I wanted to start a fresh thread. I figure each of us is going to renew, reboot, recommit, or refresh for the new year. Myself included.
As with earlier, my food goals will correspond with fitness/health goals.

I plan to start anew with a reboot on Jan 1, after holiday travels with hubs. I'm sticking to my low glycemic roots, but am indulging a bit, and the wine is flowing....

Cheers and see you in 2017, hopefully with a few new members!

    Monday's Plan

    Breakfast. Scrambled eggs, avocado, corn salsa
    Lunch. Meat sauce with fresh spinach cooked in over bed of zucchini spiralized noodles
    Snack. Apple
    Dinner. Roasted turkey, chicken broth soup with carrot zoodles, onions, celery

    My zoodles are actually made with my Inspiralizer, Ali Maffucci. Bought the two books by Ali Maffucci...Inspiralize Everything and Inspiralize...bought everything from Amazon.

    PS. I am currently having an issue with the knob that turns the blades...feel that she has excellent customer service and will replace it.

    Got an early start and lost 4 lbs so far. Stepping into phase 2 a bit early. Vegetarian and phase one is zapping me of energy. Phase two gives me options, energy and a better chance at sticking with it! :)

    I hope you'll post your phase 2 eating plans. Hubs is a vegetarian. I'm not. I'd love to see more vegetarian inspiration!

    The new South Beach Diet has been advertised on tv...it's very Nutrisystem-esque. I just finished a big bowl of veggie rice soup with spinach added. No chicken. Too tired to stop and buy and cook.

    I finally stopped eating Amy's light and lean frozen. Pretty sure I am going to stay away from plunking down all that dough for frozen food program.

    Today's Plan is going to look like this:

    b hard boiled egg/Trader Joe's chile corn salsa mash with a side of avocado
    l veggie soup with rice and spinach
    s oranges
    d probably tilapia and inspiralized veggies
    d Healthy Choice fudge bar and peanut butter

    Feeling so much better since I made veggies the star of my day. Not sure how much I have lost...but honestly, being able to fly through my day feeling happy is more important. The feeling of well being is worth passing up all the goodies.

    Sounds good to me, Magic. Only I wish it weren't so much more work ;) .

    Today:

    Br: V8 juice, All-Bran Bran Buds, banana, blueberries, skim milk
    Lu: black bean soup, spinach salad with hard-boiled egg and clementine, 2 ak mak crackers
    Sn: pear/skim mozzarrella stick, yogurt/apple
    Di: green salad, salmon and vegetables TBD, whole wheat mini bagel, pistachios

    This may change, since I might be going out to eat for either lunch or dinner.

    I just saw an ad for the new frozen stuff. I haven't decided if I'll try it.

    Amy's is my go to frozen food, I always have a couple of burritos on stand by.

    Oh great. So what do you all think? Think this frozen South Beach might be something?

    I looked up the website...called...looked at the menu. I don't know. I tried Nutrisystem a couple times...always ended up giving the food away. I just think it's better to cook our own food...make it as easy as possible.

    I am going to stick with what I am doing. I lost 40 pounds on SB the first time around...went from 175 to 135. I am 147 today.

    Time to just do the work...prepare the meals and just do it.

    Today ended up like this:

    b hb eggs and corn salsa
    l I left it in the fridge.
    late after noon: added more spinach to my rice and veggie soup. split an apple with puppy dog.
    snack: hot chocolate made with water.
    snack: oranges
    dessert: peanut butter and HC fudge bar
