Ok... so for a month and a half I didn't fall off the wagon, apparently I jumped down - broke the wagon up and used the wood for kindling to bbq the ox pulling the wagon.
But I'm back.. and actually better than ever. (for now).
I've decided trying to eat 'healthy' and also trying to continue to eat a fair amount of processed food - is a losing battle. You not only can't eat much due to the calories, but I'm not convinced eating processed foods makes you feel unsatisfied and craving more food.
So I'm back and eating "clean" now. Not 100% clean - but very much for the most part indeed.
I've also started stationary biking. Right now my goal is 25 miles a week and I'm about to shatter that on my very first week - which is good I suppose, means I underestimated my drive at the get go (which is also kinda worrisome isn't it?)
I've been on a dinner for salad kick so far this week and I've discovered a couple of nice ones I thought I'd share:
we had this one last night:

Neither of us are fans of limes - so we substituted Orange Ginger dressing instead of Lime. We also used romaine hearts instead of spinach - since Gillian isn't a huge huge fan of spinach and I can't push my luck with her. lol Over all a great dinner salad.
we had this one Tuesday night:

also an excellent salad. For this one we used Pineapple/Orange juice instead of just regular Orange juice and next time I'll cut the cornstarch in half and/or add more juice as the dressing was a bit too thick for my liking.
Friday I have a blueberry and bacon salad lined up that has me intrigued.
