Week 2: Better Than Bacon!

“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”-Doug Larson

This has been a pretty great week! I stuck to my guns and only ate fruits, veggies, beans, nuts, and seeds--and believe me, I ate A LOT of them.  I actually just counted, and I have 22 different kinds of fresh and frozen fruits and veggies in my house right now!

The best part was, at least for this week, following the plan wasn't even difficult! I ate soups and salads and stews and smoothies and every single thing I ate was DELICIOUS! My favorite thing of the week was probably the lovely minted pea soup I made.  I could literally eat it every day.  And get this, it had lettuce in it! I have never had lettuce in a soup, but it was fabulous!

Other menu items were southwest veggie stew, zucchini and spinach soup, green smoothies, hummus with veggies, and lots of fresh fruit! If everyone could knew how good fruits and veggies could taste, maybe they would eat more! I love bacon, but this week, my veggies were better than bacon!

I also was able to get back into the groove of exercising.  It felt great to work out everyday!

With all the exercising and healthy eating, I saw some really positive results--I lost 4.6 pounds! Obviously, I am really happy with those results, though I know that I won't see such a dramatic drop each week.  It's nice to see hard work pay off!

Here's to another week of healthy living!

Pounds lost: 4.6
Pounds left to lose: 25.4
