BIG day at ACC today as we ordain new senior pastors, new elders, and set in our children's pastors. :) God is making all things new and helping EACH of us reach optimum health so we can partner with the fresh wind of God blowing across the earth.
I am down 1/2 pound today, even after eating out last night. Although there was oil and butter on my salmon and veggies, I still had no sugar nor starch. I was scared that I might gain, but actually lost. Those on Phase 2, you will get to maintenance and eat normally soon. :) However, our new normal will look and feel differently. People were saying last night, "Oh, I wish I could be good like you." I just smiled, because I've said that 1,000 times, but in my heart I was screaming, "I choose LIFE!" No food tastes as good as living a long, healthy life feels. Right?
One of our family members shared this yesterday and we are always looking to help one another:
Also, something to pass along to the family. I've made some Whey Protein
shakes and they are something a little different and filled with 26 g of
protein per serving. 0 grams of fat and 0 grams of sugar. Stevia is also
an ingredient.
One serving is 110 calories. I'm on phase 2 so I've made one serving and
added a pkg. of stevia and either strawberries or cocoa. I blend some
water and a few ice cubes and there you go. It is different and a little
after taste, but keeps me going. I can see in other phases being able to
add some yogurt and even later some peanut butter and when bananas are
allowed too - and other fruits.
The whey protein powder I found at a local herb shop is:
Whey 26 Protein by Vitalabs, INC.
I saw three flavors:
French Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. I bought the French vanilla so I
could use that as a base and add my own flavorings. A little costly
though: container 29.68 oz costs me $39.95 plus tax. ( 28 servings per
container). But, something different and perhaps more fun on other phases as
I can mix up more food items.

Love you WAY more than I ever tell you, PK
