Week #3! (And results of week 1&2!)

Today is day #16 of this diet lifestyle change. (I do honestly feel like we can do this forever!) We have cooked healthy wonderful meals, tried 14 new recipes so far, and feel amazing!! I've lost 8.6 pounds in 15 days, my skin looks better, and I feel great! That is 100% motivaion to keep going strong!

This week has the following in store:
Baked Potato Soup
Butternut Squash Ravioli
Asian turkey meatballs with lime seasame sauce
Chicken rollatini with spinach
Seafood and sweet potato enchiladas
Homemade take out night!!! Seasame Orange Chicken & Fried quinoa
Onion Paninis


And here is this weeks grocery list (I know at first it looks HUGE, but take in account of what you already have on hand, and it cuts back DRASTICALLY! My grocery cart is no more full than any other week!)
**Edited to add: After I deleted everything I had in the house from this list, we need 24 things for a full week of healthy eating. Not bad at all!
