Well, today was my granddaughter's birthday party. I ate a delicious breakfast omelet and started my errands to get ready for the party. I had to pick up snacks, drinks, ice, party favors and of course the birthday cake. I am glad she ordered chocolate so I won't feel any temptation.
While on my runarounds, I snacked on some of Jorge's flavored crackers and drank a bottle of water. I agree with Jorge's recommendation of Penta water, as it tastes cleaner than any other water I have tried.
The party was great fun, and the kids all played in a jumping castle while the adults chatted. When lunchtime rolled around, they had pizza and I had the honey mustard ham and swiss sandwich from Jorge's meal program. Since I knew I would not be able to heat it up at the park, I microwaved it before I left to melt the cheese and packed it up to take with me. At first I couldn't fathom a ham & cheese on raisin bread with honey mustard dressing, but even cold it was DELICIOUS. Although I am a pizza lover (the works), I preferred my sandwich accompanied with cherry tomatoes and pickle slice to their pizza any old day. Man was that good.
The kids stayed at the party all day but I came home early so I could spend some quiet time with my husband. With the herd of 5 living with us, we don't get much time alone let alone quiet time. In celebration, I decided to have my lobster dinner. (Yes, it's on Jorge's meal delivery program.) I fully expected a tiny piece of lobster and some other stuff to go with it to balance out my meal. Boy was I surprised when I found a whole lobster tail that I had to remove the meat from and it was very good too. Sure, I didn't have drawn butter to dip it in, but the flavor was so good that I didn't miss it at all. However, what I really oohed and aaahed over was the cranberry rice salad. The sweetness of the whole cranberries and the nutty texture and flavor made it a favorite. Accompanied with roasted sicilian vegetables, I dined in ecstasy. I commented to my husband several times that I felt like I was dining in a upper scale restaurant instead of dieting on prepackaged food. To complete my celebration, I had a wine spritzer as allowed on the program and later went to bed with a big smile on my face.
Who ever said that dieting was a painful experience?

WOW I feel like I know you since I read your blogs from the beginning. You have done great and I have no doubt you'll get to the finish line as I can see how determined you are as well as patient with yourself. I do have one question though from what I have read in your previous blogs you made your own meals but in this particular blog it seems like your eating Jorges Home Delivery Meals now. If this is so can you tell me is it expensive, are they tasty, and has the convenience of them helped you through the rough spots in your weightloss journey?
I just bid on a Avon Super Salad Blaster on EBAY because I liked what yours looked like but Avon doesn't sell them now. Hopefully I'll win the bid. BTW do you use yours for anything else. Do you have a homepage that has some of your homemade recipes or quick meals for 3HD? You trully inspire me as I can relate to your situation being 52 and menopausal also. I'd love to be able have you as a back & forth Cruise diet buddie. I could really use your support and contribute my support back when you need it. Please keep in touch Laura

Thanks for the nice comments. I know that any words of encouragement are always a plus when trying to lose weight.
I lost the weight I wanted to on Jorge's 3 Hour program and it was easy. As indicated in my blogs, the key is timing and portion control. To make things easy for folks on his plan, Jorge has an "On the Go" book which give recommendations for fast food and also posts recipes on his online site. Check it out, because it has a lot of great tools for its members.http://www.3hourdiet.
I did take the easy way and ordered Jorge's Meal at Home program to finished my weight loss. The food was delicious and easy to prepare and the fees were reasonable. They run from $20-$30 a day depending on which plan you are on. I opted for the more expensive plan because I love the gourmet meals that I could choose from. The crepes are especially delicious and this is coming from a person who never has really liked or taken the time for breakfast previously. Check out the program at http://www.3hourdietathome.co
