What I am loving to eat this week!

So vacation is over and about to start back to work this weekend, after an amazing maternity leave! I have gotten a ton of messages this week from old friends and even strangers asking about what I am eating here lately to get the baby weight off. So I thought I would share a few new things I have been eating to change this up and bit.

This week it is back to phase 1 for me! But I know eating the same thing every day gets old and boring. So this week I am starting my day with my coffee (with sweet and low and reg cream of course), and eating 2 eggs scrambled with 2% cheese, bell pepper and onion, salt and pepper with a turkey sausage patty to go with it. Yum! This will keep me filled up for hours and has less than 300 calories for all of it, even with the coffee.

For lunch this week, I am making turkey and ham roll ups using lean ham and turkey. I take the meat and a piece of the soft laughing cow cheese (garlic and herb), spread the cheese onto the meat, roll up and eat! It is very good. I eat a tomato and cucumber salad with vinaigrette to go with or maybe carrot sticks and celery with a light dressing.

My snack will of course be a low carb yogurt or protein shake.

And lastly dinner. Tonight I am making a spinach salad topped with cucumber, tomato, feta cheese, bacon pieces, a few almonds and steak with my parmesan vinaigrette dressing! So good and so feeling. You can get most of your daily vegetables in just by eating this!.

Dessert might be the new Coldstone Creamery light hot chocolate (from walmart) or a sugar free pudding. The new sweet temptation chocolate mouse is really good too.

These are just a few new suggestions from my original food list. And don't forget if you are just starting the diet or getting back on it after a break, you can expect a headache for a few days! It will subside I promise :)
