I Hope You Will See Less of Me Soon!

     So I've decided to go back on the Lindora plan only without going to Lindora, which is too expensive.  Several years back when I was actually going to Lindora I lost a considerable amount of weight, only I never got to the maintenance phase because it was just too darned expensive.  So I'm going to follow the food plan on my own, eating normal food instead of their packaged products (which you can do anyway even if you go to the center).
     The only things I won't get are the vitamin shots they give (but I figure I can take vitamins myself),  and the accountability by weighing-in at the clinic.  Soooo....I think I'm going to start blogging about this to keep my nose clean!  The only thing is that I am going to keep the actual poundage to myself at present time because that part is just a little too private!
      For the first 2 to 3 days I have to do all-protein.  So far so good today.  I just devoured a load of chicken for lunch.  (They do have a vegan option for you non-meat people, but I'm not into tofu).  I already feel better, which is probably just a mental thing.  After the protein days, I do the weight-loss menu, which then adds in fruits and veggies.
      I just stocked up on protein goodies from the market.   I also checked out Trader Joe's.  Found a few interesting items there, and some protein bars that I can snack on at work.  With the Lindora plan, the idea is to eat 6 times a day, with 3 meals and 3 snacks.  This kind of system has always worked better for me with my headache problem.
     Trader Joe's is an interesting place.  Quite an eclectic group of people shopping there.  You've got my types -- the overweight people looking to get healthy.  Then you've got the diehard moms who would rather die than to let their children eat a McDonald's Happy Meal.  Then there are the "nature people" (aka hippies) who look like they stepped right out of Woodstock and fast-forwarded to 2012.  I just know that if Yul Gibbons were still alive, he'd be shopping at Trader Joe's!
