ...have to deal with this.
Menu:
b: hb egg, juice
s: almonds, baby bel
l: same as yesterday, no watermelon, however
s: hb egg juice
d: chicken, apple sauce, asparagus, cauliflower
d: yogurt bar with almonds
AND then to bed. And wake up ready to go tomorrow. Need an attitude change by the weekend. Three good days in a row will help.0 -
Magic, I so know how easy it is to overdo pistachios ;-) . I've decided to give them up for a while till I lose some more weight. I'm now restricting my nuts to the Emerald 100-calorie packs--have a stash of them in the house and want to use them up before the move. Also, these individual packs create psychological limits I can live with. I'm looking forward to the move--then I can get ak maks too!
Hope today is a better day for you.

I do package the pistachios in 30 counts in baggies. Had two bags. Ugh
Won't even say how many bars are had.
Oh ok. 3 yogurt and one healthy choice
I do feel ok today. Back at it
Will change up after work routine today. Goal is to get more accomplished so I don't feel so depressed!
The right amount of good foods will sure help to make that happen!0 -
This is my juice...I found it on Amazon...was looking for something that would give me some energy without any stimulants. I do like it...take it in the morning. Think I will take one after work too.
One scoop with water in a 16 ounce bottle...shake shake shake ... drink and go. I love it in the morning...will see how it works in the afternoon.
I did get the greens one as well...ick on the taste!
Like the reds better.

I'm in steak mode.
Here's the deal: I made a huge thing in the crock pot that was super SB friendly, but I didn't love it. Hubs does. Or says he does. HA. It's now HIS.
I bought several grass fed sirloins 8oz each. I am eating 4oz a night.
So, today, odd again (I'm trying to transition back go early morning workouts):
br: miso soup, then a protein bar
sn: blueberries
lu: turkey (no nitrates) and cheese in a low carb wrap
sn: mushrooms
di: 4oz sirloin, and 2 cups of brussels with some butter. I cooked the steak in the cast iron skillet with a pad of butter and some thyme. As it was finishing I nuked some baby brussels and then finished them in the skillet as well
de: my downfall...some chardonnay. YUM. I *may* have a square of dark chocolate later.1 -
Sounds Devine! So far so good tonight. I want to wake up tomorrow with a great day under my belt!
I have a couple sirloin steaks in the freezer. Maybe this weekend!1 -

Yesterday was challenging for me too. I just kept being hungry, but I think it was more boredom/anxiety than really hunger. Still, I stayed on program. It helped that I have a doctor appointment next week where I know I'll get weighed . I need all the motivation I can get, and the support I get from you guys has been invaluable.
So, today is another day, though some of the food will be familiar:
B: V8 juice, Bran Buds, skim milk, banana
L: clementine, spinach salad with lots of goodies
Snacks: pear/skim mozzarella stick; plain yogurt with clementine
Dinner: mixed green salad, turkey meatloaf with white beans and mushrooms, edamame, mini whole wheat pita, Emerald 100-calorie pack of walnuts and almonds
Thanks again, guys!0 -
Morning, Gals!
Hope today is a good day for all of us...I go in a bit late today...working a ten hour shift (10 - 8pm) , however, to cover a gal on vacation. Vacation? WHAT IS THAT?
(Problem is I woke up my normal time...5...at least I did not wake up at 4, which I sometimes do.) 
b: egg white om, miracle reds
l: ham (columbus smoked applewood) sammie on 100 cal orowheat, mustard, nectarine
s: organic mozza stick (Stringles), 15 almonds
d: veggie stir fry with chicken and odon noodles
d: yogurt bar 15 grams almonds
THE END!0 -
Hi, folks. Hope all is going well with you. It is sweltering in NY (real feel 105-110) for the umpteenth day in a row. Not typical NY weather, even for August. I've been staying inside as much as possible since I have asthma, so no long walks in the park.
I've been pretty good about staying on Phase 2, so I was kind of bummed when I got the results of my bloodwork back. I got onto SB in March because my last bloodwork in Feb. showed I was prediabetic. Last week's bloodwork showed exactly the same numbers, though my cholesterol was down . And, of course, my weight is down. I'm seeing my doctor later this week, so I'll talk to him about it. I'm still planning to stay on SB, but I was hoping better eating would lower my diabetes risk.
Anyway, yesterday was a really good day for me in terms of eating; I expect the same today:
B: V8 juice, Bran Buds, skim milk, banana
L: apple, spinach salad with lots of goodies
Snacks: pear/skim mozzarella stick; plain yogurt with clementine
Dinner: mixed green salad, herb-breaded turkey cutlets with mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower, mini whole wheat pita, Emerald 100-calorie pack of walnuts and almonds

Yesterday, final:
Br: V8 juice, a protein bar
lu: salmon with spinach
sn: popcorn
di: salmon with spinach and anchovies
de: chardonnay
today's plan:
Br: V8 and a protein bar
lu: turkey and cheese in a low carb wrap
sn: blue berries and string cheese
di: mapo tofu0 -
Silvergirl, discouraging, yes, but do not get too too bummed. Let the doc go over the numbers with you...explain what you have been doing. And maybe run the test again. Perhaps you had something that spiked the numbers? You are doing great...you should be proud of yourself!
Sorry bout the heat...hang in there...cooler temps around the corner.
Today's Plan...
whole wheat waffles, miracle reds
ham sammie on whole wheat, nectarine
macro greens
taco salad with one ounce of baked blue corn chips
healthy choice bar with 15 grams walnuts
Back to work Monday. Managed to pedal today. Had a horrible day on Saturday. Turned it around yesterday. I do like the miracle reds and macro greens. I think I will stick with them for awhile ... I think they are helping to reign in the over eating part of my plan.
Anyway, it's worth a try.
Have a good day ladies. Time to hit the shower.0 -

Give it time. It will go down! My colleague had the same numbers for six months or so. After he lost about 30 LBS (on SB) his numbers went down.0 -
Thanks, folks, for the moral support. I think I'm OK about the numbers today. I'm still doing what I'm supposed to be doing in terms of eating right on Phase 2, and I expect to continue. It feels good, and it is not too difficult to stay compliant.

B: V8 juice, Bran Buds, skim milk, banana
