3 days and counting

Hi Gang,
Only a few days left before the challenge, I've been getting cold feet. I'm so glad that there is another 8 other girls going through this with me - which is keeping me comitted. I've forgotten why I thought this was a good idea... I'm in the process of weaning off caffine, the headache yesterday is probably from the overdosing of all things I will miss... I do plan to cut back over the weekend so I'm not miserable on Monday, but I think I'll go for a nice Beef Tenderloin & creamy risotto tonight, red wine and dessert -I've been dreaming of this as if it's my last meal! I need to get focused, plan my meals, and head to Whole foods for my next lesson in food. In the mean time here are some questionable items -wondering if they are allowed....What do you guys think?
Hummas (store brand)
Corn Tortillas
Wasabi
Vinegar
Mustard
Cornstarch
Cornmeal or Polenta
Mirin
Capers
Salsa
Tomato paste
Tomato Juice
Canned Tuna
Keifir
Kasha (is this Buckwheat)
Sparkling Water
Panko
Rye
Spelt
Kamut
Bran
Oat Bran

There are some great recipes in the studio for those of you who need ideas. Please feel free to post any great ideas you have. I've got a few meals in mind for myself, but I'm going to have to do some thinking...
