New Meal - High Fiber / Good Protein (3/2)

This morning I had a Wrap for breakfast.  I need to go food shopping and had to make due with the food I had in the house.  This was my mmm meal:


Mission Fiber Burrito Wrap (0/2) + 21g Fiber + 8g Protein
Chicken Salad - Mayo and Chicken
Baby Spinach
Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

And my Probiotic pill.

Also 24-oz of water sipped slowly during the meal and after.

Since I had the sugars to spare, I had my VitaCraves multivit (3/0).


By the way, last night I was craving cheesecake but instead had some cream cheese on a celery stick.  It satisfied the cheese and the crunch and was decent replacement.

ThinkThin Protein Bags





Has anyone tried these?


A friend recommended them and they are in line with the "Protein Priority" but are a 0/2 for a full bar with 20g of Protein.

Below is a link the the item found at Amazon.com:  (I joined the Prime Membership to get free shipping on all orders - it's an annual fee of $79 but you get 2-day shipping for free on all Prime marked items, which includes many of the hard to find food products on our program.

My Priority is Protein

Listening to the class today I figured I'd take notes here to help me review...

Tips for eating out:
  • Make PROTEIN and healthy fats the PRIORITY.
  • Skip the bun / Skip the sauces -- I can do that!
  • Make smart beverage choices (Water)
  • Avoid fruit-based sauces
  • Skip the fruit
  • Realize you are in control - make smart substitutions and don't be afraid to ask.
Bring your own snacks for travel:
  • Walnuts / Cheese / Hard-boiled Egg

Night Snack:
  • Cucumber - to satisfy the need for Crunch

Losing inches but not lbs?


I am noticing that my waist is shrinking but I am not losing much weight. I lost 10 lbs in the 1st 2 weeks but then minimal 0-1 then next few weeks. However, I am not entirely discouraged because my waist is shrinking (down 2 inches off my belly). People are noticing and that is exciting to talk about the diet.
I am hitting the high fiber mark daily and taking a probiotic, and having a big salad almost daily which helps I think. I am struggling to drink the water. It was suggested I sip thru out the day instead of guzzle it but I find that hard to do.

Down a Pant Size - Woo Hoo

This morning I decided to try on an older pair of pants as my jeans have been loose lately.  They fit well, not even tight.  Woo Hoo.  I am not noticing a weight loss (from the scale) but this shows that at least I'm losing inches.  I haven't fit into these in over 2 years.  WooHoo.
