This week is going great so far--despite all three of us coming down with a cold. John and I are running an 8k this weekend if my cold goes away. Anyway, we feel great otherwise!
Tuesday night I made Broiled seabass and mango salsa, greenbeans, and some more risotto. The dinner was really good--although we are so used to tons of olive oil and Goya before, so the greenbeans were hard to eat. I have to find some ways to spice up veggies a bit.
Last night I was a bad mommy and wife--I didn't really make any dinner because I really wasn't feeling good. AJ was kind of sick and cranky and I just heated up leftovers for him and John and I ate Hummus on pita and enjoyed some herbal tea.
Tonight I'm making cajun shrimp stirfry!
Lauren brought up a good point in her comment in my last blog entry--NO ALCOHOL! What we have learned is we aren't willing to give up certain things. Technically we aren't supposed to eat cheese, but the way I figure it is if we eat clean MOST of the time, we can reward ourselves by eating a little cheese. AJ loves cheese and I'm not going to deprive him of this, especially since it's so yummy! As far as alcohol goes, they have sulfite free wine that we can drink, but we rarely drink as it is anymore, I'm thinking the occasional drink once a month or so would be ok. No way am I giving up alcohol in social settings!
All in all, this is a lifestyle that we intend to follow most of the time, but I expect to allow ourselves treats every now and then! I mean really, what is life without cheesecake or a tall cold beer in the summer!
