Week 4: Day 2

I'm feeling super annoyed because I have gained 2 pounds. I don't know why, I started exercising a few days ago and I gain weight? We will see what it does, maybe just a fluke. I'm pretty sure I could lose another 10 pounds. I'm thinking maybe too many nuts and high fat foods, and not enough veggies.

Breakfast:
1 cup oatmeal cooked, 1/2 apple, 1 date, 1/2 tbs walnuts, some blueberries

Lunch:
Chipotle burrito bowl, tofu and guacamole

Snack:
A pear
Some leftover baked beans and a few sweet potato chunks

Dinner:
Vegetable curry with coconut milk
Tiny bit brown rice

Week 4: Day 1

I've decided I need to seriously cut back on nuts. I'm going to make low fat salad dressings and try to make lower fat and less nut heavy dinners. I did better today.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal, apple, 1 tbs walnuts, 1 date

Lunch:
Large salad, beans, fat free dressing, veggies
Banana

Dinner:
Baked Beans
Roasted sweet potatoes
1/2 lb steamed kale

Dessert:
Chocolate cherry ice cream

Week 3: Day 7

Almost half way there! I'm doing pretty well, enjoying the food, feeling full and satisfied most of the time.

Breakfast:
Early, I had a banana with a little almond butter before I did Cycling for an hour at the gym.
After that, I had oatmeal with 1/2 an apple, a date and a sprinkle of walnuts.

Lunch:
Went to a birthday party for the kids around noon, I just ate a few grapes while there.
Once home, I had a huge salad with cucumber slices, grape tomatoes, red onion, chickpeas and tahini dressing. And 1 orange for dessert.

Dinner:
Oh so good cauliflower pizza crust, made with cauliflower, flax, almond flour and water.
Topped with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion and cashew cheese.

* I think that was a pretty nut heavy day when I look at it all. I think I will try to cut back to 1 oz if I can, but when I do cycling I get so hungry during the day!

Breakfast:

Week 3: Day 3

Last day of traveling! I can't believe I was able to primarily stick to Dr. Furhman's Eat To Live plan during a week of travel and holiday food all around me. I will be more strict once I'm home, such as no wine, only 1 cup starchy foods, limit nuts to 1 oz and be more careful about sugar. And mostly focus on getting about 1 lb of both raw and cooked veggies.

Breakfast:
Starbucks blueberry oatmeal with nuts

Snack:
Little fruit smoothie, some peanuts and sunflower seeds

Lunch:
Panera- large classic salad and cup of black bean soup

Snack:
Apples from Panera

Dinner:
Chipotle bowl again, only ate around 1/2
Tea for dessert
