Menu Plan

Hubs is doing great on his final stretch of his 21 day challenge. He'll be finished this Saturday, and can move into phase two. He's lost about 15 pounds in these two weeks...makes me kind of sick honestly. I don't think I lost 15 pounds in two weeks. In his two weeks, I've lost 2 pounds...but then again, I've been at this for months. The last few pounds is the hardest.

Mike has also gotten to the point where he's skipping meals.  Lunch will often be a handful of nuts, or a protein shake.  As suggested in the primal diet, 3 square meals are not always happening.  We eat when we're hungry, and if we're not hungry...we just don't eat.  Dinner is the fun meal, we get creative and try new recipes.  On the weekends, we experiment with breakfast and since beginning on Saturday hubs won't be on the 21 day challenge any more we can try some sweeter things.

Strawberry Yogurt Pops

We had a heat wave the other week.  Not spring weather at all.  The kids were hot and I felt miserable.  Here's a sweet treat I made to cool us all off.

I dug out my small little bullet type blender out of one of our boxes, and made just the right amount of our ice cream popsicle things I got from Ikea the other day.  Here's my recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of strawberries
• 1 banana
• 1 tbsp of lemon juice
• 1 tbsp of honey
• 1/2 cup of full fat greek yogurt.

Place all your ingredients into a blender.  Blend the crap out of them, then pour them into your reusable ice pop makers.    Freeze them for about an hour.

Then give them to your kids, and have one for yourself too.  :)
