Dear Guest....
I started with the one month starter kit in Chocolate and after the second week was already planning my second order.
Being overly organized, I baggie up all my MF goods when I get them. Then I divide them up into containers with a weeks supply in them.
Each night before I go to bed, I pull out tomorrows baggie to see if I need to make soup or oatmeal in the morning. Making sure I always have my baggie and a shaker jar is good too. I like to make my soup or oatmeal in the morning and put it in a little thermos or container - that way everything is good and hydrated when I re-heat it at work.
I try, try and TRY to get my supplements in every 2 to 3 hours. Sometimes, I forget and go to long and trust me, I know and it hurts.
My friends, family and co-workers are cool with giving me some notice about lunch out and dinners. My friends even ask what they can make when I go over to their houses and I have no problem taking soup or a bar or a shaking if I have already had my L&G for the day.
In my super control world, I get the big frozen chicken breast pack at Costco and split it up right away into indivdual freezer bags. Same with read meats -- in fact......OMAHA STEAKS ROCKS! If you can afford it, you can order the perfect size pork, steak and humburger patties (the chicken is real expensive)....So, all I do it take a bag from the freezer at night and into the fridge it goes to defrost for dinner the next night - -then it is salad or veggies for me! The George Foreman is KING in my kitchen!
I try to eat dinner between 6 and 8 so I can have a shake or hot chocolate before bed....I was having a bar but was advised against them first thing in the morning or right before bed so I am now changing that...
Water is my new best friend with these boards -- don't forget the water -- even if you have to pound it --- JUST DO IT!!
Take time to read the Quick Start Guide and keep going back too it - it will help you -- you can photocopy or make a cheat sheet to take with you too...and well, this Forum is seriously a Godsend.........everyone here gets it and that is so much better than a WW meeting or JC consultant.
Never fear calling MF or asking questions and even if you slip up - just keep shaking and the scale will go down.
Did that help - I hope? Welcome and congrats on making this choice - if you work it and stick to it, you will be so amazed.
