you are right, never ever let the bacon supply dwindle, or the cheese supply either.
i am all excited too. I cant belive the similarities between us, it is great!!!!
47 is not old at all. i have 2 boys age 11 and 12.
i have been doing this for 3 months now and have a few hints about what is avalible in our supermarkets.
kavli crispy thin crackers are a must. they are in a red packet and i get them at woolies. i think big fresh carry them too. i use them for pizza base and for pate, cheese etc.
today i made cookies out of peanut butter, almond meal, gluten flour and splenda.They are good but really crumbly.
cottees have diet sauces. and yesterday i discovered ICECREAM!!!!!!!!!
with only 5.4 g carb per serve. it is made by dairy bell and has a yellow lid. mmmmmm i had it with the cottees caramel sauce.
we should work out how the chat facility works so that we can chat, (a statement of the obvious)
did you take your measurements before you started? i did and they go down even if my weight doesnt. It can be very encouraging at times in times of distress.
o yeah, the color of the strips change depending on when you do them. I usually find that they are at their darkest right before dinner( for me that is about 7pm) they are beige in the morning and moderate in the arvo. As you can tell i am a compulsive tester. It is better than weighing yourself as it is proof positive that you are evaporating fat. Even if it doesnt look like you are, THE STRIPS DONT LIE!!
my body shape has changed alot even though i have only lost4 kg, but i can do 200 crunches (different kinds of crunches) which i ccould not do before. My tummy used to get in the way. hehehehe sad but true.
i withdrew like a heroin junkie from coffee in the first week.I was great after that, my skin looks great and i feel so healthy, best of all i dont get that ravenous hunger that i used to feel. I must be so much easier to live with. It is great to have a buddy. Have you thought about starting a journal? I have one, it is in the journal bootcamp section under the n to s area. Check it out if you want.
looking forward to hearing from you soon.
