Today is my first day of the second phase of the "Priming" stage and I feel so prepared. Here's what I'm eating today:

BF: 1/2 grapefruit, oatmeal, Canadian bacon
Sn: Protein Powder
L: Chicken salad (homemade w/pineapple), 1 slice of whole wheat bread
Sn: Protein Powder w/frozen berries
Dinner: Chicken Breast or Fish Fillet, green beans sauteed in EVO, and apples and onions again sauteed in EVO (one of the recipes in the book-sounds good, hope it is).

I rely a lot on protein powders because I have a hard time getting in enough protein - I really don't eat a lot. I did want to try the Metabolic Drive Complete and the bars but when I called around to a couple of places to try to see if they carried this line I had no success. Maybe I'll go on line to see if I can buy it.

Glendora: If this doesn't work for people over 40, I'm in big Trouble, since I'm in the over 40 group. Actually I got on the scale this a.m. and have dropped two lbs. and this is after only the first week, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. I was already very motivated from reading the book and from LynDee's success doing this and now I'm even more motivated.
