Yummy Tip

Yum, yum, YUM!!! I have to share this "tip" with everyone. One of the things that SAVED my on this diet is this yummy snack from Provident Pantry. My favorite is the freeze dried peaches. These cans are HUGE and have 20+ servings per can. I used a serving as one of my fruit servings for the day and would often save it for a movie treat. It was great to have something to crunch and they taste SO GOOD. If you let a little bit of air get to them they soften a bit and get really chewy. YUM!

I Heart....

One of my "finds" on this diet is the Walden Farms products. I got mine at the Sprouts grocery down the street, but I know they can also be found at Henry's. They are SO yummy! It is unbelievable that the products have zero calories, fat, sugars, etc. The dressings come in jars, as well as individual packets, so I always kept a couple of varieties in my purse. Much more satisfying than straight vinegar when you're out! The cocktail sauce added just the right touch to shrimp and crab cocktails. Since I have a major sweet tooth, I also LOVED the caramel dip. A sliced apple at night dipped in the dip SAVED me some nights. Happy dipping!
***We received our first shipment today of HCG and have been busy labeling and shipping all day today! We have a few left so let me know asap if you are interested.

It's On It's Way!

We got good news today...our first shipment is on it's way. It should be arriving by the end of next week. This shipment is almost all "spoken for", so if you're interested let me know asap. Today was my last "drop" day for this round. Luckily for me, it is really hot here in So Cal right now and that usually dampens my appetite. Hopefully, it won't be too hard to do the 500 calorie days without the HCG. I've already told my friends that if my eye is twitching on Sunday at church, it's just 'cause I'm really hungry. Monday morning the kids start school (yipee!) and I am already looking forward to my annual girlfriend breakfast after we get the kids off to their new classes. Yummy omelet, here I come! Phase 3 will be interesting. Matt has kept his weight off while not strictly adhering to the phase 3 rules-he's had breads and starches. Overall, he is eating better, but he's still eating a lot and the weight is still staying off. I know I won't be so lucky so I'm really planning to stick to this part of the diet too. I don't want all my hard work to go to waste :)
***Tip of the Day: I couldn't have done this diet without the Kirkland brand pre-cooked, sliced chicken breast (in the refrigerated section) from Costco. It has such a good flavor and is so convenient.
