What helps me a lot is __________.

[Guest guest]

In the hopes of starting an interesting thread... here goes:

What helps me a lot is : JOURNALING. I did C1 without a notebook. Now

in C2W5, although I still freak out sometimes, (insert whiny voice:

" I'm

doing everything I'm supposed to be, and nothing's changing!!) I can

always see what

is happening. The scale moves like a snail, I can barely see it

moving. But I write

down everything that could be compared, so that way, usually ONE of a

number of

factors is changing for the better. " I may not have lost 'bubkas'

around my waist, but

my thighs lost 3/4 of an inch each! " It's what keeps me sane. I've

also got

undeniable PROOF unfortunately, that for me the more decadent the

free day, the

more ground I have to make up. It usually takes me until the

Wednesday/Thursday

afterwards until I'm where I was Sunday morning! (at least

scale-wise- it can't all be

water, can it?) But I'm not ready to give up that which I look

forward to every week.

I'm still progressing, albeit slowly. drop the donut? no!!!!

Please feel free to tell me what helps you keep it all together.

Always looking for new

food ideas (especially the take-along-non-perishable type for running

around town) and ways to keep it all interesting.

Making food up in advance. I bake my own meal replacement bars (the

recipes are at www.mrsbishwits.com) as well as protein pancakes.

These are so easy to take along with me and it cuts the time to pack

my lunch through the week. I also divvy up cottage cheese and fruit

into portion size containers. BFL would be a LOT harder (if not

impossible) if I didn't prepare for each week in advance.

Hi Jen,

thanx for the info >

www.mrsbishwits.com did not work ? and are the protein pancakes a

recipe there too ? I have always hated cottage cheese. But since

one of my goals is to try at least one new healthy food a week I

bought some. I still thought it was gross plain. So I added it to

a shake not too bad that way It's the lumps that gross me

out, not the taste.

Oops, sorry -- http://www.mrsbishwitskitchen.com/

For protein pancakes I use the following recipe:

2 egg whites

1 whole egg

1/3 cup raw oats

1/3 cup cottage cheese

1-2 pkt. Splenda

dash vanilla extract

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour onto hot pan

or griddle and cook like you would regular pancakes.

I make big batches of these for the week and divvy them up in ziplock

baggies.

For cottage cheese shakes, just make sure to blend VERY well and

it'll get the lumps out.
