Week 6

This was another week of success for me. I have consistently been losing inches, but it doesn't always show up on the scale for me. This week it finally did show on the scale and I have now lost a total of 16 pounds. Sam lost again and is at a total loss of 20 pounds. We had some slip ups over Easter, but were able to get back on track on Monday. We have also attended an Ideal Protein training and know a lot more about what we are doing and why. This is truly a great program.
Good idea: Trying not to have your nightly snack later than 8pm.
Bad idea: Eating breakfast too late in the morning. Ideally you should eat within an hour of getting up.

Week 5

Another great week - but not much change for me. Sam lost a few more pounds, and I maintained, which is great. I keep plugging away and am getting ready for the next phase of the program.
Good idea: Adding bean sprouts to sautee'd veggies. They add a crunch and yummy flavor.
Bad idea: Not paying attention to ingredients listed on spices. Some of the McCormick spices have sugar added to them, and you should not use them. This includes my favorite - Mesquite. Bummer...
