I've seen this recipe on the HcgDieters Yahoo Group it's Post #186062 if you want to check it out. It looks sssooooo good. I think it will hit the spot for something sweet/dessertish. I think I'm going to try it on Sunday or Monday!

P3/P4 Food Ideas
These where items that where suggested on the Yahoo group to eat when out of P2.
gluten free, sugar-free items, such as blueberry muffins, cheddar bacon muffins, fried cinnamon oopsies, regular oopsies: for grill cheddar/ham sandwiches or other sandwiches, mini pizzas and hamburger buns.

Strawberry Freeze
Allowed amount of Strawberries
Liquid Stevia to taste (or your preferred sweetner)
juice from 1/3 of lemon or to taste (optional I use rest of lemon to make a lemonade)
I usually double this and split the 2 servings into ramkins so I have 2 days of my fruit ready to go.
Using my majic bullet I place strawberries, stevia and squeeze in juice from lemon. Blend untill smooth. Pour into ramkins and freeze.
Add In Ideas:
Use flavored Stevia, or preferred sweetner
Use SF DaVinci Syrups to add other flavors such as Huckleberry in P3/P4
Add other berries in P3/P4

Grissini
Apple...I used 1/3rd of my apple and 1/2 of my Celery serving to make Dizzy's Salad. I used Rice Vinager instead of Apple Cider. I also had to adjust the measurements since I am taste testing before I make a whole batch. I didn't use the mustard or Braggs since I don't have any.

My Holiday Interruption
During my Holiday Interruption I gained over my LDW. I had way to many Starbuck Carmel Light Fraps. I'm good with it as I know I will loose it now that I'm back in P2.
I have till Jan. 31st to loose the weight I gained on my interruption. I am also hoping I will make it to the goal I'd set for myself which is 120 lbs. I have to go into P3 so I will be in P4 in March for my birthday. So no more interruptions for me and no more Carmel Light Fraps...well at least until March when I'm in P4 :0)!
I will stay intentional! I will follow P&I 100% while on VLCD as I always have. I've only strayed off P3 while on my interruptions as there is no "official rules" during interruptions. 120 here I come LOL!
