Did anyone catch the star trek theme with the titles? Ya know, like "Captian's Log: Day --" in that famous William Shatner voice....and then he tries to work you over on getting a good deal on a hotel room for his friends?! He's not even talking to you..to talk to you, he's just in it to help out his buddies! HOW RUDE!!
Anyway, we're on Day 14. We've been working out 5 days a week. We took today off. Lately our off days have been Wednesday and Saturday. So we'll be back at it tomorrow. I prefer the treadmill. I'm up to 3.5mph for 35 minutes. I usually walk a little over 2 miles and burn over 300 calories. I know you're all very empressed. But Derek always exceeds my numbers. He does the eliptical for the full 35 minutes-which is absolutely insane, I can't even do that thing for more than 10 minutes. He does almost 3 miles and burns like 400+ calories. Lame, I know.
Our weigh in days are now Wednesdays and it sucks cuz I really want to weigh myself now. I'm enjoying eating meat again but it sucks that I can't have what I would normally cook with it. No potatoes. No bread. We've gone thru 2 boxes of brown rice in the last 4 days. Last night I made a steak-broccoli-teriyaki-stirfry and tonight I made a mexican-hamburger-rice-corn-dish. I just kinda throw stuff together until it tastes good. Sometimes I'm lucky, other's I'm not. I usually make about 4 servings at supper time so we have leftovers to eat at lunch. All our snacks still consists of fruit and veggies, but now we've started eating rice cakes and graham crackers...exciting, I know. Tonight for our evening snack Derek made "ice cream." All you do is blend a frozen banana with 1 tablespoon of milk and you've got banana "ice cream." I had him add frozen strawberries and that made it better. We just have to be more creative with what we have.
Well, that's all for now. Besides the fact that it's almost -50 degrees outside and I have to be at work by 6:30am tomorrow. At least I don't have to worry about my car starting!!!! :-)
Catch ya on the flip side!! Peace Out!!

I can't believe you guys have stuck to it for 2 weeks! It's hard enough for me to cut out pop for that long. Good Job, Tab & Derek!
"You're the meaning in my life, you're my inspiraaaaaa-ation"
I hope I can do that good! WILL POWER!
thanks you guys. oh yeah, we haven't had any pop for this long either. not even diet pop i allowed until phase 3. april, i know you'll do good. it really sucks for me, though, because I LOVE foods that are not good for you...fast food, french fries, buffalo wings, quesadillas, etc. and i crave them very often. especially when i'm cranky or pissy. if i didn't have derek to answer to, i probably would have bailed a while ago. if we come this weekend, i don't even know if he'll let me cheat at all?! so yea to WILL POWER! :-/
