Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
First of all, I'm lazy, so I buy bagged salad greens... one bag of an iceberg-lettuce-carrots-red-cabbage mix, and one bag of a baby-lettuce mix. I combine the two. So a big ol' salad is usually...
3 cups or so of the lettuce mix - I just pile the plate high
a handful of cucumber slices
a hard-boiled egg, minus the yolk
6 or 7 slices of turkey pepperoni
a whole bunch of raw mushrooms
*sometimes* a few Spanish olives
And then I do a lite/ff dressing of some kind... so it's really mostly lettuce that I'm eating. I was always a weird-salad person... there's not a whole lot of veggies that I really like to eat raw in salads.
And yeah, I lost 5lbs... but my clothes are still just as tight, and a friend of mine who did Tae Bo in the past said that I should be feeling more energetic by now, and I'm not. But I'm keeping at it. I'm also PMSing right now so I'm sure that has a lot to do with my lack of energy, at least.
Thanks for all the encouragement! I need all the help I can get!
