Menu - Week 6

Phew! After 2 weeks of clean eating, I'm back! I learned a lot, but I'm ready to have some of my regular recipes back!!

Here is the menu for the week:
Sunday: Artichoke and Tomato Pasta w/Cream Sauce

Monday: Shrimp Stir-Fry over Quinoa (Gluten-free, Clean)

Tuesday: Chicken Salad

Wednesday: Green Minstrone Soup (Vegetarian)

Thursday: Turkey Tenderloin w/baked Sweet potato and Broccoli

Friday and Saturday: We're going to be soaking up the sun (or, according to the forecast, the rain...) in Southern California with Miss Patty!

I will try to post as many of the recipes as I can. Happy Valentine's Day!

Blog Break Update!

So, when I posted my menu and said that I wouldn't be blogging for a while...I still had every intention of providing updates! However, that isn't the way it worked. So, here is the update. I have been "eating clean" for 4 days (this is day 5). I lost 3lbs in those 4 days. Needless to say, I am sort of sold on this program! I feel wonderful; I don't get cravings for bad food; the weight loss is starting to show.

It's sort of amazing. And it's really not a diet. It is just a system of showing you how to make the right food choices and not feel like you are dieting. Processed foods and sugar are out (for the most part). My goal after these two weeks is to "eat clean" 75-80% of my life. I noticed visible results by day 2!

So, next week, I'll be sharing some "clean recipes".

Of course, I hate making posts (besides menus) without a picture. It's FREEZING this week! Zoey and Cooper are in their new sweaters, but she still feels the need to hunker down next to a heating vent. Poor little Yihuahua (or is it Chorky? I don't know, but she usually just looks like a cartoon character!) Off to snuggle the dog!
