  • Quote: Shark - your plan sounds good - I'll be watching with interest as I've been watching the loose skin start to pile up (not expecting miracles with the tummy but the bat wings under the arms are bothersome) and I'm getting itchy to do a program like Insanity again...I know you'll keep us posted & another for a great loss this week
    I'll keep you updated! I'm about to head home for day 2 of P90X.

    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.

    I buy the RTD that is the same as ip...protithin anytime

    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.

    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.
  • My first WI at the new clinic and I am down 5lbs 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
