Re: Uh oh - boredom setting in....

[Guest guest]

Check out some of the recipe documents in the club files section:

/files/

Especially, Maggie's In2Nutrition pdf file and the " recipes.doc "

that's near the bottom of the list. I also highly recommend trying

Ruth's cottage cheese yumminess. I've become hopelessly addicted to

it. It's totally replaced the cottage cheese, pineapple, mandarin

oranges and macadamia nut concoction that I ate every day for a year

or two.

1 cup cottage cheese

1/3 cup oats (uncooked)

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

10-15 almonds

all stirred together and sweetened with splenda

That's about 295 cals, 21g protein, 34g carbs (7 of which are fiber),

and 9g of healthy almond fat. You could fiddle with the amounts to get

the right portion.

Yesterday, I sliced my veggie burger into strips and rolled it up in a

small whole wheat tortilla with salsa and light sour cream. I love

veggie burgers that way. You could use some low-carb tortillas that

are high in protein and fiber. Maybe roll your grilled chicken salad

in one occasionally - chicken ranch wrap... chicken caesar wrap....

ooh! or turkey bacon BLT wrap. :-)

Maybe get in some eggs and fruit, or protein pancakes, or cereal and a

protein shake in the morning. I like Kashi GoLean waffles. Two of them

have 33g of carbs, 6g of fiber and 8g of protein. I usually eat both

of them with sugar free syrup and eggs or a shake. For a smaller

portion, you could have just one and top it with cottage cheese and

strawberries and splenda. Might be really good if you blended the

cottage cheese smooth and creamy.

Dang, I'm hungry now...

First of all, get the " eating for life " book, its a great companion

to BFL, and I would almost call it " essential " to the program.

Don't beat yourself up over working out, the bottom line is, if

you're sticking to around 1300 calories, and NOT working out, you

shouldn't be gaining any weight. Once you start lifting and doing

cardio again, the weight will/must come off. Calories cannot be

created out of nothing. Note, though, that counting calories isn't

exactly BFL (Bill talks about portion size instead), but I find it

helpful to know, if you're having any issues losing/gaining weight.

That's my two cents. Anyone else?

Do you have the EFL Book? It's a great source.

We make chicken and brown rice a lot. Also I'm addicted to mashed

potatoes lately and " potato patties " (leftover mashed potatoes with a

bit of eggbeaters, cooked with PAM) and eggs or turkey bacon.

Turkey bacon, string cheese, oatmeal

THANKS FOR ALL Y0UR RESPONSES - I'm going to mix things up now! And

MAN, I can't wait until January so things are back to normal!

I also got my Saucony shoes, but have yet to try them out. I'm going
