I'm new here and just back at Somersizing (I know there are a few here) and I really wanted to give tracking my meals a try. I started about 4 days ago (including today), so I'll be posting all four days!

Lunch: 2 fried eggs on crisp onion bed with 2 turkey sausages, 2 bacon and one tomatoe.
D: cobb salad (sliced roast chicken breast (1/2), 1 boiled egg, 1 strip of bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, radish, onion, cucumber). Dressing (mayonaise, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper).
Day 2
B: Fruit (rasberries, grapefruit), decaf coffee
1 hour later: 4 turkey sausages, 2 scrambled eggs with Brie, sliced tomato
L: 2 roll-ups - proscuitta, slice of provolone, fresh spinach leaves, red pepper
D: whole grain pasta, tomato sauce (home-made - NF), kale and broccoli steamed in NF chicken broth, slice of whole grain bread).
S: NF yogurt
Day 3
B: Fruit (rasberries, grapefruit, decaf coffee)
20 minutes later: whole grain toast, NF cottage cheese, tomato slices)
L: chicken salad (mayo, dry mustard, lemon) wrapped in romaine lettuce
D: ground turkey meatballs (onion, garlic, mushrooms, egg) fried in olive oil. Salad (romaine, radish, zuchinni, parmesan) and faux potatoes (cauliflower)
Dessert: One slice of Level one cheescake
Day 4
B: Fruit, decaf
1 hour later: leftover turkey meatball stir fried with broccoli and mushrooms, and a hard boiled egg
L: Tossed salad (olive oil, balsamic vinegar), 2 roll-ups (proscuitto, provolone, spinach leaves, red pepper)
Will be having:

Dessert: one slice cheesecake
Phew! |

Thanks Foxye!
Apart from the labour of preparing and cooking the meals this is SUCH an easy way to eat. I feel like I am indulging all the time, and yet I don't feel bloated or tired after I eat. |

July 5
Breakfast - 1/2 melon
Lunch: mixed green salad with boiled egg, 3 pieces of bacon, feta, tomatoe with balsamic dressing, and side of leftover broccoli/cauliflower and sauted mushrooms.
Dessert: 1/2 cheesecake slice
S: orange
D: grilled salmon, zuchinni hashbrowns (first try!), mixed green salad with dressing.
I have to say the most difficulty I've had this week is not indulging in alcohol. The few get togethers I had with friends at home or at the bar I stuck to club soda with lime. I really really really wanted a glass of wine or a cold beer but I stuck to my guns! It was good to have the club soda with lime because it was refreshing and I felt like I was indulging in a little treat at least (apart from the norm of water or decaf coffee),
Just wanted to add that I feel fortunate that I've never been much of a soda or juice drinker. Mostly water and coffee, but with my greatest downfall being the liquor. |

Good for you Lissa! The alcohol will really slow you down. Keep up the good work!

Well ... July 8th I had a bit of a cheat. I wasn't at all hungry at dinner and so didn't eat but had (bowing head) 3 glasses of red wine with friends instead.
I was SHOCKED to wake up this morning to discover that I have lost 3 pounds. Yay!
July 9th menu:
B: 1/2 melon
L: stuffed portabella, mixed salad _________________

Last night at the wedding .... I had a couple of glasses of wine ... but I completely ate within my rules otherwise. It was a buffet so I ate a generous portion of turkey, salad and roasted vegetables. No dessert. _________________
