Wow Cindy that's quite the menu. Do you have a personal chef? I find I spend alot of time in the kitchen, but o'well it's worth it to look and feel good!!

No I fix everythign myself.

I get a lot of already cooked convience foods. And I have been trying to loose this last bit of weight a long time so I have become an expert at planning.

At walmart I can get already cooked frozen chicken breasts from a company called pilgrims pride and each breast is only 110 calories (2 WW points).

Plus I got farmland hamsteaks that are already cooked and you just have to warm them up.

I also get those already cooked whole chickens that you just heat up and at supper no one really wants the dark meat so I pull that off and throw in the freezer and after a couple of chickens I have enough for some chicken chili or something.

Eggs are no big deal to fix and I fix my 2nd breakfast at 4:00 in the morning when I fix my first and just put in a small pyrex pan that I can throw some cheese on and pop in the microwave mid morning at work.

I keep a stash of frozen veggies chicken at work and bring stuff with me each day so that is a big help. (I have access to a kitchen, microwafe, fridge at work)

There is just the 2 of at home us so my suppers last for 2 days each.

About the biggest pain in the rear to fix is salmon. My husband will not eat it so I can not fix for supper, and I don't like to make a big production going to the kitchen to cook on the stove at work at noon so lots of times I will have a salmon filet for my first breakfast. I get them at walmart in the frozen sea food section and they are in nice individually packaged serving sizes that I just have to thaw and cook.

Well that is about all the quick I ideas I can think of now.

How are you feeling? Is your headache gone yet?

I am feeling much better. Thanks for asking.

I don't seem to have a headache and the energy to work out came back around wednsday.

NOt happy with the scale not moving, but I have not been honest with myself about the amount of nuts I have been eating, and I was eating 1/2 can of beans a day in the hopes of keeping my colon working correctly but I think I will limit the nuts to just once or twice a day and have green veggies instead of beans and see how things go with that.

I have heard that before, that some people who aren't loosing pounds are eating lots of nuts.You are probably right. I am trying to limit my nuts to a snack for like every other day. And when I do, I portion them, putting them in a plastic baggie so I don't over indulge. It is so easy to do with nuts.
I'm so glad that you are feeling better! I know how you felt, it wasn't fun.

Phase I Day 11 - Saturday

My scales were back down to 141 this morning and I am sure happy about that. It must have been too many carbs with the half can of kidney beans I was getting daily.

Snack @ 5 am:
10 Almonds
1 slice kraft ff cheese

Then did some housework and had to do lots extra because I gimped up my hardwood floors by using some orange glow wood cleaner polisher. I did not read the back of the bottle until my whole kitchen was a greasy mess that it is not for floors. Had a heck of a time getting that stuff off and ended up going to the floor store where we got the floors last winter and getting some cleaner--they look much better but I can still see some spots where it is not all off. By next saturdays cleaning it should be fine though.
