And now, back to my Cinch plan. I lost another 3 pounds in 3 days on the Fast Forward. I have now lost a total of 11.5 lbs in exactly 5 weeks. It's amazing how awesome food tastes after you've been eating the same thing for 3 straight days. Thinking back to the first time I completed the Fast Forward phase, I remember how much I loved the variety of foods and flavors that I was having on the Core plan.
BREAKFAST (9:00 am)
Cranberry Cashew Parfait:
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal
6 oz. vanilla yogurt
2 TBSP chopped cashews
Dash cloves
This parfait was really yummy. My husband's parfait is on the left, and mine is on the right. His looks like it has more yogurt inside the glass...

LUNCH (2:00 pm)
(This recipe was supposed to use ground turkey, but I needed to use some rosemary ham in the fridge before it went bad.)
Ham Pita "Pizzalad":
1/4 cup marinara sauce, 1/4 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, 1/2 cup spring salad greens
1/2 whole wheat pita
3 oz rosemary ham
1 TBSP olive oil
Dash of balsamic vinegar for the salad
This pita pizza tasted SOOOO good! Loved this one. It felt like I was eating so much food too, and the whole meal probably only had about 250 calories. Delicious.

After lunch, I substituted my daily dark chocolate with 6 of the mini cadbury eggs with the candy crunch shell. It was also 100 calories, but this is my favorite candy ever. It's only out once a year around Easter time, so I just had to have a few. I tried to forget about the fact that it's loaded with Yellow #5, Blue #3, etc. UGH!
SNACK (5:30 pm)
Apple, Hazelnut Butter, and Cheese
1/2 of an apple
1 mini Babybel Gouda cheese
1 TBSP Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter
I dipped my apple in the hazelnut butter and ate the cheese on the side.
DINNER (8:00 pm)
California Cilantro Chicken Burrito Bowl:
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup all natural salsa, 1/4 cup each green bell pepper, onion, & vegetable broth
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
3 oz cooked chicken, cubed
1/4 medium avocado, cubed
1/4 tsp chopped garlic and 1 TBSP chopped cilantro
I really love this recipe too!

Tomorrow, I am planning to have the Cherry Almond Green Tea Smoothie for breakfast, the Turkey Almond Pita for lunch, the Cranberry Pesto Egg Salad for a snack, and the Edamame Cashew Stir Fry for dinner.
