Okay chicks...im ready to do this challenge thing! I need some help though. Could you each please post a typical day of eating for me....both on the take off days and then a day with the shake. This would really really help me to get back on track and I would really appreciate it.
Chiklit - don't know what to say for the starch. Im not good with whats light vs not. I hope that you feel better after your salad
Hey Carmen - I enjoy taking a pita pocket half and toasting it and having that with my salad - I guess the peas would work too - you could always try those TLC Kashi crackers - you get 5/starch
Beanie - well today - my first day with shakes was like this......
break - bagel w/peanut butter & apple .5P S F
snack - luna bar L
Lunch - spinach salad w/nuts,strawberries, blue cheese w/lt rasb. ving dressing -- VVFaF.5D
**currently I'm here and I feel pretty good - not hungry - not stuffed !!!
snack pm - shake PS
dinner (planned) tuna steak, roasted asparagus, light bread PVS
snack before bed - luna L
Kristi - sounds like you are doing great!! I think I'm better off doing the shake at lunch - because we always have a family dinner at night - that is DH and DD time.....
EDITED TO ADD:I might try to do a smoothie on the weekends with the shakes - who knows....I might end up getting a smoothie mixer for here at work - hmmmmm.....
katie - you get 4 fruits - is that right - what plan are you on red?? I can't remember - I was just writing yours down to mix things up a bit - trying to just modify for blue w/lites- hehehe
Thrilled? hey , the is an understatment - I'm pretty excited b/c both of my important projects are coming to an end - one of them goes live on monday!!! wehooooooooooo hoooooooooo -
I'm going to the Southern Women's show tomorrow - it is a place where they have like 300 vendors - jewelry, food, trips, clothes, crafts - everything - I love to go each year!!! It is really fun to go with a friend - so needless to say - not sure quite how OP I will be tomorrow!!!!
Kristi - I'm glad to see you're hanging in there, chick! I never have a problem getting my veg in. I really like them. But when I'm not hungry (rarely) and I know I need to get them in I always have something cooked. Usually broccoli or mashed cauliflower. So good! Fruit is a different story. I have the HARDEST TIME getting that in.
HeatherPP - I don't really like smoothies, never have, but someone on here mentioned taking some SFFF Cool whip and mixing it in with the shake. That sounds like it could be good. I would like to try that and then throw a banana in there and maybe some Splenda and ice cubes. Does that sound like it would be gross or good?

Carmen - I'm not a big smoothie person - but girlfriend - geez you've got that thing sounding like an imitation milkshake - hhhhmmmmmmm, yummy - will you share?? I'm going to have to experiment this weekend!
yea, but the ingredients you are putting in will only make it more creamy and tasteful (w/ fruit) Sounds good to me - I might taste it without the splenda first - you wouldn't want it to get too sweet - especially with having banana and the cool whip........plus the shakes already have a sweetness to them...
Thanks for the OP vibes - I think I'll be able to do pretty good - maybe a sample here and there!!!

Good Idea...you're right. BTW, congrats on getting rid of one of your projects! I was supposed to have wrapped one of mine up as well, but I'm stuck in a holding pattern waiting for someone else's data to test with. So, until next week...
