[Alex Cruz]

Ok so it took me a little over 2 hrs to plan this but thats because I had to stop a few times to care for the kids.. I will post later in the week my week 2 menu.
Everything on here is either Doug/Umpa's recipe or I retrieved the info from the guides.  If you see anything bad or you dont recommend that I do, let me know.. I will bake some of the goodies in the cook book and also implement some snacks.

WoW Alex, that's an impressive accomplishment with your time constraints.  Be sure to keep us posted!

[Alex Cruz]

Paula, I am so determined to get this weight off and reverse my diabeties. I am not getting any younger and its sad to say but I can feel the strain that poor eating habits have on me.. Though I have already incorporated some changes, I need to do the complete crossover and the only way is by making the time.. Last night I did some of the things that needed to be done today just so I can dedicate this time to it.. I also decided that today, I was going to focus on this and nothing else.. yay

Alex,
You are an amazing woman! With everything you have going on and with a larger family too! You're worth the effort. Thanks for making time for yourself! Praying for continued strength for you in your success and healing.

ur plan looks good..keep up the good work

[Doug Varrieur]

Hi Alex, set an extra plate, I'll be spending the week with you! Looks like a delicious week at your house....and to think we can eat this way and get skinny....who would have guessed

The only question I have for you is  Day 3 Dinner;

Doug's Bacon wrapped fillet with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli

I assume you mean cauliflower mash?

Other than that watch your portion control 

[umpa]

Looks good alex!!

[Alex Cruz]

oh yes Doug..  hahaha I wrote it just like the book says it but now I realize that I didnt put the ""..

and yes, portions are being managed.. Its like I told everyone in the house, at first you may be a little hungry, but once we get past the detox and portion ratio, we will be fine.. I also told them that if it gets to be too much, that I rather them get a piece of cheese than go crazy..

[umpa]

Put the snack trays in the fridge.They are in the book.(meatroll ups ,chicken wings,deviled eggs,etc) .That way they are getting pure protien when they feel hungry.When kids open a fridge(and umpas) they eat whats at eye level.You don't want your family to feel *hungry* especially when they are detoxing.

[Alex Cruz]

got it..
