Day 2 is complete and I have not at all planned for the rest of the week. I am wondering how this is going to work for me. I'm used to cooking all my foods for the week on Sunday and then I may cook again on Wednesday or Thursday night depending on how much time I have. The way that the Zone has been going it seems like I have to cook each meal one at a time. I know that it's difficult because I'm following a meal plan from this One Week on the Zone book. It's making it harder than it should be.
I'm still confused about how to create my own Zone meals. How many blocks can I use?? How do I make cookable meals?? Anyone have any advice about how they have created their food?
Tomorrow I will be cheating for dinner and my second snack. I know that I'm supposed to stay strict for my first two weeks, but it is New Years. I just don't have willpower that strong!!

Check out the Chili I posted - double or triple the recipe and you have dinner for a week :)
I got the recipe from here:

A few months ago I actually collected all of these recipes together into a Word document, and printed them out and made a binder out of them. I think I have the Word File at work - I'll email it to you next time I'm in the office!
Awesome! Thanks Cara. How is the diet going for you?
Well - I'm planning on starting tomorrow, since tonight would be a bust (going out for NYE with friends). Now if only my protein powder would arrive in the damn mail, I'd be good to go!!!
I'll let you know how things are going after a few days on it! How're you feeling on it?
I've been really good up until today. My meals have been smaller than the other days, so I'm really hungry. Really really hungry and on edge too! Not a pretty sight.
I can't wait to have food.
Hey - one day at a time, and remember - if you "mess up" with one meal or snack, you can always get right back on the diet!
