Two Weeks In and Not Looking Back!

A friend messaged me on Facebook to see how my week was, so I thought it was a good time as any to check in and update everyone on my progress.  I have lost 14 pounds since I started this diet almost two weeks ago, 35 total since my late Feb/early March.  I don't miss the dairy, sugar, or processed foods at all!! I snack on fruits, veggies, nuts, drink a lot of water, feel full quickly, and am not missing any of the junk!! If I go out to eat, I have been sticking to salads or vegetarian options, just to be on the safe side.  If I eat meat, it is boneless, skinless chicken and lean ground turkey.  I am really happy with my progress so far and I don't believe that I will be returning to my former eating habits again!


Here is what I am making next week:


Split Pea Soup


Low Fat, Low Cal Spinach Quiche

• substitution--no cheese--I have cheddar and mozzarella rice shreds--pretty good for fake cheese :)
• no eggbeaters-I use egg white substitute
• no ham -I have turkey bacon in the freezer
• shockingly, I have no broccoli, but I have a ton of other veggies, so I am sure there will be more than spinach in my quiche!

Chicken Vegetable Casserole

• I will be adding my own combo of veggies and fake cheese, but using the recipe as a guideline :)

Kale Chips

I am going to try this recipe.  This is completely different from how I made them last time.  We shall see which one we like better!

Quinoa Primavera



Leah introduced me to Quinoa on our last visit and I found this recipe and I am going to try it!  I do not have fresh garlic or peppers, but I will make due with what I have!


I will be giving away a jar of Better N Peanut Butter and a package of Flat Out Bread to the first person submitting a recipe that I make and will feature on my blog!  So, get those recipes in!!!


Have a great weekend everyone!
