Its a NEW day (follow-up)

Good morning all - I made it thru the 3 day detox - what an eyeopener to see how far off track I had fallen! The grazing was the hardest part to break! It was not fun, let me tell you - but I stuck it out and was determined to make it to Monday - now my clean eating begins. Im going to share my proposed food menu for today: B- 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1 apple S- protein shake (27 g protein) L-small chili S-protein shake (27 g protein) D-1 filet fish, 1/2 veggies S-protein shake (27 g protein) Supplements & water Any suggestions? Comments? Thank you for any input you have the time to share. I am so thankful for all of you being here for me, you have no idea how helpful it is to me to know that I have all this support online! Have a great week - and please know how much I appreciate each and every one of you! deb

What kind of protein shake do you drink? I am looking for one that taste good but not too high in calories. Hard to find a good one. Melissa

Hi Melissa - you have email. deb

I am so proud of you. I try everyday to start new & then someone open candy/ cookies/cakes. My office is Hell. I am even truly thinking about changing jobs because thyer is sooo much sugar here every day and they wont respect That I can avoid it...they set it 2 feet from my desk & not in hte kitchen where I think It should go Keep up the good work Diana

Hey Diana ... too bad you can't just take it and keep throwing it away (it helps to sma**** all up first ) ... maybe they'd get the message eventually! Karyn

Wow Deb, thats awesome! I am so proud for you. I know those three days must have been very hard, but Im glad you made it through it. Looks like you are definately back on track, good for you! Candy

Hey Deb...You have a great plan for getting and staying on track. It is hard and each and every day I have to make a new committment to do the same thing.

Congrats Deb~Looks Great! Some days can be hard, but it sounds like you're back on a good track! Tracy B 328/150 5'9"

I just went through this too. i was so bad about the carbs that i had to do something. i went from my lowest 139 all the way up to 160. i just decided one day to cut it all out and did the plateau buster diet to detox my body of the carbs and it's been about 2 weeks i think now. i'm down to 152 and i'm not really missing the carbs. i have been snacking on things like boiled eggs, cheese, jello, yogurt or almonds. this seems to be working for me. my calorie count has dropped from about 1700 to about 1300 and i feel like i'm eating a lot. i'll share with you what i've been eating and it seems to be working and i stay full all day. my blood sugar seems to be staying level now also without all the carbs. PreB (before workout) -boiled egg B-protein bar S(before workout #2)-string cheese w/a little peanut butter L-tuna S-jello w/plain yogurt &almonds (i eat almonds a couple times a day but i only take in one serving through the whole day. i take a can and divide it up into baggies and have one per day) D-usually 3-4 oz chicken jello w/plain yogurt and almonds S-protein bar i've also started changing my workout video/routine daily so my body doesn't get used to anything. and every now and then if i'm low on calories i'll add a shake but not too often.
