Fourth Challenge Notes:

 -  Started January 28th 2001.

 - This challenges goals are 18% body fat, visible abs, and an impressive back.

 - I don't run at all now that I'm done with the marathon. I may have permanently damaged my IT Band.

 - I discovered Luna Bars, Lo-Carb Bars & Cooking Light Magazine which has improved the quality of my eating.  - In the first 4 weeks of my challenge I took BetaLEAN and it was not a pretty story. I turned into a psychotic MEAN woman who was considering abandoning everything important in my life for no apparent reason. That ephedra is nasty stuff.

 - I finally got up the nerve to call the local modeling school (they need mom's too, right?) They seem to think I have a good chance of being a booking model. I'll keep you posted.

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.
