Good Morning Everyone!!
I got on the scale this morning and I am so close to getting into 126's. Just a few ounces away!! And I did not workout yesterday! I will do my run today and JM (Jillian Michaels) 6week 6 Pak, then tomorrow start stage 4 of New Rules of Lifting for Women and JM's again.
I have always felt I needed more focus on my abds than what NROL4W has in their program, even though, the author says every exercise has an effect on the abs because of the way the tendon/muscles are connected from head to foot. I just know, I got really good results when I was doing JM DVD and NROL4W...even more so, than the ab machines at the gym.
I did a pre-measure a couple of days ago and it seemed that I really haven't gotten smaller around the waist, even though, my mirror reflects that I have. The true, true measurements will be taken on Thursday and Friday. I will measure myself on Thursday and then I have an appointment on Friday with the trainer I had in 2011. She is going to measure me so I can compare. I want to make sure I am measuring correctly! And hopefully, her measurements will not be inches increased from mine!
RECIPES
Veggie Protein Smoothie
1/2 - 1 cup Cold Water
1/2 c. Low Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 Scoop Protein Powder (I use Costco Vanilla 100% Whey Concentrated & Isolated Whey Protein Powder, comes in a bag)
2 packets of Stevia Sweetner
1 T Peanut Butter
Blend in Blender
Add: 2 cups of Baby Spinach Leaves
Blend all together
Add: 1 small frozen banana
3 frozen strawberries (I get mine at Costco...Kirkland Frozen Strawberries)
Blend all together. A great smoothie after a workout! Or a meal replacement! Add ice to the blending if you want the smoothie to be a thicker consistency.

For a variety, you can use any flavors of the Fat-Free Sugar-Free Pudding Mix. You can add 1 t. peanut butter to a chocolate or butterscotch flavor, you can add strawberries to the cheese cake flavor, you can add 1/2 banana to the Banana Cream flavor, any fruit to the vanilla flavor.
Depending on what you decided to make, the calculations of the below would be a little different. You can go to Food, then Recipes, then Create Recipe, and you can put in your ingredients and get your calculations. Save to your Database.
Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich
40 T Whipped Topping (2T - 25 calories)
3 Scoops Vanilla Protein Whey Powder (Again, I use Costco's)
48 Whole Graham Crackers (I shop at Winco Grocrey Store and get the brand, Hy-Top Graham Crackers)
Gently mix the Protein Powder and Whipped Topping together.
Use 1 T of the mix per graham cracker...put another graham craker on top...just like a ice cream sandwich.
Put all on a flat baking sheet and put in the freezer until frozen. Take out and store in several gallon freezer bags or whatever you might want to store them...in the freezer.
Makes 48 ice cream sandwiches. Makes a great snack and the kids will love them! Again, you could have a variety of flavors...using the Fat-Free Sugar-Free Pudding Mixes. Whatever you decide to add, then re-do the calculations, as stated above.

Visulize a plate-full of yumming desserts as you read the quote for the day.

Meaning.....that plate-full of dessert, is not food!
Have a great day!
