    At a quick glance, it looks like you said Hoes. LMAO!!!!! Yeah I know, only me. Hahahahahaha!!!

    Anyway, I don't have all my goodies yet, but I will get them today. Funny, the first thing I thought about was my turkey sammie I eat most every morning.....even told my bestie this morning that I may have to ease out of this challenge since I'm a high protein meat girl. Soooooooo, here I am. Nothing beats a failure, but a try, so I will give it my all and see how it goes. The worse part for me will probably be the fish oil.....it makes me sick every time I take it which I why I don't anymore. I heard there's a new brand out now that doesn't have the fish after taste so I will look that up. I wasn’t able to get to the store last night, so I worked my fridge and pantry. I will see how I feel by the end of the day. Will keep you posted.

    So, I officially started today... I'm using coconut oil as a sub for MCT Oil... I went to two stores yesterday and they looked at me like I was crazy when I asked them if they had MCT Oil...lol! Anywho, I'll probably order the MCT oil sometime today. I've had my serving of fruit and one tablespoon of Coconut oil... I'm going to save that delicious fiber for lunch....


    you drank the coco oil?????? O_o.. lol... okay then ..

    Yeah... I can't stomach it any other way... LOL... I hate it on my food... I've taken it this way in the past for it's health benefits as well.

    On day 3 and I feel good! I am shocked that this raw fiber hasn't mademy belly hurt. So far so good!! And I haven't given in and eaten the fish either!! :smile: I did notice during my workout that I don't have quite as much energy as I normally would. I'm gonna try eating a little extra today, maybe extra beans or something really hearty.

    Day 1 wasn't bad for me other than just feeling hungry most of the day. I didn't get to eat my first meal until 10:30am. So that was a big part of the problem. But no dizzy spells nor did I feel like I was lacking energy. I made sure to eat meal one earlier today. The only thing I don't have is the MCT Oil so I'm headed to the store soon to get some coconut oil. I ate tilapia & cooked kale for the first time last night. Love it! I seasoned it with fresh squeezed lime juice, cayenne pepper and added a little red onion. So yummy. My goal is to complete 10 days of this challenge. As next Friday I have a special guest coming in town and we're off to Monterey CA to enjoy the beach for the weekend. Lots of seafood to be eaten among other things. lol. :tongue:

    Day 2: I am so determined to do this, so today went by okay. I however unknowingly cheated as i thought coffee was allowed!
    Sorry, i had plain black coffee on both days. No more coffee. My husband wants to test my willpower, he brought home
    my favourite candy. Lord help me! :tongue:

    Day 2: Is going pretty good. I have had a few wth moments..with the fish oil and thickness of my vegetables thanks to the slop. I guess I have to figure out how to chug it, cause I can't do it on the vegetables. Got the email mct oil has shipped so hopefully I will get it soon. What's for dinner?

    Day 2: part way there! Only 1 black coffee, lots of frozen fruits and veggies today. Only almonds so far in the protein category, but I don't have any oil yet, so...need to get on that! Head is aching now - I'll try more water.

    I finally tracked down coconut oil at Trader Joe's. Its all orgnanic. Only its not liquid form like most oils. So I had to put it in the microwave to melt it so I could mix up my dressing. I actually like it tho. So it gets a thumbs up from me. I kind of combined meals 3 & 4. ((I was hungry as a hostage)) lol. I also had a 1/2 cup of jalapeno black beans with my salad because I do not want to pass out in my RIPPED class tonight.

    You ladies are doing Fantastic, I love hearing your stories!

    Day 2 was another success. I made it over 1200 calories and am feeling pretty good. I see some of you using actual fish oil. I am taking the gel caps is it the same or no? MCT oil still hasn't arrived but, I am still kicking. Workout was good felt light headed doing the weighted squats but, I slowed down drank some water and was back at it. I hope the rest of the days are like this. Have a great evening and thank you Crys for this Challenge. Smooches!!!

    I Had a migraine all morning. But it's getting better think its from the lack of caffeine used to having coffee every morning

    I did really well yesterday... I made the smoothie (dinner) last night and added the fiber in... it's not bad this way. I made a smoothie this morning as well. I'm probably going to take the fiber that way from now on, I wasn't grossed out at all.... I added coconut oil to the smoothie but I forgot that is goes back to the solid form when it's cold... oops... LOL!

    I'm not doing too bad. I have "alterations" because I'm in a juicing challenge. I hide the fiber in my fruit/veggie smoothie . . . it actually tastes good.

    Day 3: a coffee again today, but just one, all black. Lots of green tea, too, even though it's not on the list (is it?) I found it in lots of raw lists. My day has been 75% raw - yay!
    Tons of water, and a bit of fish today to hold off the hunger. Have a headachey feel, but it's not too extreme. 600 calories left in my day - don't know quite how to meet that on veggies, but I'll figure something out.
    Keep on keeping on, people. Adding in more cardio tomorrow, cutting out the coffee, and continuing to up thye % of raw!

    Day 3 for me and today I felt hungry all day. I stuck with it though and will be having my pears from here on out. Thought I was doing something good by cutting them out, nope NEGATIVE! My oil came in tonight and I had 2tbls with dinner. I did 45mins of cardio and 15 cups of water.
    You ladies doing this w/o the fish are the business I would never have made it this far without it. Keep it up! 3 down and 11 more to go! Let's get it ya'll!

    Tried the "hide the fiber" idea tonight, and decided to hide veggies, MCT oil in too! Not bad - except now I'm wide awake! Oil in the morning - RIGHT!!!!

    Have you tried adding it to a smoothie? Much easier to get down!!!

    Better day today! No coffee, steamed/raw veggies and balanced of fruit. Lots of raw. Planning on some fish tonight, but don't have Tilapia, so Haddock will have to do. Still a bit of a headache, but have the the fiber and MCT oil (different brand name - sorry!) 40 minutes on the bike, outside in the sunshine on the way home!
