Let's be honest; I've been closer to Phase 2 than Phase 1 for a couple of days now. Shame on me. However, since Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet is designed for people who have more than 10 pounds and have sugar cravings...I think it's okay. Most of the cravings are, interestingly, very controllable. So, we're just gonna say, "Phase 2".
Breakfast: Protein shake with water and 1/2 c Almond Dream, unsweetened.
Snack: 2 Protein bars--cinnamon flavored made with vanilla protein, pinto beans, an egg, and sugar substitute.
Lunch: After an open air market, we stopped at Jimmy Johns and got sandwiches on 7 grain bread. I had a Big John. Though tasty, I think it kind of was a waste of 600+ calories. I felt like I needed a big long bike ride to earn all of that.
Snack: 2 more protein bars. And a spoonful of peanut butter.
Workout: 15.4 mile bike ride.
Dinner: Chicken breast baked in a little mayo/dijon mustard combo-found and altered from Skinnytaste.com 2/3 c green beans
With the exception of the bread at lunch, today was a very obedient day. myfitnesspal.com tells me that I'm way under my daily limit of everything but protein--of which I apparently am way over.
Not bad, though it could have been better, and only 2 servings of starch today. The bread. It was worth it, though. Yum.
Tomorrow is the big dinner day...so we're going to have to eat really light until then to make up for the extra calories, I think. I'll post all my recipes tomorrow.
