1 egg
1 onion rung
1 green pepper
2 sliced mushrooms
2 t. salsa
the usual coffee

Had a late breakfast and skipped the snack. Took the dogs to the park.

1 2x2 in. square of leftover pizza
2 c. salad w/ 1 oz. 2% cheese and some green pepper
salad dressing (didn't measure, was using up some already had)

[luv2bike]

I'm back to post the rest of my food.

Mid-afternoon snack:
2 oz. peanuts

Dinner:
4 ozs. turkey breast
1/2 c. low fat cottage cheese
3/4 c. green beans cooked with 2t. Smart Balance
1 diet coke

Dessert:
ff/sf fudge bar

This was a good day, but I ate too many peanuts. They're so good it's hard to stop at the recommended amount.

I'm tired and sleepy, so see ya later .... alligator!

Well, it's pretty much the same thing but a different day.

Breakfast:
2 eggs
2 oz. turkey sausage
2 T. salsa
1 c. coffee w/ sweetener and Coffee Mate

I didn't have a mid-morning snack. Wasn't hungry.

Lunch:
1 2x2 in. piece of leftover pizza
2 c. salad w/ 1 oz. shredded cheese and Ranch dressing
1 c. iced coffee

Well, I was a bad, bad girl. Instead of eating a good allowable mid-afternoon snack, I ate 2 pieces of sugar free candy. They're like little tootsie roll midgies and strawberry flavored. I've been thinking about fruit today. I can't wait to get this week over with so I can have an apple.

I think that I'll just clean up some leftovers for dinner tonight. I still have green beans, turkey, a Bocca cheeseburger and one more slice of pizza leftover. So, I'm going to see what I can come up with out of the leftovers.

And I have to work tonight. Blah! No, really I don't mind work but I know that when I get there my back is going to start hurting within the first hour. Eight more days until my epidural. Then I'll get some relief for a while.

Debbers! Where are you? I hope I don't have to come looking for you with the search dog. LOL

B-cheese omelet
S-Canadian Bacon
L-chicken breast and lettuce salad with tomatoes and 2T. Low carb ranch
S-none--literally running at work--UGGG!
D-Cheeseburger--probably not exactly in Phase one, but the best choice.
S-not sure i will eat one, my diet root beer is tasting pretty good, and I think i could fall asleep at any time. But, if i am hungry a ricotta dessert.

Luv, you got back on SB, so what happened yesterday is in the past. Just look forward to the future! Just a note, I have been on a very strict low carb for 5 weeks prior to this, so I have lost some weight already. Hit a BIG milestone for me today--40# lost! :Biker: So, needless to say I was happy happy today!
Lator Gators,
Debbers

Forty pounds!!!!! Debbers, that is awesome! You did that in just 6 weeks? Wow! I'm speechless. And that's hard to do to me.

Yesterday was alright. I wasn't exactly perfect, but hey, it beats going totally wild and crazy.

I still have NO idea where my scales are. I put them away when I was clearing out the diningroom and took all that stuff to the basement. I've got a ton of stuff from about 4 different houesholds down there. I can not find the box with my scales or the SBD book. I have a doctor's appointment on the 20th. and I'll tell how much I've lost then.

Since I didn't post my food yesterday and I didn't write it down, I probably won't remember all of it accurately anyway. So, I think I'll just skip writing yesterday's food down.

So, at work last night I ate my usual boring beef jerky and some cashews and a diet Pepsi. Beef jerky and nuts are just so easy to grab and throw in my backpack for work. If I ever get myself together I'll work on making a better lunch for work. But, for now, I don't mind the jerky and nuts.

Breakfast:
3 strips turkey bacon
1 lf mock danish
coffee w/ sweetener and ff half and half

no snack because I'm still pretty full

I'll finish posting later tonight ......

[luv2bike]

To finish out yesterday's food accounting, I had a big chef salad for lunch and went to bed. When I got up I just had a meat and cheese roll up with some cucumber and tomato wedges.

Then I went to work and had the usual nuts and I took some ff/sf plain yogurt that I flavored up with some Crystal Light pink lemonade.

And that brings us to today .....

Breakfast:
2 eggs
1t. Smart Balance
3 strips turkey bacon
1 sm. glass V-8
And I try to always have a serving of sf fiber like Metamucil. I haven't always listed it though.

1 diet cherry coke Zero

Mid-afternoon snack:
15 almonds

Dinner:
1 roasted chicken breast
3/4 c. green beans
1/2 c. black beans
1 glass ice tea w/ mango sf syrup

Dessert:
1/2 c. ricotta cheese with toasted marshmallow flavored s/f syrup

OK, I believe this concludes our two week phase one thread. Now it's onto phase two and i can hardly wait.

Debbers, why don't you go on down and start yourself a journal? We can visit each other in our journals and you can list your food there. Along with other stuff.

See you!!
