My 22 yr old wants to follow the plan (or at least attempt to) - so she asked me to take her to the grocery store. $150.00 later and I am back home. . . Gee, why do I do some of the things I do?
Hooray!
*I ask myself the same thing, a lot.
Before I left, I cooked four turkey patties to have for when we returned. As I was bringing the groceries in from the car, DH informed me that the supper I had prepared was no longer there. My dog managed to jump up on the snack bar, and eat the patties (all four of them) straight from the skillet. UGH!
Oh no! We're they hot? sorry about your dinner,what'd you end up doing instead?
The foods I've been eating are all acceptable foods, however they haven't been what I would really call a meal.
I totally agree with you on this. I find myself snacking and eating more frequently than anything. Does that make sense?
some of my quick favorites: nonfat plain yogurt (yuck!) flavored with a sprinkling of sugar free strawberry jello.
I bought a small container of plain yogurt and sugar free jello mix b/c you mentioned it.
I tried it yesterday after I got home, not super thrilled about it,but it was different.
sauteed zucchini or squash, mushrooms, maybe even onions, a little cut up turkey sausage and add beaten eggs. I don't try to make an omelet, but just stir it up and eat.
Love Scramlets, that's what we call them at our house. I like putting fresh salsa on top. Pico de gio mixed in would be yummy too.
Last night I made tunafish with a little mayo and boiled eggs and added cut up cherry tomatoes and diced cucumbers. It was filling.
I've got to try that even though I'd be the only one eating it, sounds yummy
Just finishing up week one and the scales show I've lost 5 lbs. My scales aren't the nice digital ones-makes it hard to tell anything between a 0 and 5 on those scales.
How was your first week?
Do you have any good food choices for me?
Congrats on the 5 lbs
. I don't have a digital scale either.
How's your headaches and nausea? Are you feeling better?
My first week? I haven't budged on the scale, but I can tell a difference in my shorts around the waist. I'm still at the 7lbs down mark. I don't think I can go back to eating noodles (of course in time who knows), but I had some noodles at TGI Fridays (when my husband discovered I was on a diet b/c I told him no steak for me). I was up most of the night wallowing with tummy pains (gas) and frequented the restroom more than usual.
I completely understand about going out to eat. I tried picking the best thing on the menu, but its not like you can ask for all the components of the meal alacarte or the sauce on the side.
I had chicken, shrimp, fettuccine noodles, and a white sauce with a glass of water.
I like eating cottage cheese with sliced tomatoes on top; sauteying veggies is awesome, I like to do that too; low fat string cheese; stripped down chef salad; fish- love it when I can get it; grilled chicken breast; I haven't had a BLT in a while, I just need turkey bacon. I love the 7 layer chicken salad so hope to make that soon with lite mayo and no peas. If I have a burger, I'll eat the meat only. Veggies seem to be my favorite to eat and its one category of food item my kids won't fight me over.
I hope you are having a great day
The search continues for other SBDers out there
I'm considering trying the SBD, but am looking for tips and suggestions from you veterans. What worked well or didn't work well for you? I'm a busy mom who's eating habits are getting worse. I eat too many fillers ( such as popcorn), drink sodas (diets), and my timing for eating is off. I do exercise outside of doing mom duties, but my weight is still sticking. I look forward to catching up on this thread and reading new posts. 
If more would post, that'd be awesome too (hint, hint ya'll) .
and a sliver of cake yesterday 
and I can say bye, bye to phase one tomorrow.
