woo hoo! 2 days left! YES! So I'm still feeling really good - my IBS is very happy with me =o) - I haven't had a migraine in over a week (which is huge for me! I usually get them 3-4x/week!!) my tummy is super flat and I actually had to buy a belt! I'm hoping the scale will reflect at least 1 more lb on Sunday but we will see. I've accomplished a lot already and I'm very happy about it!
* DAY 13 *
Friday, November 13, 2009
Breakfast: 5.5oz can low sodium V-8 juice (bleh - not my cup of tea but at least I tried it)
*24 oz water with benefiber
Vegetable omelet with salsa
2 cups coffee with fat free creamer
Snack: None
* 24 oz water with crystal light
Lunch: Wendy's Side salad with 1/2 packet ranch dressing
1 sugar free jello
*24 oz water with crystal light
Snack: 5 turkey meatballs with 1 tbsp low sugar marinara sauce (Yum! these are by Jenny-o and heat up in the micro in 2 minutes! Awesome!)
Dinner: South beach Parmesan Chicken and Peppers* (yum!)
*24 oz water with crystal light
(Recipe: I buy pre-cut frozen chicken strips but you can buy fresh chicken breast and cut it into 1" thick strips. I also use frozen pepper strips but again you can buy fresh and cut them up. put all ingredients into a large skillet and mix in 1/2 cup Italian dressing (with 2g of sugar or less). Cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat. sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!)
Dessert: Pumpkin spice ricotta cream (again....YUM!)
hot peppermint tea with 2 sweet and low
Exercise: 30 minutes on the elliptical
Notes: Today is just about over and I haven't even had dinner yet! I skipped on my first snack because I ate a late breakfast but I made a mistake waiting so long for my second snack (4pm! I was starved!!! I'm good now though - my tummy is happy. I think the key when you are like that is to choose something with lots of protein or fiber (or both) eat some and drink lots of water and wait it out. One more day on Phase 1! =o)
* DAY 14 *
Saturday, November 14, 2009
Last day on Phase 1! Woo Hoo!

2 cups coffee with fat free creamer

*24 oz water with crystal light
Lunch: skipped lunch and ate a snack of sun flower seeds
*20 oz water with benefiber
Snack: 100 cal dark chocolate snack
diet hot chocolate with splash fat free creamer
(had a sudden chocolate craving! weird!)
Dinner: Spaghetti squash with marinara sauce and turkey meatballs
12oz diet sprite
*not too bad! poke squash with a fork several times and microwave on high for 12minutes. cut open, remove seeds, and scrape with a fork. a little crunchier then spaghetti lol but pretty good.
Dessert: Almond ricotta cream with slivered almonds (yum!)
*24oz crystal light
Exercise: none - took the night off
Notes: I'm super excited that today is my last day on phase 1! I'm going to head out and go food shopping today for my items during the week.
** OK so the results are in! **
Starting weight: 176.5
Current weight: 170.0
+ / - = - 6.5lbs
woo hoo! I did it! So I stuck to Phase 1 about 97% (slipped with a few popcorn/dark chocolate indulgences which are phase 2 items) but feel great! and I lost 6.5lbs! AND i started working out again which is really hard but feels really good. I'm super excited to see what the next 2 weeks of reintroducing carbs and fruits will bring. I've already started thinking ahead since Thanksgiving is going to be in my second week of phase 2; I've spoken to my boyfriends mom to see what they plan on making and have volunteered to bring a pumpkin pie (I have the South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays book which has a recipe for phase 2 pumpkin pie! - which I will post later) and a vegetable dish. So we will see.
I am really determined to get back to being comfortable again.
keep following along to see what happens!
