Weekend dieters...

Well.. Dave & I survived our first weekend on the diet! Honestly, I think it was easier than the week days. We sleep much later, so the whole routine shifts a bit - Saturday we never got around to our afternoon fruit, and completely forgot about our cracker with lunch. Today we ate our morning fruit with our lunch, again ran out of time for the afternoon fruit, and didn't feel like we even needed our dinner cracker. We did drink a lot of herbal tea, tried some new ones that we really like. We weighed Saturday morning, and didn't lose anything, it was bound to happen, so we measured and fortunately both lost inches, so we weren't too discouraged :) This morning was our best day yet, I lost 3 lbs, Dave lost 4!!

I want to share a couple of discoveries.. First, the lettuce wrap recipe is the bomb! Be careful with the seasoning amounts however, the meat portion listed is a single portion, yet the seasoning amounts are good for two.. especially the Asian red chili sauce - Dave & I love hot food, and can take quite a bit, I would suggest if you're the least bit wimpy, to just add it after cooking, to taste. We actually had them Saturday for lunch with ground turkey, then again tonight for dinner with minced sirloin steak ~ Mmmmm!

Next.. I remembered some mineral powder sunscreen I have that is very good! The brand is Colorescience, and I order their products on http://skincarerx.com/ they have very speedy shipping which is free if you order a certain amount and are always sending coupons if you are a regular customer. They have a lot of great skincare products, but I thought the sunscreen especially would be good while on this diet!
