Had a great day yesterday. I finally made zucchini patties to my satisfaction. very delicious. I put 6 melba toast in it and it was not runny nor oily. I shall post the recipe a bit later.
It is very crisp and cool here this morning and I want to go for an hour walk with my boys. No running today.
I bought those tofu noodles someone recommended, haven't tried them yet, but they are so low in EVERYTHING including calories. I also bought some Rudi's english muffins (wanted bread but my Whole Foods didn't carry it), Zevia (which I tried and it pretty darn good!), and 90% dark chocolate.
I still need to find some BFC appropriate jelly/jam/preserves, peanut butter, and cookies. Does anyone have any recipes for cookies or brownies? I know JC used to have a brownie recipe on his web site, but I think it's not there anymore.
I'm waiting for my paycheck to go into my direct deposit so I can order the book from Amazon and I can't wait. Gonna get the carb and sugar counter too. XD
The Belly Fat Cure book
has a brownie recipie.
It also has pictures and descriptions of different
Preserves and peanut butters... and a lot of other catagories like breads, liquor etc...
The book is pretty helpful, at least it was for me. There are 5 different plans to follow, and tons of recipies. I am going to make the shrimp fajitas and use that as my lunch meal 4 days this week.
I had a Rob Vanilla Shake with benefiber for my B for 0/1
OMG, I just had a bite of the most delicious brownie ever and it was organic from the whole foods bakery made with maltitol. As I said before, it seems it's not as good to have as stevia, so I had *just* a bite, but it was delicious.
Today:
Breakfast 1/1 (1 slice bread, 2 eggs, 3 slices bacon)
Lunch 0/2 (2 servings of roasted potatoes)
Snack 4.5/1 (small salad with cucumber, tomato, celery, ranch)
Dinner 3/2 (1 tortilla with cheddar cheese and 2 tbsp salsa)
Total: 8.5/6
I'd also like to say thanks to chewy for being my buddy today

Hi Buddy!
Glad you enjoyed that brownie from WFM!!
If ya need to AIM me tomorrow and I send you smileys, it just means I am busy at work. But I will try to get back to you...no worries, I work outside and on trains. No Bosses looking over me.
Thanks for the AIM chat!!
Tomorrow I am bringing lunch and snacks to work, no like I originally thought.
I'm at 9/5, and I'm trying to think if I should do that final carb like JC recommends, especially since one of those carbs was only 6g. But's already 8:30 and I'm pretty full.
I woke up super late today (like 11) because I didn't have any plans or work or school so it kind of threw my meals off. I burned 3 strips of bacon...twice...so I took it as a sign that the universe didn't want me to have breakfast and I went straight to lunch around noon.
So far I have 1g/3 (44)g, 4g fiber, and 30 oz. water.
update:
Just had "lunch" (at 4 pm lol) was 3g/2 (30g), 7g fiber, and 15 oz. water.
Dinner I am thinking will be a smart and simple McWrap (thanks chewy for the suggestion ), and a small salad. It should be 9/2 (35g), 17.5 fiber, and another AT LEAST 15 oz. water.
I will be going end up at 13/7, but really, my total grams of carbs is only 109, so I think it's ok. I could take out the wrap, but then I would have hardly any fiber...

Gooo for the fiber~!~ I found in the book where it is recommended to eat about 5 G sugar per meal on page 10 3rd paragraph. FWIW

Reason: typo
Today has been a looong day. I met up with some friends in the city (Chicago) and did a lot of walking. I had my breakfast beforehand and then packed a lunch cause we did a little picnic. Unfortunately, getting home took longer than I thought and I didn't have a snack with me so I got pretty hungry. I made a big salad though so it should fill me up.
I soooo need a buddy(ies) and don't IM, but would be willing to email as I check it MUCH more often and these forums are very slow as someone else has already stated. Let me know. I am brand new to the program, just bought the book and the sugar/carb counter book yesterday.
