Week two presented it's own challenge with Easter, but I thought that it went well overall. We stuck with our menu, and enjoyed nachos, home made nuggets, a DELICIOUS roasted chicken among other things.
The roasted chicken was probably what rocked my world the most. Not just because of the taste, but because of how much meat was left after we were both satisfied. At first I thought the price of an organic chicken was out of the question, but out of obedience, I did it! And let me tell you it more than paid off. Since then we have made the homemade nuggets, BBQ chicken Pizza, and had leftover chicken. We still have enough for at least one more chicken and rice casserole. That is four to five delicious meals out of one bird.
I am learning to make better and better choices with the menu, as I stated, the menu is key. I think that sticking to the menu is what is helping the weight fall off. Only two weeks, and I am in double digit lose.
One thing we have found that we do not care for is the organic yogurt. Give it a try, but i would have to say that it has a sort of "sticky cheese" after taste. not sure if i am going to be able to hang?!?!
With Easter dinner we both had a good helping of all the sides, but were able to resist the ham. Pork is another thing we are trying to get out of our diets, though that ham looked amazing! So many other good things to eat, that it was not hard to resist.
Eliza did get her fill of candy. I told her that she would be able to eat all that she wanted, and it was crazy, she did not eat that much. The candy was left at Great Grandma's house, since I know that in a moment of weakness, the basket would get half emptied. As my friend says, know when to have the control. For me, it is keeping the temptations out of my home to begin with.

yay, catherine! I'm really enjoying reading your progress, and I am encouraged too.
Awesome!! Are you following a specific plan/menu?? What are you doing? Where are you getting the recipes?? Details, Cammie, details!!!
Manda, i will try to start putting some menu ideas out there. basically I am just doing a planned menu. We eat Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Then a light dinner. NOTHING that is not on the menu! Period. As for what i cook, it is just good old food. We are trying to do mostly organic and low processed food. But we are not married to anything, sometimes the mac and cheese it is, ya know. I will have to tell you more as i learn more, but i just started with the planned menu with reasonable, non processed foods.
