You may have noticed that my posts have dropped off lately. About three weeks ago, my beloved Brian started the Isagenix program for weight loss. Truth is, he has a lot of weight to lose (as do I). We decided that since he has more weight to lose than me, he would start using the Isagenix products and I would just start cooking within his regimen and making myself exercise more.
He has been doing very well. He lost nearly 20 lbs. in the first two weeks and, more importantly, 13.25 inches of overall body measurements. I'm so proud of him!
I'm not so proud of myself though. Even though I have become extremely creative in making him approximately 600 calorie dinners every night, there are two nights where he fasts... which means I am left to my own devices. We have a 13 yr. old daughter who eats like... a 13 yr. old... and trying to find something that we can both compromise on those nights gets hairy. She wants fatty greasy food... I want fatty greasy food after eating low cal/fat all week... the temptation gets to be too much. I cave and we go out. I end up spending $40 for just the two of us and none of it is good.
I am hoping that going public with my lack of restraint will cause me to have more of it.
In the time that I have been cooking for Brian's new lifestyle, I have come up with several recipes that can be combined into dinners that total around 600 calories. He says they're fantastic, but hey... when anyone hasn't eaten real food in a couple of days, an old shoe tastes fantastic, right? lol!! Seriously, I will be posting the best of my "600 Calorie or Less" dinner menus as my next few posts. I hope you try them... please let me know if you do and how you liked them.
