    Donna excellent. You are really getting the hang of this. Fats are right on. It's good that you knew to take the salmon into consideration because of the higher fat content. I will post my workouts.

    Lina, It's just so beautiful. You can have a couple of eggs or another half of a container of protein at 9. Your eggs in the morning didn't add up to a container. Looks really good. I'm proud of you!

    10:00 Oatmeal banana 2 tbsp peanut butter

    12:00 Spinach & field of greens w/rasberry vin

    2:30 Red Snapper long grain & wild rice w/veg

    6:00 Ground turkey w/peppers brussel sprouts

    9:00 Protein shake

    Quart size veggie bag cut up and thus far 32 oz of water.

    No time for exercise today - kids got me running. cheer tryouts, hockey game and lacross. Just shoot me now.. LOL...

    Tracy, Missing a carb. Not going to make a big deal because you had your shake which has carbs and the raspberry vin. definitely has sugar in it. Please do a regular balsamic in the future. Overall day looks pretty good. Your two protein shakes add up to almost the 66g that is in each container.

    How are you feeling?

    Did you find the tenderloin? I was at Jacki's girl scout meeting.

  10. jodyMay 6, 2009 at 7:06 PM

    Lisa, not sure it was the right one. I cooked for twenty minutes and it wasn't done. I had to leave it in the oven and go to work. Turned the oven off first, of course.

    Hey Jody,

    Here was my intake for the day;

    6:30 a.m. container red grapes, cup coffee tsp of 1/2 n 1/2

    8:30 a.m. container steel cut oats and 2 hard boiled egg whites

    9:30 - 10:30 45 minute intense spin class

    11:30 protein shake 1 scoop protein/greens 1 tbsp almond butter 4oz organic skim 4oz water

    2:30 1 full container turkey burger season with pepper 1 container sweet potatoes

    Some raw broccoli in between here

    5:30 1 full container barilla plus with tomato sauce 1 full container shrimp with garlic and tomato sauce cooked in tsp of canola oil

    8:30 p.m. protein shake with tbsp almond butter 1 scoop protein/greens first 2oz organic skim 6oz water.

    I am also working on getting the dairy out of the protein shakes, just doing it gradually. I like the almond butter better with the shakes too! Also last night was a boo boo I had a full container of lentils with a full container of barilla plus. My mistake, thought that the beans had more protein.
    I drank alot of water all day too with lemon.

    Over all I feel really full, not hungry and the planning of the meals is the most helpful.

    Jody what about supplements like calcium? Since that is a major concern for most women and you don't encourage dairy, should I be supplementing? and if so, with what supplements?

    Val, amazing. I know i said ok about a whole container of blueberries and strawberries. I was thinking of both in the same container. Probably no more than three quarters from now on if only blueberries. Since you missed half a carb its fine that you had the full container. Good Job!

  21. jodyMay 6, 2009 at 9:07 PM

    Marylee, be careful with the carbs you had sweet potatoes, steel cut oats and barilla. Should only have 2 containers. Everything else looks good. Try not to eat the crackers because now you are giving in to the cravings we are trying to get rid of.

    As far as supplements you should take a mutlivitamin, calcium with d, ester c. Truthfully you get more calcium from spinach and brocolli. If you eat a bowl of baby spinach every day you will get all the calcium you need. No reason you can't take an additional calcium supplement if you want.

    MARYLEE, forgive me it was Jan with the crackers!!!!

  23. jodyMay 6, 2009 at 9:14 PM

    Jan don't give in to the sugar cravings. We are trying to get rid of them. You are going through withdrawals like a drug addict. Don't feed the addiction.

    You are short complex carbs big time. That will make you shakey and jittery. We are not on a low carb diet. Please, have a protein shake before bed and tell me how you feel when you wake up tomorrow.

  24. UnknownMay 6, 2009 at 9:20 PM

    Jody,

    I am just a little confused, aren't I supposed to eat 3 containers of carbs throughout the day? To be quite honest I can do without 1 container around dinner time or even in the morning depending on when I workout.

    Oh and BTW, my cravings are CHOCOLATE!!!! not crackers LOL

  30. TRuleMay 6, 2009 at 10:28 PM

    Jody, how many carbs are we supose to have? I had a banana, oatmeal and rice.. I thought that was pleanty.

    I am feeling fine. It is more food than I usually eat, so I am adjusting. At times my head feels a bit spacey but I am assuming it is because I am adjusting to "no junk". Junk was my dinner or at times lunch...

    I am a huge gum chewer, so hopefully sugar free gum is okay to continue chewing. Otherwise I might have to go back to smoking.. NOT

    Hello! Very challenging day today. I was in the city in meetings all day. I brought all of my food, but, the timing was all off. I also couldn't finish all of the protein and carbs.

    Late start to eating... didn't feel well.

    9:00am: 6oz oatmeal with 1/4 scoop of protein powder, cinnamon and 3 med. strawberries.

    12:00pm: 1/2 pear, 4 egg whites and spinach

    1:00pm: 2/3 container chicken, 1tbsp pb in recipe, 2/3 container of veggies, 1/2 container brown rice.

    3:00pm: bag of peppers

    6:30pm: 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds, bag of cucumbers

    8:00pm: 2 celery stalks with 2 tbsp of pb.

    8:30pm: 1/2 container tilapia on spring salad, 1 tbsp olive oil.

    9:30pm: Protein shake (2 scoops Dream Powder and 2 teaspoons cocoa powder - WOW! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for that little gem.

  36. Jan HoltzbergMay 7, 2009 at 6:35 AM

    jod - i assume that note above is to me? i had about 25 nuts and 14 oz water and went to sleep at 11 (very late for me)

    BUT i feel MUCH better this morning! Stomach feels empty but i dont feel queezy at all or uncomfortably starving.

    I also have to get root canal (2 teeth) thats why my tooth was bothering me so much - so that may hamper my eating until Monday.

    going to yoga then running all day xoxo

    Nina, think you were under wrong day. We are now day 5. Day looks really good. Please, stick to one bananna. They are very carb dense. About 36 grams per bananna. Everything else looks terrific.
