So I’m going to just continue the journey and keep marking as I have been. (thanks for your help JB!) I figure even though I splurged on cookies a lot during the last month (and boy do I mean a lot!) I still kept losing and I didn’t really stray from the plan overall. It’s a lifestyle change. I still avoided most bread, I tried to cook low-fat and low-sugar, and having reset myself this weekend I don’t know that I will stay on Phase 1 all that long. Really I’m giving up the SB food supplements via Kraft for the week and returning to the faboo SF candy and string cheese. It’s great and I don’t want to lose that momentum.
Yesterday was great. Eggs for breakfast, cheese for snack, salad for lunch (with OG dressing which only has 2g of sugar – yay!) with jello for dessert, cheese for pm snack, and chili parmesan chicken for supper (which I altered and also made a garlic one – recipe below) with a little cool whip for dessert. I did have a Clementine around noon but such a small orange I don’t think will affect me much – plus I need the Vitamin C after being around sick people all weekend. I can’t get sick!
So, last night I baked up a bunch of chicken with this recipe:
¼ cup low-fat parmesan grated cheese (the green container, you know), divided in half
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Mix chili powder in one portion of cheese; Mix garlic powder in other half.
Coat chicken with choice of mixture.
Bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes or until cooked through.
I got this recipe off the Kraft SB website. It’s actually just the chili parmesan chicken recipe but I like garlic better. This is so good. It ends up being like breaded chicken but SO much better for you. It’s great hot or cut up cold for a salad (today’s lunch plan). YUM!
I didn’t go to the gym (no smiley) though I did do some crunches and push-ups to start preparing for February’s fit testing for guards. I feel bad I didn’t run, but I got so much prepared for the week – chicken cooked and cubed, jell-o made, grocery list made, a load of laundry done, dishes done, CL made for the day…it’s great. I usually do this all on Sunday nights, but that night I was exhausted from the weekend so it moved to Monday. But I feel prepared now. I’m really ready to get back into the swing of things. I can’t wait to run tonight. I’m actually looking forward to it. YAY!

i didn't read yesterday, sorry, but i agree with jb. whatever helps you is what you should do. thinking of it in terms of a continuation is helpful because it reminds you of how far you've come, so i think that's a good solution.
we, too, have re-committed ourselves, and it's going pretty well. the key is not to get hungry!
So your Moe!! I have gone to some of these other blogs and seen this myserious Moe and not been able to figure out who it was.
Don't worry you didn't come across as a hard-ass at all, and I hope what I wrote in the blog did not come across that way. It was actually fun to get back to the blog and update it. Thanks for checking it out.
