I'm not an innovative, recipe inspiring cook. But what I can do is follow a recipe. Really well. While all blogs insist their recipes rock, truth be told, they don't. Sometimes they take twice the estimated time to prepare. Sometimes my kids hate how the food tastes. Sometimes my version looks significantly less appetizing than the photo on the blog or in the cookbook. So what I do, in short, is test drive these recipes and tell the truth about the result.

Day 7 of 30
I have to admit, I'm having some trouble with all this juggling. Obviously, as I haven't posted in a few days. But I have to say, it's clearly working. I'm down 4 lbs in 7 days. The last time I lost that much weight in one week was when I had the stomach flu. But I haven't cheated on meals. Not once. I even went to Starbucks this morning because I didn't have time last night to make a smoothie for today. And when I say "I didn't have time" I mean "I had NO motivation after the ass kicking I received at Crossfit". Anyhoo, Starbucks called. I got up to the counter and instead of my regular grande-nonfat-sugar free vanilla-no water-chai (yest I'm high maintenance) I grabbed a "green machine" smoothie out of the case. There were a number of factors at work there. 1) 4 lbs people! I can't ruin this now. 2) The juice concoction actually sounded more filling than tea and 3) I might be cheating for dinner tonight by going out for sushi. I'll see how much willpower I have when my favorite Kobe Beef roll gets served. I'll do as much as I can without rice, but it's my favorite. Wish me luck.
