(We are in Washington). The girls had originally wanted sushi, but then I gave them 4 choices of places that I knew I could find something to eat. I even looked at the menus online and made sure. Then they chose this one (because my daughter LOVES seafood, especially steamed clams...which is odd because I craved them like crazy when I was pregnant with her). Anyway, I figured I could get fish and steamed veggies and be find. Oh well. I am glad I stayed on plan! There are TONS of things there that I've had before that are wonderful...and far from plan!

Thanks Lisa, don't know why I didn't think of that! My husband is currently going through the day 2 hunger, has no idea how he's going to make it. I told him it really does pass but I don't think he believes me. Are men suppose to be on a different regimen? I thought I saw somewhere that men get an extra packet or protein a day.

With a weight loss of 30lbs (and determination to lose more) I know 2014 will be a great year. I do know it is best to stick to IP 100%- it is a plan that works and cuts the craving. Cheating and extra's make it harder for yourself.

Too bad about the unaccommodating waiter....if that was Anthony's Home Port, with the prices they charge, they should be way more accommodating :?: good for you sticking to your plan :carrot:

You can put it in a smoothie (if you're bending with veggies), add it to soup, make homemade salad dressing (EVOO, ACV, and herbs of choice). My lunches for MONTHS were an IP soup with veggie purée. I added oil to it.

Thank you! I sautéed some veggies for lunch cause I felt so horrible. I added a little more than it says and I feel soooo much better tonight omg. I actually feel normal. I really think that was my problem this week wow.
