I'll keep you updated! I'm about to head home for day 2 of P90X. :devil:

I'm not too worried, since I've been working out for 3 months now. I was expecting P90X to be way more intense than my current workout, but so far it's pretty comparable. Just quicker than normal, and I can't fully do every interval.

Hi Everyone..

Sorry I have not been a round...my plate runith over lately...

Still plugging along. One year on program anniversary coming up really soon. Wanted to be in the 180's but since I am slow and steady wins the race over here, I am thinking not LOL... Feeling like end of summer I will hit my goal so I am ok with that.

Hope all are well..keep pluggin along...

Awesome, thank you! I just placed an order. It'll be nice to have a slightly smaller bill from my IP clinic for the next few weeks :)

WhaT do you guys buy at Nashua ? :)

:hug::hug::hug:

I buy the RTD that is the same as ip...protithin anytime
But we have a WHOLE alternatives products thread with MANY more ideas

I buy some of the bars. It gives me a bit more variety at a cheaper price. Also, I like the ProtiDiet Cereal - Honey Nut Soy. Taste similar to Honey Nut Cheerios!

I am all packed and ready for my cruise. Hopefully none of my IP food gets smushed! I just finished baking 6 breakfast muffins (2 caramel zucchini chocolate chip and 4 wildberry muffins), so I think I am officially all set.

Woohoo! Have a blast, and good luck!

(And share those muffin recipes? They sound divine!)

Thank you!

Wildberry Muffin recipe:

1 Wildberry Yogurt Packet
1 Crispy Cereal packet (ground to a powder)
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 T splenda/stevia
4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp baking powder
3 T water


- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a standard sized muffin tin with olive oil spray.
- Before opening packet, crush IP Crispy Cereal until fine (powder consistency.)
- In a medium bowl, mix beaten eggs, ground cinnamon, Splenda/Stevia, olive oil, and baking powder. Once mixed, add in Wildberry Yogurt and Crispy Cereal. Slowly mix in water.
- Spoon mixed-up batter into muffin tins. If there are empty muffin cups in your tin, fill ¼ of the way with water to allow other muffins to bake evenly.
- Bake muffins for 10-12 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Half a batch = 1 unrestricted.

I've also made this with the apple soy puffs instead of crispy cereal.

That is a good idea I am going to make muffins to take also on my trip to Europe on Sunday.:cp:

My first WI at the new clinic and I am down 5lbs :carrot::carrot: and it has not been a complete week. But today was the only day I could stock up for my trip. I think I will really like this doctor, he really went over my food journal and circled lean ham :-(. He said I was almost perfect this week with my food, I thought you could have lean ham, anyway I don't have anymore to eat. He also stresses eating in addition to your 4 cups of veggies, to get in 4 cups of plain lettuce, has anyone heard of that before? I know it is for the bulk and it can help keep you regular.

But I wish I was going to be in town more this summer to really get the benefit of his guidance, they are really strict at this clinic and structure is what I need in the beginning. So, since I will be on vacation and working out of town my next WI is in 3 weeks, so he said he will expect me to lose 6lbs. I think that is reasonable.:) given that I will be away from home base. I am going to make it work.

Question re: measuring raw spinach & broccoli
 

I have seen so many different nutritional facts on raw spinach and broccoli.

According to the website below, 1 cup of raw spinach = 30 grams (2 cups = 60 grams) and 1 cup of raw broccoli = 91 grams (2 cups = 182 grams).

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...roducts/2626/2

Do you think it's okay to use these measurements? I have a scale that measures in grams, so I'm trying to make it easier for me when measuring these 2 veggies. ;)

Any advice would be helpful... thanks! :)

Woo - you are ambitious :) I wouldn't dare to touch Insanity at these calorie levels - even P2 levels & I though P90X was comparable (plyometrics?). My biggest fear would be muscle loss (body using it as fuel)...but yah- I'm not very well versed with P90 & really hope it works out :)

So I guess my body listened to my gripes lol was down almost 2 pounds this morning and can smell the 170's :D
