ReplyDeleteMaryann, Don't be nervous! You had 4 kids for God's sake. You can do anything.Can't wait to see you on Sunday. It's going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteOn blog - how did the launch go? pls send doc email
Tom, great informative, motivational speech.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone. Wegmans here we come.
Launch went well, Dawn. Huge turn out. Lots of energy in the room. Really great group.
ReplyDeleteThere is a deliberate order in which we want to handle this program. You need to wait for the dvd to get started. We will get it to you as soon as possible (no later than wed). If we give the documents first you will have a million questions.
Your success means everything to me. Don't want to set you or anyone else up for failure. This is a marathon not a sprint, as Tom would say.
Women, if you need to ask me anything and you'd rather not blog it email me at jody_phillips4@yahoo.com or send a message on facebook. You can also, call my cell 732-996-4108 if you feel it's an emergency.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you guys!
I am revvved up!! Thanks for the motivational talk today. Saw Brett in Wegmans today, we totally dominated the tupperware aisle. I also bought a tea ball, which was very estrogenic.
ReplyDeleteQuick question - wanted to make a cubed beef stir fry, bought - organic strip steak, stir fry vegetables (snap peas, mushroom onion carrot) organic Shitake and ginger sauce (used less than 1 tablespoon)and garlic.
ReplyDelete1. Is this bad?-
2. If ok, should the amount of protein (steak) fill 9.5 oz container with the vegetables or without.
3. What about egg rolls? - just kidding
Thanks
Brett
Wegman's can thank Fit-for-Life for record Tupperware sales in one day! They didn't have a single one left when I got there!
ReplyDeleteI must say, that NO ONE, not even my kids (as hard as they try) has gotten me to cook for 5 hours straight!! I am impressed. Thanks for the motivation Tom and Jody!
I had a recipe that I hope fits...
Ingredients include natural pb, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar and red pepper flakes. You marinade chicken in this and either bake or grill. I will count the pb as one of my fats. Is this ok?
Karen, that sounds delicious. Pb has 16 grams of fat per tablespoon. If each serving had a tablespoon in it you would only have around 34 more grams of fat to play with for the day.Just something to keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteYou have me beat. I was only cooking for 3 hours. Here's what I accomplished: Boiled 2 dozen eggs. Put 4 egg whites, 1 yolk and a teaspoon of low fat saflower mayo in each container. Less then 10 grams of fat per serving. Made 6 meals
ReplyDeleteCooked 4 tuna steaks ( wild caught only) Seasoned with cajun spices and broiled. Ended filling only 3 containers. Made 3 protein meals.
2 pounds ground white meat ground turkey, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, spicy mustard. Added 2 egg whites to hold together. Filled 4 containers. Made 4 protein meals.
2 pounds ground bison meat seasoned not really sure how my son did it. 2 egg whites to hold together. When containers were filled made 4 meals
Cooked steal cut oats (from wegman's organic aisle bins)9Cups of water to 3 cups of oats. Added cinnamon for flavor. Filled 4 containers. This is 8 servings of carbs. Eat half a container at a time.
Boiled 5 large yams. I cut in discs and then in half skin on. Takes about 30 minutes to cook. Skins peel right off or you can leave on for added fiber.Filled 5 containers or 10 servings of carbs. Again eat half a container at a time.
I also, cut up cucumber 1 small per container 5 containers. Eat as much of this as you want.
Steamed a cauliflower lightly salted and filled 5 containers. Again, you can eat as much of this stuff as you want. you will burn more calories digesting then you take in from the vegetable.
I've been a busy girl. Had to neglect my husband so he'll be cranky tomorrow. He he
Hey any you girls want to cook for me?-LOL
ReplyDeleteWagmans tomorrow as family affair with lots of trimming today, but nin of that for me. Had my game face on
FOR ANYONE INTERESTED - OR WHO DOESN'T REALLY DIG PLAIN SALAD ALL THAT MUCH - THERE IS A GREAT NEW AND FUN GADGET OUT BY "OXO" CALLED THE GOOD GRIPS SALAD CHOPPER AND BOWL. THIS SUCKER HAS GOTTEN ME AND MY FAM TO EAT SALAD TWICE A DAY WITH ANY AND ALL COMBOS OF VEGGIES - THAT WE NORMALLY WOULD NEVER TOUCH LET ALONE EAT- ITS AWESOME! ESP IF YOU LIKE "CHOPPED" SALAD - HIGHLY RECC AND ITS ABOUT 25 BUX!
ReplyDeleteBETH BATH AND BEYOND AND AMAZON HAVE IT -
HERES THE LINK:

ALSO- JODY - WHAT ABOUT THE DVD? IM CONFUSED
I SHOULD ADD ITS SUPER EASY TO USE AND CLEAN!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! There must be others of you, like me, who has a coffee or two every morning! I bought Teeccino Caffe, at a health food store www.teeccino.com it is an herbal organic "coffee", I did a 3/4 coffee and 1/4 Teeccino, to ease out of my caffeine habit. Wasn't bad :-)
ReplyDeleteThe dvd wont be ready until the end of the week. It's just a recording of Tom's seminar in case you need to look back on anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jody! I am allergic to most other nuts so getting the fats in outside of olive oil and avocado and pumkin seeds is difficult.
ReplyDeleteIt helps to have some new easy ideas for meals. Still don't know how you managed all that in 3 hours.
Thanks to Jan for the salad chopper idea.
My turn to cook next week... clarification on Jody's post which read: "Cooked steal cut oats (from wegman's organic aisle bins)9Cups of water to 3 cups of oats. Added cinnamon for flavor. Filled 4 containers. This is 8 servings of carbs. Eat half a container at a time." Each container is 1 serving... the steal cut oats have more carbs in it per container than say organic long grain rice; however, right now we are trying to keep measuring managable and as long as you are consistent with what you do then it won't be an issue. Right now just get into the habit of cooking, packing and sticking with the plan that was laid out. Once we have a baseline of what your bodies are doing then we can add or cut calories. Alos, don't forget to eat your veggies!
ReplyDelete6am 1/2 container eggs- 1 whole egg/3egg whites, 1 piece E. bread with 1 tbsp almond butter, apple and 1 c. coffee mix with 2tbsp milk (working towards cutting this out)
ReplyDelete10a. 1/2 container above mentioned eggs 1/2 container oatmeal
I have packed for the remainder of my day 1 container of tuna with tbsp safflower mayo
1 container of chicken cooked with 1/2 tbsp canola oil and rosemary, 1 pc e bread, 1 container of quiona, plenty of spinach & red peppers 5:15 walking on treadmill for 1/2 hour with a hour yoga afterwards :-)
ooppps meant 1/2 container of quiona!
ReplyDeleteHow much avocado is considered a serving? Also, what about canned tuna fish?
ReplyDelete1 entire (average sized) avocado (seeded without skin) has 21 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbs and 3 grams of protein. So, use that info as a guide. Canned tuna is fine but not optimal as I want you to move more toward wild fish instead of farm raised or canned. If you choose canned tuna just read the label for serving sizes. FYI the metals in canned anything are not good for you over time.
ReplyDeletewww.nutritiondata.com is a great website for answering "what about this food" type questions... remember, part of the journey is your own education. If you follow us and do a little homework of your own you will be amazed how much you know at the end.
ReplyDeleteDonna, looks fantastic. Good going!
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked me about protein bars. Please, do not eat them.
ReplyDeleteTom, I know you don't want us on dairy. I am a low fat cottage cheese eater, especially in a pinch. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteProper Preperation is all about not creating "pinch situations." We don't do dairy for lots of reasons... if you feel compelled to eat low fat cottage cheese then at night about an hour before bed is the best time. Do you put anything in it?
ReplyDeleteJod - how do you want the fitness part of this to work into the program - in other words - how much / day how many days/ what type of workout and does it matter when in relation to the food we eat?
ReplyDeletealso - a fun tip for the grapes - is to freeze them - so good - last longer and very refreshing!
Jody/tom - Hummas and edamame - what category and how much is good? Also If anyone can recc a soy and whey free protein shake - id appreciate it! I'm gluten free - thanks
Jan - we are not addressing that. What I said about your cardio and what you are already doing at the gym is plenty. It's ideal to do something 6 days a week (whether it's strength training or HIT or a KB class or a boot camp). As far as grapes, they are pretty much an ideal food to eat AS YOU STRENGTH TRAIN.
ReplyDeleteHummus you need to read the label as all companies make it a little different *it is mostly a carb). As far as edamame there are 3 grams or protein and 3 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fat for each ounce. Check out www.nutritiondata.com for these types of questions... it is a great source.
ok thanks tom - jody - i dont see your diary posted
ReplyDeletejody - nevermind! see it
