Day 2....everyone obeyed the rules. Sophia loves the tofu sour cream - she didn't flinch, even wanted to still lick the spoon. Victory. Matt enjoyed a dairy free shrimp burrito --not missing it a bit.
We're both finding that we're not hungry in the afternoon like we usually are around 3pm. Is it possible that the veggies keep you fuller longer than all that meat???? Is it possible that the usual sugar intake causes us to have more need for intake sooner?
I've already decided that if my thighs disappear this 30 days I'll forever be a vegetarian. AND I'm going to start my own weight loss program ---V90X. Who wants to work out for one hour a day and bust their butt on P90X, when you can enjoy FABULOUS food, workout average, and still loose your butt?
The most difficult obstacle right now is getting the girls to eat the menu. Sophia does a good job, but Tori - who has always been picky - may be starving. Well, we won't let her starve, but she's not getting much variety. Maybe she'll learn to eat what's given her after V90X.

Lentil Soup on International Steroids
BAM! First dinner made under new management rules and I knocked it out of the park. Sweet Potato Lentil Stew---had the flavor of an Indian cuisine. The smell as I was cooking it told me it was a winner.
Everyone obeyed the rules EXCEPT there was communication glitch and company for dinner. Blaine brought thin mint cookies for dessert, which the girls saw. Matt gave them one while I was at bunco BUT he abstained!! Yeah for abstinence. So at least 2 out of 4 get the gold star for the day. I'll probably give the girls one too because it wasn't their fault contraband was brought into the house.
If the decision was based on taste, flavor and quality, after tonight's supper there's no going back!
Tomorrow.....Clean Mean burritos.

Day 1 of Eating Experiment
To kick of the month long experiment, I made cinnamon mochi puffs.(look it up-mochi) Well...more like flats instead of puffs. I didn't cook them long enough but they were still devoured. With a little vegan butter they were 'tas-TY.'
Lunch was tricky. Served the girls vegan hot dogs, cucumbers, orange, & pumpkin seeds. Although Sophie gobbled her hot dog up, she said she didn't like it -mixed message:) Enjoyed healthy graham crackers as dessert. And crossed off another successful meal.
For this week, we can't have any milk products...butter, milk, sour cream,etc. I'm anxious to see if Matt followed the rules for his lunch.
Feeling good. Don't know if it's my veggie wrap or just mentally think I'm healthier after 8 hours!!! Mind over matter!
Stay tuned to see how the Sweet potato lentil soup turns out tonight.
