Successes!

So I completed two weeks of completely whole foods, no oil, no refined anything except soymilk, tofu and salt. I still didn't feel great but I wasn't eating the complete crap. On Monday I started ETL again, the six week plan. I'm having such good luck with food so far. I'm just loving it! I've been having cherry vanilla "ice cream" for breakfast, a big stir fry with "Greens With Envy" from Trader Joe's and a cup of brown rice for lunch and a big salad with another bowl of ice cream for dinner. Yum!

Today I'm going to add some things to the stir fry, as per the suggestions of some people on the board. I'll use one bag of the Greens With Envy, which is about 10 oz. frozen green vegetables (spinach, green beans, asparagus, broccoli) and six ounces (one cup volume wise) of edamame. Then I'll add three ounces of extra spinach and three of extra broccoli to balance it out. My special ingredients will be water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and a bit of sesame oil. Can't wait!

And the scale is moving! I can't say "finally" because it's not like I was really trying before but I'm trying now and the scale is showing it! So there you go, I've lost my first nine pounds on ETL.
