On a whole though, it wasn't as awful as I was expecting it to be. Menu-wise, I found it harder to actually remember to eat than anything else. I'm not used to all those little meals and snacks and found myself an hour behind schedule on more than one occasion. Thankfully, I never really felt like I was missing out on anything. The meals were pretty kick ass and have actually inspired us to be more creative with future meals. I've been wolfing down some of the best sidedishes we've ever made so there's no way I'm leaving them behind after all this is over. I'm also consuming more fruits and vegetables than I probably ever have and that feels pretty good. A lot of my tummy problems have been kicked to the curb too which I suspect has to be a direct result of a better diet. Cooking has actually started to feel interesting and productive to me instead of this chore facing me at the end of the day.
Wish me luck for the rest of this whole silly process! A big family function this weekend could prove a bit of a test as will a birthday lunch for a co-worker at Deluxe -- the happiest place on earth and my Achilles' heel. Oh chicken-on-a-bun dinner -- why did they make you so perfect??

He-weasel and I loved your Moroccan salad. I will make it again. See, some of your good habits are rubbing off on me. And, I have had no ice cream.
Congrats on your success and for sharing your process and recipes with us. And, I wish you luck as you face temptation. Pack some of your delicious salad in your bag and sneak it on your plate---and you will be fine.
I'm just starting the same thing! I really need to lose 10 lbs. You sound like you are off to a great start!
If someone could eat some Sunchips for me that would be great........mmmmm.....Sunchips.....
I'm spring-cleaning my regime too. Have been going to a nutritionist and have lost 20lbs! And I'm not feeling deprived at all.
Week 3 was the hardest - when the novelty wore off and the goal seemed a long way out. Hang in there!
