Day 27

I know, I know...I forgot to post yesterday. I had a VERY good reason, though: I'm recipe obsessed!! I seriously have been going through websites with a fine-tooth comb and picking out all sort of recipes. My friend Karyn has given me my favorite: Tastespotting.com. I just key an ingredient into a search field, and I get back pages of recipes with that in there. You can also type in phrases, like "gluten free" or "healthy" or "vegetarian" and it will bring back any posting with that in the title. It's SUCH A COOL SITE. I have been a busy bee once I get home, furiously filling out the recipe cards that came with the AWESOME book we bought at The Hallmark Store (thanks for the suggestion there, Jill!). We may have to buy even more cards, I have found so many recipes and forwarded them home so I can labor away once I get home. I've found a whole range of things: from the uber healthy, to the mostly healthy, to the "well, this at least has my serving of veggies in it", to some splurge meals (we found a homemade version of Tredway BBQ's Porky Melt, only with a "slice" of mac and cheese on there...that will be a sometimes thing, obviously, but YUM!!). Sides and healthy, quick desserts, simple meals that even I can make.

I. Am. Literally. Obsessed.

In fact, I am dying to get through this blog post so I can spend just a few minutes of my break on Tastespotting.com, as I just thought of another thing to look up recipes for...

So, my back has been hurting lately and I've felt so tired since I'm not sleeping as well. No one else seems to notice, though, people I talk to STILL say "you look like you have so much energy!" I am still super fidgety when at my desk, so I guess I do still have energy. So I have energy, and I'm tired. Haha.

I down 30 pounds! Andrew's lost 35. We're both kinda slowing down, sometimes there are days when we just lose a couple of ounces as opposed to a whole pound, but that's okay. The number is still going down, and that's what we want. I have a doctor's appointment Friday, and since Andrew is off he is going to go with me. We cannot WAIT to see the look on our doctor's and nurse's face when they see us! They are going to be so excited for us!

This Saturday will be Day 30...the halfway point of our 60-day journey. We are so excited. It's gone by fast, and yet it's taking forever at the same time! We are both so happy we are doing this, though, and are thrilled with the results! We discover new changes all the time, and those make the cravings bearable.

Hope you all are doing well!

Juice on!
