I'm doing good, I feel good and my clothes are looser. I went grocery shopping today and when I walked by the bread isle (mind you, I walked BY it, not DOWN it) I could smell the bread... Now this is wierd because it wasn't bakery bread, it was just regular bagged bread and english muffins, etc... I took a deep breath and said, "One more week. One more week."... This really surprised me because I never really have been a big bread eater... I prefer wraps to sandwiches anyday, although I do enjoy a whole wheat roll or pita once in a while with my salad. I think I'm going to read the P2 section of the book now to prepare for next week when I go grocery shopping for the beginning of phase 2. I know I have to add in grains and fruits slowly but I need to pay closer attention to the recommended way to reintroduce them...

Hi Jos!

I noticed that you and I are in about the same place, so I thought that I would say hi I am on day 4 of Phase 2 and eating one fruit and one starch daily. So excited to be in Phase 2 and have fruit again! It's kind of fun to plan the meals and decide where to best place each new addition....like...do I want a WW bagel for breakfast or would it mean more to have WW penne with chicken for dinner? What new veggies or ways of cooking veggies can I find? How should I use those leftovers? You seem to have a great meal plan and you seem to stick to it really well. I applaud you!

Somehow I managed to not eat a veggie last night, and eat too much pasta I'm running 4 miles tonight though, so maybe the extra carbs from the ww pasta will help out in the energy department, let's hope so!!!

D: sf popsicle

Okay, I ate some junkfood today. Not a lot by any means, but I did it... I'm not going to beat myself up about it, it wasn't too bad, (and the almonds provided some extra protein so I think it's kept me from having that "I NEED MORE SUGAR/FOOD NOW" feeling...) I'm giving the thumbs up to jordan almonds for a real sweet fix. They really did the trick for me today!
