Day 5 Thursday April 22nd

"Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going..."

The 7:30 p.m. HIIT class scheduled for tonight is cancelled... we are on for next week though

Many of you have commented that phase 1 is a lot of food and we know that - that's why I brought it up in the meeting. Please continue to eat what we are asking you to eat and after 1 full week of phase 1 we may begin to make changes specific to YOU. Do not change anything until that time.

1 container turkey sausage
1 large flounder fillet
1.5 scoop Harmonized Protein with greens first
5 egg whites

1 serving almond butter on the spelt bread

  7. Someone asked this the other day but I didn't see a response, what is eggplant considered? Free veggie or a carb?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Answering my own post here but looked it up (duh). 1 cup is 8g carb. So 1 cont. is approx 12 grams. Count as 1/6? Or too negligible?

  31. Val, you can do another .5oz of protein

    ReplyDelete
  32. jk, how many scoops of protein did you use? You didn't even have two full containers of protein today. Also, maybe you should chose a carb other than vans waffles if you feel too full. Sweet potato is a nice alternative and less filling in my opinion. Beans are another option. Spread your meals out more throughout the day and you wont feel stuffed. I try to eat every 3 hours or less.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Donna, we are not counting the fat in any fish. so cod is fine.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Kara, Get back on the horse. Don't look back. i promise if you stick with this and fight temptation you will have a lot less cravings. when you wait for a night that you have planned out to be your cheat its so much more satisfying. Now you have guilt and feel shitty about yourself. youre not alone, i am sure there are others that have slipped up. You are just honest which is a big step. I really appreciate you coming clean. lol! you should decide what you would like to do about your cheat meal this week. email me privately

  42. Barb - too low on carbs... please get them in you this whole week no matter what, it is really important. I don't care about if you are or are not losing weight or if you feel full, PLEASE just get it in you and we will adjust after one week if need be.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Frank - you are low on fats AND carbs and no you should not include your fish oil and flax oil pills as part of your fats. Post your menu the way I do and you will see clearly where you are short. Also, you are SUPPOSED to have 2 fruits a day and please don't use carrots as your carb. I need you eating the complex carbs on the list (oats, brown rices, quinoa, sweet potatoes, etc etc...) It may seem like a lot of food but read what I wrote to Barb above

    ReplyDelete
  44. Darren - also short a protein... 3 egg whites is 1/3 of a container and 2 scoops of Harmonized Protein is 2/3 of a container.
    Stay focused

  45. Susie - ok, but please indicate if you are doing a high carb or low carb day... remember you are doing phase 2 because you are doing the process again.
