First Challenge Notes:

 - I went on a 4 day Disney Cruise in the 9th week - I'm not even going to pretend that I stuck to the program during that time. I did the cardio, but hello? cruise food? I ate it.

 - I do the 20 minute cardio solution as described in the book three times a week and work out with weights three times a week, one of those times is with a personal trainer who keeps trying to convince me to do more cardio, but I'm not going to.

 - I do take a kick boxing class on Monday nights that kicks my butt! Love it!

Raylene's Jello

Here's a FANTASTIC snack I made up/adapted from others:

1 packet Sugar Free Jello - Your favorite flavor
2 cups low- or no-fat cottage cheese
1 serving of vanilla protein powder
1 can or about 2 servings of fresh fruit

Blend cottage cheese and protein powder together in the blender. While it blends, boil one cup of water and If your fruit is canned, drain and run under water to rinse off excess sugars. Divide the fruit between 4 containers (I use the glad throwaway containers - they are just the right size).

When water boils add it to jello and dissolve. Slowly add the jello to cottage cheese/protein powder mixture and let the blender run for about a minute.

Pour the cottage cheese mixture evenly between the 4 containers.

Chill for 4 or more hours. Add a dollop of Redi-whip to the top and enjoy (real whipped cream, come on - it's only 20 calories, 2g fat, less than 1 carb).

It's SO SO SO good and I can't even explain it. It's like mousse with little bits of nirvana in it. I do this with:
 - Orange Jello & Mandarin Orange Slices
 - Lime jello and crushed pineapple
 - strawberry jello and peaches
 - cranberry jello & fresh raspberries
For a real treat add 2/3 cups of strawberries to the cottage cheese mixture along with the jello and pour over fresh strawberries.
