So the diet is going good. I have found that low fat or fat free stuff isn't so bad. Tonight we made tacos with ground turkey and low sodium taco seasoning-you couldn't even tell the difference. We also had fat free refried beans (which I would eat plain or with lunch-pretty good), fat free cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, Pace taco sauce (made only with veggies and minimal sodium), and we used corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. In Phase 3, we could use whole wheat tortillas, but we can't have bread until then. We also concocked Spanish Rice using leftover cooked brown rice, a jar of salsa, corn, and some chili powder and taco seasoning. It turned out pretty good.
Derek just got done making our evening snack...are you ready for this?...."Mock Wendy's Frosty" I know, right?! Is it really possible to compare a Wendy's Frosty with a low fat, low calorie substitute?! Simply stated...yep! All that's in it is some fat free/sugar free chocolate pudding mix, a little low fat or skim milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. It's pretty amazing, let me tell you....April here's your chocolate fix that you can have in 8 more days. Hope your first day went well.
On to Valentine's Day. We didn't go anywhere fancy. I wanted to go to the Ranch, but we went to Derek's grandma's instead. She cooked a sirloin steak for me, a buffalo steak for Derek, and we had grilled asparagus and salad. Our cheats: Derek had a small crab leg-gross, and I had a small peice of french bread. It was good, but I wish I could have had more.
Oh well, in another month or so we'll be able to eat a somewhat normal meal every now and then.

Karissa utilizes that "throw a bunch of shit together and somehow make it taste awesome" philosophy, too. With all the people we know that have some kind of food skill (and I'd include a successfuly mock-frosty a skill), I'd feel left out if it weren't for the fact that I still get to eat the experiments. That being said, I think Derek is going to have to make another frosty.
Yummy! Sounds good! Yeah, our diet is going really well. The Forum says you can have 1 6 oz flavored yogart/day so that made my day, because I tried the plain yogart and I thought I was going to puke! Salads are going to get a little old, but its good so far. We also made a brown rice, veggie, bean soup for lunch. It was awesome because we added some spices and it's the most flavorable thing I've eaten in two days! I'm glad your diet is going well too!
Doug-we'll make them for all of you.
April- I almost puked too, when I tried the plain yogart. It's like soured sour cream, if there were such a thing. I'm glad you get to have flavored yogart...Derek is kinda a Diet Nazi and won't let me eat it if there's a more natural way to have it. Oh well, I love him anyways! :)
