It's Wednesday! What are you eating?

[synger]

Up day for me.

Started with cottage cheese, toast with Irish butter, and coffee w/cream.

[alibaba]

DD for me. The plan is to have 3 designer whey shakes with almond milk (135 cals each) and a can of green beans for my snack (60 cals). Should be about 465 cals for the day.

[stardustshadow]

DD...

soy yogurt (100 cals breakfast)
'lunch' of a plum and a slice of cheese
snack- a 100 cal sugar free bar

Then it will be 2 eggs for dinner later on.

Since it is my first day, I MIGHT (if needed) allow myself an extra 100 cals if I starve tonight.

We'll see!!

UD for me too, and you just reminded me to go put cream in this coffee! (normally drink it black)

I have no idea what I'm going to eat yet.

[avecrain]

DD!

Soon: Coffee w/half and half. I did this for the first time last DD after seeing it on a lot of you guys's meal plans (I'm not a regular coffee drinker), and it was so great! Not hungry for so long! (22 cals)

Whenever I get hungry: 1 pickle, cut into 4 spears. 4 slices of deli turkey breast. (75 cals)

Last meal: Can of tuna, 2 cups spinach, 2 large carrots, red pepper? cuke?, balsamic vinegar (250 cals)

After I go for my long walk, I'll have either a hard boiled egg (78) or a Clif Z-bar (130)

Total: 425/477
My limit is 504, not including working out, so I'll probably chomp on a few veggies at some point if I need to.

UD for me too, but all I have had is Godiva pumpkin spice coffee. Just not all that hungry for what I have in the fridge.

Down a pound today to 161! Not much but I am just happy to be moving down!

Going to have a sandwich today... with bread!

Down a pound, having a real sandwich with real bread - WHOO HOO!

[sophiethecat]

Lunch time, I was really hungry, so on my way to Walmart, I went to McDonalds. Got the #1 Value Meal - my first Big Mac in months! Apparently they are calling the large carton of fries that comes with it a medium now, and you have to pay extra to get the large. But whoo-ee that's more than enough fries as it is! I could only eat half of them. Ate them with a couple packets of ketchup. Had a diet Coke since I didn't want anymore hfcs than I was already getting.

Anyway, according to ******, I'm at about 990 calories so far.

While I was at the store, I stocked up on Russell Stover's Sugar Free candy, some more protein bars, and bought generic Egg Beaters (these are actually lower calorie than the plain egg whites I bought before).

[LuvLatte]

DD:

B: coffee w FF HH, steamed cauliflower (55 cals)
L: miso soup, miracle noodles, shirataki noodles, one egg (175 cals) - may leave out the egg if not too hungry
S: celery with laughing cow (47 cals)
D: Chinese steamed bun with pork and veggies (260 cals)

Total is 537.

[sophiethecat]

Holy cow I was so hungry again just four hours after the Big Mac and half container of fries, that I heated up some of my homemade pizza I made yesterday and saved for today, my UD. It's a thick crust with mostly veggies, and I had about an oz. of sour cream n onion potato chips with it, then followed that with the rest of the container (about a cup and a half!) of whole milk yogurt with a chopped up pear in it and 2 teaspoons sugar free strawberry jam stirred in.

And am I ever full, I shouldn't have finished the yogurt, it was too much. Man oh man, I feel like a pig at the trough! I'm pretty much at my calorie limit now, maybe a couple hundred calories left.

[betty301]

My first day was a DD and it went well.

12pm- turkey meatballs
6 oz of baby carrots(steamed)

230pm- 6 large hardboiled eggwhites
1 cup frozen strawberries

6pm- chicken
2 cups broccoli

551cals

I'll have a protein shake if I'm absolutely famished before bed. So between 550-700 seems like a good place to start for DDs!

[Debrat3]

UP day for me I started off with 2 mugs of coffee and 2TBS of half n half in each cup. YUM
I had sushi for lunch and I have NO IDEA how to count them calories. I asked at the sushi place if they had a calorie count of their rolls and of coarse not. I guess I will try to google sushi and see If I can get close.

[Joedi]

Well, I didn't have the sandwich after all.... I had a burrito!!! It was a really good, not too big, bean, rice, cheese, guacamole burrito(which was mostly rice, but tasty)

I will keep it simple for the rest of the day...

[Bicoaster69]

Well I'm still sick but decided to slowly get back into the swing of Juddd...lost the 1b I gained so back to my 2lb loss for my first week of Juddd. I still have this horrible cough and got some cough syrup with codine from urgent care. I think I will make this a DD because I'm not that hungry. Slept all day and just had "breakfast" at 3pm! Some weight control oatmeal...it was warm and soft so it was great for my throat...later I'm thinking of having some eggbeaters with a FF hebrew national hotdog and diced onions scrambled with it. Boy do I wish I had some miracle noodles and chicken broth to make a soup for myself...

[Mommie22boys]

DD for me today...

B: coffee w/ h&h (39)
L: large lettuce salad w/ chopped grape tomatoes and SF raspberry vinaigrette, tuna packet mixed w/ 2T lite miracle whip and some seasonings (182)
S: 1/2 cookie (90)
D: garlic herb chicken breast w/ FF cheese on top and sour cream/salsa for dipping (197)

That brings me to a shade over 500...but I can't seem to stop sampling the very nommy dinner I made for the fam (garlic-Parmesan chicken & bowties w/ fresh tomatoes)...prolly another 100 calories extra?? I'm sitting somewhere in the 650 range or so.

Gonna plan tomorrow's UD out tonight...all 1800 calories...so I'm not stuck at 4pm with another 1000 still to go.

[Joedi]

but I can't seem to stop sampling the very nommy dinner I made for the fam (garlic-Parmesan chicken & bowties w/ fresh tomatoes)...

Ikwym! It IS so hard to fix a tasty family meal on a DD! I had sausages, veggies and spices cooking in the slow cooker all day for my family's dinner....far too high cal for a DD...and the smell was a constant torment!

Yep, guess I'm really testing the theory of a full calorie JUDDD UD today! It's especially risky since I'm already up about 5# of water weight. The scales will tell the full tale tomorrow. Today I just had to ask myself... (in a gruff, husky voice) do you feel lucky?

Seriously, I was just so hungry today. On UD's, I've been going for 1800 calories so far, and that's where I am exactly at this moment as I sip a glass of merlot. *evil laugh*

Really, I've only had one glass, guess I'm just in a goof-ball mood this evening

Those BLTs are sneaky!!!

Well, I haven't had anymore hunger since about 4 p.m. so I guess I did need all that food today! Pretty much all of it was eaten in about a 4 hour window. Wow, Big Mac, french fries, pizza, wine.... yeah this really feels like a diet!

I'll be ready for a quiet DD tomorrow.

And now you know WHY I love JUDDD! And I like the "goof ball" in you today!

[Bicoaster69]

Well the totals are in for my first day back on track. It was a DD but my count was about 100 more than I wanted but I'm okay with that...still trying to recoup so I will go back to my 575 totals for DD when I'm 100% again

B=Weight Control Oatmeal Packet 160 cals
S=1 cup apple slices 70cals
L=1 bag pop chips, cup of soup packet 140cals
s=1 slice oro light wheat, smeared with Better N Peanut Butter
Throat Coat tea with 1 tbsp Honey 140
D=Egg lite scrambled with diced onion & 1 FF hot dog 150 cals
2 cough drops 30 cals
TOTAL CALS =680

[LuvLatte]

Oh I just totally blew it! I felt so sick/hungry that I had an entire bag of light popcorn, which wasn't so bad. Then shopping at Costco and bringing home one of their rotisserie chicken, while starving, led to binging on the chicken. So much so that DH asked "today is your UD?" the I snacked on sweets,

Oh well, tomorrow is another day!

Had chili with spinach and tomatoes, topped with a dollop of sour cream for lunch. Had one Reese's Peanut Butter Cup as a treat (within my carb limit for a meal).

Then really wanted sweets, so got into my DH's candy stash. Usually he buys stuff he knows I don't like, so I'm not tempted, but I put the candy away this time and saw the Milk Duds. *sigh* So ate WAY too much carb and calories on snacks.

Cheese snack before I went to DD's Girl Scout troop to sit on a panel of professional women to talk to the girls about our challenges and triumphs in the workplace.

Eggplant croquettes for late dinner. Yum! (Eggplant and onion nuked then mashed and drained, add a little oatmeal for body, lots of Italian spices, parmesan cheese, and a bit of egg, then pan-fried)

Over calories and over carbs, but still down a pound this morning. I think TOM may be a factor in the sugar binge.

JUDDD is a miracle-worker!!!

So little is asked of you on this "diet"!
