So, I know you have ALL been wondering how our real food diet has been going. I'm sure you constantly check our blog to see if we've written a post about the results so far, right? (j/k) Well, here they are.
1) Weight
I gained a pound and then lost a pound and a half. -.5 lbs for Caron
Joel lost one pound. -1 lbs for Joel
2) Tummies
Our tummies are happy
3) Taste Buds
Our taste buds are a little bored. I need to work on finding some new recipes! We have been eating lots of beans, eggs, brown rice and fruits and vegetables...as well as some meat I accidentally overcooked (that probably did not help our bored taste buds) I have thoroughly enjoyed the homemade guacamole and pico de gallo that Joel has made, though. We also had a really good smoothie today.
4) Willpower
I have cheated 2.5 times. I'd estimate that Joel has eaten non-real food about 6 times (things like ketchup, white bread, soda...etc). I did say "no" to a chocolate lava cake the other day. That was hard.
5) Enjoyment
I like this diet because it's healthy and well rounded. I don't eat a lot of bread and fill up on beans, fruits, veggies and plain yogurt. It's nice because I don't have to think about counting calories.
There you have it folks...those are the results of week one. If you haven't voted on the poll on the upper left hand corner...DO IT! It's completely anonymous and you'll add a little joy to my day. Take a peek at these pictures before you do.
*Joel wants everyone to know that he has had to attend 2 picnics and 2 banquets. He does have willpower:)
