17 Pounds Down, A Gazillion to Go

True to my usual form, I start a blog project, then leave it for dead. I could easily launch my very own blog graveyard; however, I suspect it too would suffer a similar fate. But, I digress...

Now nearly two months since my initial post, I am happy to report that Morgan and I survived the first six weeks of the plan. While we didn't remain perfectly on plan, we were pretty close. In a way, it's almost better, because we're incorporating healthy habits into our lifestyle, yet we're still seeing results. So far Morgan is down 18 pounds, and I'm down 17. One of the big changes has been eliminating salt from the diet. When you cut the salt, a lot of stuff goes along with it. Just within the first few days I noticed an immediate change in how I felt--my energy level had a noticeable boost. In the process, we've learned to cook great tasting foods without fat and without salt. Who knew?

In the meantime, I still have quite a ways to go, so I'll continue to post my progress along with some great tasting recipes that are low (or non) fat and have no salt added.
