How Our Family Lives With The 17 Day Diet!

Stawberry Smoothie & Progress

Mmmmm, this is so yummy! It’s beautiful too with the strawberry flecks and vanilla bean specks.

Pop the following in your vitamix blender:

This will count as one probiotic and fruit.  Probably should have put more fruit in it to count it as a whole fruit serving!

We had a weigh in today and all moved down on the scale except for my son, Nathan. He’s really building teen muscle, and I think he’s redistributing is body fat into muscle. He gained .4 of a pound.

Jeff traveled this past week, so he wasn’t able to get his regular exercise in and didn’t lose as much as he’d like.

We have a trip to Chicago this upcoming weekend, and are concerned about how we’ll eat.  I think we’ll return and be ready to hop back onto one of the more rigorous cycles. We will be home for 2 days and complete this Cycle III, then be ready to go.

We have given ourselves permission to eat what we want without going crazy and know it will be challenging to stay on our plan. Sometimes you just have to live your life and we don’t get a chance to travel and explore like this very often. We want to enjoy every minute of it! I do worry about gastro issues though since we have been eating so healthfully for 45 days now. We may have tummy troubles from fat in that Chicago style pizza, but really want to eat it!  Keep your fingers crossed for us!
