S- celery with laughing cow
L- Turkey roll ups
S- handful of nuts
D- not sure yet

Exercise for the day- Boot Camp DVD (first time!)

I'm off to run errands....I hope you all have a great day!

Doing pretty good today - even though I did have a low carb hot fudge sundae from that homemade ice cream place I am trying to stay away from. It was sooo goooddd!!! I'm also happy to report I'm down 1/2 pound from where I was this time last week. Maybe there will be an official loss in my future this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Up early for a Firm work out and am busy drinking my water (yuck) and enjoying this morning's snack of cottage cheese and fruit.

Ally - thanks girlie for getting us started!

5cats - Woohoo!! Congrats on being down 1.5 pounds!! Phase 1 always does the trick. I just love how we can slide back and forth between Phases when we need to.

Thanks Ally for getting us started!

Wow, one week down! Less lb here......

5cat on the 1.5, that's great! I checked out the B & B picture you posted, awesome! Looking good.

Lisa on the weight loss!

Hope everyone has a good day!

hi Ally

woohoo on the losses!! everyone is doing so great.

Yesterday I made an anjustment. I was in a hurry before my scrapbook class and needed something filling and legal to hold me til after class til dinner. I had cooked some extra chicken the other night to have, but I guess DH got into it. I didn't have anything. So even though I'm on P1, I made a bowl of oatmeal w. peanut butter. It was so good and so filling. I didn't really want dinner when it was time. I know I really should have waited one more week to have the oatmeal, but at least I picked something that would be legal next week.

The class also got me in later than usual for dinner, but I'm going back to not eating after 8.

Do any of you drink protein shakes? I love having them for breakfast, and I'm aware they are not "whole foods", but if I just have one for breakfast and eat whole foods the rest of the time will this mess everything up? I bought a humongous tub of Isopure Chocolate Protein Powder and I don't want to waste it! $$$$ There is no sugar in it either. Whadda ya'll think?

Hi guys, everyone is doing great! I found out last night that me and sf pudding is not a good thing. I ate the whole package. It wasn't too bad calorie wise - 200 for the milk and 30 a serving for the mix, but I just couldn't keep away!!!

5cats - I know Denise makes her own shakes. They sound delish, you should ask her for recipes

Lisa - yeaaaa! Another (half) pound gone. I get really sick of water too. Sometimes I have to add some flavor (a tablespoon of juice or a tiny bit of crystal light) just to get it down. MMMMM....lemon water actually sounds good.

Marva - thanks for reminding us it's *already* been a week! I can't believe it.

Shelf - good job with making good choices. I love old fashioned oats.

Hi to everyone else. I'm trying to plan a menu right now...
