You are on the right path. I like how you already have your body talking to you about the 12″ vs 6″ sub!
looks great, very detailed
Friday, didn’t we have pizza for dinner before you left for cub scouts?
You are doing awesome…keep it going!
Looking good. I like the lack of snacking and alcohol – I find that to be key to my own weight control – too many snacks or brews and the weight ticks up without fail. Want a challenge? Sometime this week, replace a bread item with a non bread item of equivalent caloric value but containing more fat/protein. Half a sweet potato with 1 tsp butter at lunch …. a banana with 1 tsp peanut butter at breakfast …or this flax muffin at breakfast. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=868006 I’m a little biased since I discovered that bread makes me break out, but if you think about it, it’s just filler calories that lack nutrients but provide satiety and convenience.
Great idea….Gretchen is on the hunt for Flax Meal, as I want to try that muffin!
Found…we will try these soon!
Cool! Just noticed this recipe doesn’t call for cocoa powder – I usually put some in, and I prefer real sugar over splenda, just 1 tsp or so no big deal. Careful though, it’s sneaky how filling it can be so eat it slowly.
