Detox - Day 14 (weigh-in day)

It's Weigh-In Day

This week, the scale didn't move as much as last week, but at least it still moved.  My husband lost 3 pounds, for a total of 10.  And I lost 1/2 pound, for a total of 4.  After only 2 weeks, I'm very happy with the results.  And, the food has been very tasty and satisfying.  Without too much work.  Just a little planning and making extra for leftovers.

I've also got my menu planned for week three, so I need to get to the grocery store.  I'm picking up some fish for tonight's meal and everything else I'll need for the week.  I think it's going to be another satisfying week with a couple new twists, for me.

Breakfast - I made a fruit salad with all the leftover fruit; waited 20 minutes, then had the last slice of whole grain bread.  I toasted it and spread some natural peanut butter on it.

AM Snack - Wasn't hungry.

Lunch -  We finished the last of the White Bean Soup, however there was still enough for another bowl.  So, I put it in the freezer for an emergency meal down the road.

PM Snack - Prosciutto and Asparagus Roll-ups from yesterday.  My husband reported that he loved the taste, but couldn't get past the smell of uncooked proscuitto.  So, that was a deal breaker for him, as he won't eat it again.

Dinner - Pan-Roasted Catfish with Thyme Butter Sauce (pg. 242).  Two things you need to know about this recipe.  First, I swapped out catfish for sole, as our fish department didn't have any today.  And, second, while in Detox we can't have the white wine, so I swapped it out with the juice from a fresh lemon. 

I'm not one to use Tartar Sauce, or any sauce on my fish.  So, this was new for me.  And, second, I usually add some kind of coating or seasonings when I prepare fish, and this recipe doesn't call for that, so I was a little worried.  All you put on the fish is salt and pepper and fry it in extra-virgin olive oil. 

I'm happy to report that the sauce with the fish was and eye-opening experience for me.  I felt like a gourmet cook because it was extra wonderful.

Beverages:  seven 8-ounce glasses of water and 1 cup Sleepy Time Tea.
