Here ya go...
Mojito Cocktail:
1 cup of Perrier
1 cup of Tap water
Sprinkle splenda to taste
3-4 leafs of fresh mint
1 splash of Mint Extract
3 splash of Rhum Extract
Lemon juice
Mix all this together with ice. This really taste like a mojito!
___________
Bananas Mamas Cocktail:
2 splash of banana extract
1 splash of coconut extract
1 splash of rhum extract
2-3 lemon slice
1 cup Perrier
1 cup tap water (well you can only put Perrier if you want)
Mix all this together with crushed ice, add splenda if you want, and it taste like Bahamas!!

All those extract are in the cake section of the grocery store. Mine are from club house I don't think they have some calories or carbs.. The ingredients are water, propylene glycol, alcohol and artificial flavour. I think that it's allright.. anyway, it's better than cheating!!

I am just feeling at a loss for what else to do. I am waiting to find out if I should be doing the cleanse or not - I am trying to focus on the protein while I am not feeling well, but honestly the thought of eating at all makes my stomach toss and I feel like I need to grab a garbage can.
Camio.....
I think you should see your doctor. I have to wonder if you have kidney stones. This protocol can be a little rough on the kidneys, especially if your drinking all your water + some.
JMO, I am not a seasoned member here, as I am a newbie, but I don't think you should cleanse with you feeling this way.
At least your doctor and rule out some underlining conditions.
NSV Alert! NSV Alert! My 'new' smaller pants I purchased before Christmas were getting somewhat saggy and baggy and so went shopping and tried on the next smaller size. Pretty pleased that the size 11 fit perfectly! Matched them with a cute little top and have a new outfit I can't wait to wear to work on Monday. Of course I am planning to enjoy the weekend first! Had a great steak, steamed asparagus and am enjoying a lovely glass of red wine. Yup, it is 'cheat' day today on phase IV...think I might get used to this
Hey y'all... I'm a new kid on the block =) Been reading through the boards for a few weeks now and there were so many interesting things to read that I never got around to actually making a profile id. So here I am...
Unlike most of you, I DON'T have a coach...and am doing this all on my own.... So I'm finding it hard to keep myself in check and motivated...but this forum will surely help. I'm on mat leave...so this is the perfect time for me to do this as I have full control over my meals....no unexpected group lunches at work, etc.... Except...I have a girls night planned for Saturday and I'm tripping....trying to stay motivated to not drink alcohol and stick to a salad, dressing on the side. I'm sure it won't be easy. Do you think Smirnoff Ice Lite would be ok?? Zero carbs....
Say.....I've been looking for hours today to find something on the forum...maybe I haven't figured out how to search well yet...but I have a box of these Banana Pineapple shakes that are just making me gag... They taste so "artificial" and "chemical". I was wondering if there is anything to do with them...like recipes or mods so that I can at least use them up.
Any help with this would be appreciated!!
gotmilk- welcome! i don't have a coach either. no big deal considering we have 3FC forum. this is the best place! you could try mixing 1/2 banana pineapple with 1/2 vanilla. might cut the taste some? as for the smirnoff's......omg, i'm looking over my shoulder for a flying caramel nut bar just for sayin that.... ... i would just NOT do it. i drank once since jan 3rd, and got sick as a dog. no offense alexis and jace... i was a pretty regular drinker too and i just went cold turkey. it sucks but i just brew another cup of tea waiting to phase off for my birthday. i know of another person on this forum who had the same "got sick" experience.
Oh my....I will be drinking mojitos this weekend, for sur as long as the extract is on protocol. But my coach did say it was okay for the cereal pancakes.

Your welcome!
Yes, I'm a diver too. We aren't real big cruiseline divers, so many ports, there really isn't enough time to do a 2 tank dive, and I'm a "cruiser" type person that I'm on that boat an hour before it departs.
We just fly to an island and we usually do either 4 or 5 dives a day. We have been all over the world diving, put has been put on hold for a few years because of my hubby's back. I'm keeping my paws crossed that maybe by the end of the year we can dive again

That's awesome...we were actually looking into doing either a liveaboard or 1 week in Roatan Honduras or Dominica.....we ended up doing neither as we were blessed with a little one this year....our diving is on hold until he's old enough to be left with grandpa and grandma for a week...I'm thinking 15 yrs? lol

Maybe at 12, you can get him certified and he can dive with you guys!
