Second Challenge Notes:

 - I see some reshaping in the pictures, but overall I'm disappointed in my results. I definitely could have done better. I think Ritz Crackers are banned from the house for the next challenge!

 - I've also decided to train for the Disney Marathon in January 2001 so my cardio has changed from the 20 Minute Cardio Solution to distance running. I don't do kick boxing anymore.

 - Mike is 5'7" and weighs 145. He didn't lose any weight during the challenge, but he gained a lot of muscle and his waist size went from almost out of a 32 down to a 30 again - he's wearing pants he wore when we got married! (he swore I shrunk those pants) The absolute best part is his cholesterol dropped 50 points! *whew* I was getting worried for a while there.

 - The supplements I use or have used are Myoplex Lite Bars, Symetry Bars (from Vitamin World) Myoplex Lite Shakes, Phen Free and Udo's Choice Blend of Oils. Mike uses Symetry Bars, Myoplex Deluxe shakes, Udo's and Phosphagen HP.

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.
