I am so delighted - I have had my first guests at my 'home'! Is it normal for it to seem really really quiet once everyone else has gone? Maybe it was because 2 of my guests were under age 3! Anyhow, we barbequed steak and chicken, and had corn on the cob, and some drinks and desserts from El Salvador for some ethnic flair, and we just hung out on my deck and enjoyed summer. Little Hannah and Emma were just darling in their red/white/blue dresses. Both of them were born here so they're little Miss Americas :-) I'll try to get pictures from Jessica (their mom)~

CleanMED - final day

 Oh boy…this is it!  It just hit me today around 5:30 PM that I actually have to think about what I’m going to cook tomorrow!  It has been SO NICE not needing to think about cooking/preparing food for this past month. I had my moment of panic but I do have one mini reprieve: I never needed use the emergency meals they send you home with on Day 1. They do that in case something happens and you can’t make it in to pick up food. I never needed them so … vegetarian chili is what is for lunch tomorrow! Tomorrow morning I’ll be trying to remember how to scramble eggs and where I put all my stuff for doing that!  ðŸ¤ª Tomorrow morning are my final measurements and my final labs. I’m really excited to see the results and hope they continue to be going in the right direction.  Fingers crossed! 🤞 Instant gratification has been pretty nice, seeing changes after just 2-3 weeks, but I understand with more time they will continue to improve if I stick with it. Here is my photo...

2000 1990 1984 1982 1970 1968 1966 1960 1950 Not your average digital makeover I learned about this unique site from Tami's blog so I decided to give it a shot and see how I would've looked back in the day. I've put up a voting section for which look you like best, but I am not committing to adopting it! :-)

How it’s going

 So I’m for sure many of you who KNOW me, the million dollar question is: Are you going to be able to keep this up and stick to it? The good news is habits take anywhere from 4-6h to really stick and I’m past the 4 week mark for eating health so I am feeling determined to find a way to make it stick, even though there’s a steep learning curve ahead for me when it comes to cooking/cutting/storing/meal-prepping.  Food takes a lot of thought and even creativity that I just usually don’t have the patience for. I’d rather daydream about travel. The Quick Oats are working beautifully and I’ve had those plus fruit, nuts, and plain yogurt for a few breakfasts now.  They taste just like the ones from the trial. Yesterday I made my first batch of pinto beans using my Zavor (like an Instant Pot), washed and “dosed” all my grapes, and ate only good things. I will update the label on the bin Today I made a batch of Lentil Chili, batch prepped 4 side salads, and did a pile of chopping....
