hi all
 

Hi everyone I hope your day is going well yesterday was a good day ETL wise however I had to have a tooth pulled yesterday and am quite sore today. I had a interesting thing happen to me I got up this morning and just wasn't hungry so I ate 1/2 a banana and then went to my moms to help her with some stuff. When I got home I was really hungry and my hubby made me a bean and cheese burrito with his cheese in it and it was really gross. I think this is really good because all last week I wanted nothing but his cheese I didn't eat any and now that I have I know it's not something I'm going to be missing any more . Next week I'm going to do a program at TOPS on being vegetarian and doing ETL any thing that you guys think is really important to include in the program? have a great week End

Today will be a challenge b/c my neighbor is having a fiesta with all the home-made Mexican fixings! It will be difficult to eat vegetarian much less low fat vegan like E2L! Plus she loves for me to sample everything b/c she knows it's not how this southern girl cooks. I may have to stay home since I'm weak and prone to giving in to temptation.

:hug: sarah, Mexican food is tricky maybe you can bring something you know is ETL or stick to the beans and veggies? If you don't do 100% it's ok just remember to enjoy it there is nothing worse then not enjoying your meal because you know it's not on plan. good luck. It is cold and rainy here man that sucks it feels like tomato soup night maybe. I really blew it today with some chocolate about 4 peaces dang those hersey kisses and those white chocolate ball :chockiss: :( oh well I'm back up I dusted my self off and starting all over again. I just feel icky I'm not sure if it was the chocolate or my teeth or the weather I just want to sleep or lay around and that is so not me.

Breakfast: 24 oz blended salad with mixed greens water mellon and plums

Lunch gaspacho salad with a torila and maybe some bean stuff

dinner split pea soup with salad maybe some vinigeret dressing and some smashed califlower.

oh and 2 kisses sigh I don't think I can give them up right now

Hi, everyone. I've decided to do ETL. I want to lose 15-20 pounds, and improve my high blood pressure, allergies and asthma. Can someone post how to make a blended salad? Breakfast was a banana, frozen cherry, soymilk and flaxseed smoothie, yummy, and green tea, I know, I'm not giving up my two cups in the morning, bessides, I think it's good for you. I also take Dr. Fuhrman's supliments, and noticed a 50 point drop in my cholesterol by taking his LDL protect, amazing. Count me in, wish me luck.
Oh, I bought daicon radish at the store, yesterday, and am looking forward to trying it, I like hot stuff, so, I'm hopeful. I also want to get the revised edition of Cholesterol Protection for Life. Have a great day, all.

hi Amie and welcome to make a belnded salad just add greens to your smoothie for example today I had one with watermelon, plums,a banana and about 2 cups of mixed greens with spinich and such. I've only blended fruit and greens but some put in beans and lots of others salad fixings I'm not that brave yet. does your tea have caffeine in it? oh and good luck and healthy eating. Thats wonderful about your cholestrol again welcome.

Thanks, gggbdomino. I will definitely try that! My tea has caffein in it. I am a heavy black coffee junky, have the melita quick brew machine. I'm hoping the green tea switch will help my insomnia, it should. Gonna go make salad. I also wanna make the eggplant hummus in the KPFL book, as I'm short on snack ideas.

Hi Amie!
 

:welcome2: I'm addicted to my coffee too and just bought some green tea bags to make the switch. Good luck to us all!

Hi, Ssarah. Well, messed up on the coffee, had 2 cups today, black, lowest energy I've had in quite a while. Just now getting dressed. Otherwise on plan, my lunch huge salad was great, edamame, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radish, onions, with a little pear vinigar, and a tsp of olive oil, along with grapes. Gonna go have mexican salad for dinner, beans, brown rice, cilantro, salsa, green onions, with a steamed veggie side and more fruit.
