today starts my new WW week and I'm back on flex. I loved core, but I need some bread and I have lots going on this week so I'm not going to be able to plan ahead/eat at home as much as I'd need to w/Core.
B: coffee
L: sfff pudding (1), apple (1), 100 cal goldfish (2)
D: potbelly turkey sandwich (7)
E: non today casue I'm going to see a play straight from work, but y'all should be proud cause I actually got off my butt and did yoga last night!
B: kashi go lean cruch with blueberries L: ham sandwich (i'm so unoriginal) D: going out so I'm thinking I'm not going to do too well...
Choo, I guess I wasn't thinking that I could go back & forth between core & flex - it seems to be working for you though, huh? I may try it when I get back from Louisiana & my schedule is not so crazy. In that I have a hard enough time knowing what's ok - don't want to add food uncertainty to family weekend....I'll probably have enough stress!

yep, you can go back and forth as long as you do the whole week on one or the other (like I can't flex today and core tomorrow). I really like it- I lost a good amount of weight, feel healthier, and more satisfies. Plus, not having to count points is great! But it's definately best for weeks where you'll be home to cook or can eat at decent restaurants- you can't really do fast food at all on it.
I'm glad you liked it. I had the rest of it for lunch yesterday. How do you make your steamed spinach? I am trying to add spinach into my diet.-- Edited by Aurora at 13:38, 2006-03-22
I cheat, I use these...the Green Giant frozen sides. In fact, I eat one of the Green Giant vegetable sides almost every night for dinner and the spinach is probably my favorite. The Green Giant vegetable sides are about 1-2 servings. You can find them with the frozen food and they're usually about 3 for $5. Once you open the box the vegetables are in a plastic pouch. You boil the pouch of spinach (or whatever vegetable) for about 15 minutes or whatever time it says on the box. Then you cut open the pouch and drain the excess water and you have steamed spinach. I guess it's more like boiled spinach but it's good. I add a little salt, pepper, and butter because I usually get the one without low fat butter sauce but I've had both and they're both good. I just like to doctor it up myself. I've also steamed fresh spinach in the microwave. Most of the bags of spinach have directions on how to do it. IIRC you can basically put the spinach in a bowl with no water, cover and put in the microwave for about a minute then you can add whatever sauce you like. HTH!
those green giant things are really good! we like them too! we get fresh spinach a lot, and just sautee it with some garlic and a little lemon juice. yummy!

I usually put the spinach in first and then throw eveything else in on top. Doesn't take long- maybe 5 minutes or so? If you use fresh it'll take a little longer for it to get soft and stop looking like leaves, but I basically just do it until it's heated through and looks like it should look. sorry, i know that's a really bad explaination but I just kind of make it up and eyeball it as I go.
I have been feeling kind of hopeless about this diet thing. I really need to stick to it. I went to NY this weekend and totally went off the diet! ERRRRRR
Bfast: Kashi Trail Mix- it was soo good. Highly recommend for a granola bar w/ low sugar.
