  • Quote: Ok, I had my first Ph 3 breakfast this morning and savored every bite of it. The bowl of museli/yogurt/blueberries was enormous and I even put in 2/3 c of yogurt instead of a full cup. I thougth there was no way, I'd finish it, but I ate every single bite. Blueberries never tasted so good in my life! It's 1:30 here and I haven't eaten lunch yet. I just wasn't hungry and got busy doing other things. So, now I've got to make something.
    Yum! Sounds great! I am going shopping today to get stuff for Phase 3 on Thursday! I am nervous, I hope I am ready. I am starting to think I will never think i am "thin" enough. Taking my phase 3 sheet to get a variety at Publix. Craving some oatmeal pancakes with real fruit in them!!!

    On a side note, Tom usually shows up by now...wondering where he is? I know this program can do weird things to our body though...
  • Geesh, I am craving something chocolaty!

    Me tot- looks like a chocolate shake. - ideal protein of course is in my near future.
  • Brenda, did you read my post about making IP icecream with an IP drink? I think choc. ice cream might just be the thing!
  • Please repost on how to make IP ice cream with an IP shake..
    Thank you?
  • Just go back a page Sonia to post #76!
  • oops.. Thanks SANDY.
    I'll learn the ropes around 3FC.
  • Man, that reminds me I forgot to buy the salt to make the ice cream. :/

    So, I have a personal questions... Tom should have come Friday Night/Saturday Morning...and it still hasn't... is that normal. This is the first time on the diet that Tom has been MIA. Could it be the weight loss? the intense workout I had Saturday, lower body fat? I'm birth control so I better not be preggers!
  • Legan I can't help you with that! But maybe do a search of this site!

    You're welcome! It is a little complicated around here.
  • Good morning. I had another extremely hectic weekend so I haven't been around since Thursday. I was at an all time low of 152.2 on Sunday morning. Had a bday party for my kids yesterday and made ham and just knew I'd be up this morning because of the sodium but wasn't expecting to see 155.8! I haven't seen the 155s in a while. I made scalloped potatoes too but made them seperate so I could have ham only and then made roasted veggies for my sil and I and thought I was doing so well. Hope it's all water weight and gone by Thursday morning. 152.2 seems so far away again!

    I have only a little under 2 weeks before phase 3 and I'm still freaking. I will do my phase 3 shopping Saturday before my daughter's dance competition so I will have hubby with and feel rushed so I will need a great list before I leave the house.

    I have a test this afternoon and once again had no time to study so I'm feeling super stressed. So glad the semester is almost over!
  • Quote: Yeah Sandy....He's not a terrible person just a bit too "messed up" to get involved with. Bad divorce, a teenage son who hates his mother, job instabilty and an alcoholic ex-wife causing legal troubles with his former business. The man's doing a Jekyll and Hyde on me. I don't know what to believe or which end is up with him.....but something sure smells rotten. I thought he'd gotten things stabilized, so he said and was rebuilding, ready to move forward. Few days later.....Mr. Hyde shows up! I'm done....

    Said I was going to stay off the computer but after looking at the two boxes sitting in my office and my checking account, I decided it was time to put them up on ebay. I like getting rid of stuff and the extra money, but I sure hate the listing process. Wish me luck!
    Men, sometimes they are not worth all the stress, pain and time... I kind of like not having someone who is more work than it is worth... don't get me wrong am not a man hater, just really really picky... too old to change my ways soo...
    I am glad you found out before it became real serious. Good for you Cat.. hopefully you get good prices for the things you are selling...

    This will probably be my last official wi today... not sure if I am looking forward it or not. I think I did fairly well for my first week, went a little overboard for my fun day, but was phase 1 all day yesterday, and didn't have any real cravings so that was good. Hope you all have a great week.

    Sandy - pudding/ice cream good, BARS bad... stay away from them.

    Lynsey good luck on your exam, you will do good. and don't stress about phase 3 just buy extra fruit and yogurt and you will be fine.

    Not sure how old you are but there comes a time in a woman's life where she no longer runs like clockwork. It can start in your late 30's. In my early 40's, I once ran 45 days...the last 3 weeks were pretty severe PMS. Next few months were just perfect and then a couple weird months and so on and so on. I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes very erratic and the "volume" changes. And I sure as heck would make sure my BC system was firmly in place!

    Kind of a bitter sweet day, I imagine. I hope it's a good one. And I donated 50 pounds of dog food to an animal shelter. Wonder what people were thinking as I shivvied two big bags in a baby stroller on and off a tram?

    That is wonderful, that will be my next donations I think... after having 4 dogs in my house and squeakys going just about 24/7 I would love to give all my dogs and my friend's dogs TOYS away... but then they would just chase the cats more.
