Hi,

I have just started the SB diet and found this great website. I think journaling will be a great help. I really liked reading what others ate for the day, especially since this is new to me.

Yesterday:


Breakfast: scrambled egg w/mushrooms and spinach

Lunch: on the road day--had taco salad from Taco Bell but not the shell and few beans. Had extra salsa instead of sour cream.

Supper: on the road still--hubby wanted to go to Captain D's--I thought "oh no!!" walked in and wonder of wonders!! low carb dinners w/chicken or fish!! had the chicken, it was great!!! came with steamed broccoli and assorted steamed veggies--gave hubby the carrots, but had green beans and summer squash and also came with a salad.

I just might be able to do this!!

Welcome to the journals, Shelby!

It's good to see you here. Thanks for the heads up on the Captain D's naked fish and chicken. I'll have to check that out. It looks like you're off to a good start, especially since you're trying to do this from the road.

I think you CAN do this!

Yesterday went pretty well-except for breakfast
????: South Beach Diet Forums http://www.southbeachdietbulletinboard.com/journal-your-way-thin/307-shelbys-journal.html

Had Egg mcmuffin w/no muffin but wow lots of grease

Salad for lunch w/olives, tomatoes, lots of veggies--confused about the dressing--low fat has sugar, reg has fat--which way to go?? went w/ reg ranch but thinking now should have done oil & vinegar--maybe I need to make my own?? Sure didn't look like olive oil on the salad bar.

Supper-had chicken breast stuffed w/a little LF ricotta and spinach and herbs also brussel sprouts yummmmmmmm.....

This a.m. I made scrambled eggs and wrapped them in a LF ham slice as burrito to eat on the run.

Lunch will be challenge-I brought mine to work but everyone else wants to go out. I am going to need to make a list of appropriate choices for restaurants since I am on the run so much.

Glad I have the support here. Hope we all have a great start to the week!

Isn't it amazing how few healthy choices there are out in restaurants! You are doing so well considering your very limited options!

How is your day going, Shelby?

Well, had a bad spell. Monday lunch I was good and ate my lunch from home: baked chicken breast and brussel sprouts but I forgot about my 2:00 p.m. snack-(mistake #1). Got home at 4:00 p.m. and instead of fixing my dinner, I had a snack (mistake #2). Left for appointment at 6:00 and didn't eat before I left because I wasn't hungry from snack (mistake #3). Of course when I was done w/appointment I was STARVING and we ended up at McD's were I had convinced myself I would have a salad.......but somehow I ended up w/Quarter Pounder w/ cheese & fries...agggghhhhh! Then I felt ickky all night! But yesterday I did well, even tho I was on the road again. Co-workers & I went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch--they have a nice salad bar. Had spring greens mix salad w/black beans & some other veggies w/olive oil & balsamic vinegar, grilled chicken breast & mushrooms. For supper I had a SB frozen dinner-pork & pecans w/green beans and for dessert I had a cup of skim milk. For breakfast this a.m. I had asparagus and boiled eggs w/mock hollandaise sauce from the SB book--it was really good! SO I am back on track and I also got on the scale this a.m. down 2.5 lbs!!!!!:joy: Hope you all have a good day!

Know what Shelby? Just the fact that you know what the mistakes were that led up to the binge is so great! It means you have the blueprint down to be successful on this way of eating.

Congratulations to getting back on track! :Hug2:

That was hardly a binge by my defination. LOL Hey, I can show you a REAL binge! :hide:

Congrats on the 2.5 pounds lost! :joy:

Hello,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I only have email at work and was out of the office yesterday so didn't get to post till today. Things are going ok and even tho I have had some rough spots, I have made it thru the week and on to week 2. Excited about the fact that I seem to be able to stick w/this better than other diets I have been on. Doesn't feel like much of a diet sometimes! And my craving for potatoes seems to be decreasing! WHo would have thought???? Hope you all have a good week!
