Total Loss: 31.8 lbs

My husband is now on my journey. I'm doing okay. I think seeing so many people I follow going into P3 made it a bit hard to sit still on p2. heh. It's the cheese.

I think I was semi-challenged this week with temptation. My husband loading was a feast to the eyes for me. I don't physically crave the stuff, but I do mentally. I was hoping to be mentally immune to all foods I can't have. :P

We bought more spices yesterday! I looked at 'mixed' spices and they all are p2 okay. I thought that would 'spice' things up a little. I also bought the 'apple pie spice' for my hubby who loves apply pie, but he will have to do w/o the cream. hehe. He was a little sad when we put down the steaks w/o the sauce, but once he ate it he was okay. He loves sauces. I have to admit- I'm a sauce fan too. To me they can cover up the flavor of the food, so that is my challenge to myself to learn that foods need to be exposed. I remember the Saturday morning Egg guy - "Don't drown your food" hehe. Now who else remembers that?

Next Saturday will be my b-day. We are having dinner at my parents. We will see what they do. I want to make everyone something yummy. LIke I said before.. we don't eat dragon poop. We actually eat some amazingly tasteful foods that everyone else seems to water over.

I'm going to try a roast this Saturday for 4 of us on the VLCD and 2 guys who are not. We will see how it turns out. Everyone brings their own side.

OH! I made a lemontini last night! Virgin style. Heh. So I took a lot of ice, filled our little personal blender w/ it. Crushed it a bit, then added 1/2 cup water, 1/2 lemon squeezed juice, 5 drops of the stevia lemon (next time just plain stevia) and mixed it. Put it in a martini glass, and garnished it with a slice of lemon. MMMMMM. I felt so grown up! :)hehe. My son came over and could drink some, he eventually Bogart'ed it and took all the ice. :) It was cute, I later gave him BIG ice and he wanted it crushed like mommy. He sat w/ a spoon enjoying it. He loves ice.
