Week 2 Complete!

I made it through Week 2 of no sugar and no gluten! I even went out to a nice dinner and passed up the desserts and baked potato.

I didn't love the banana 'ice cream' but did freeze leftover smoothie for an after dinner treat.

Worst Temptation of the Week:  At a networking reception at school there were these delicious looking brownies with chocolate frosting on them.  I calmly walked away and tried to ignore the smell of chocolate-y goodness.  I moved to another part of the school where my teammate joins me, with TWO brownies and says "hey, free brownies!"  I politely decline while the brownie sat there and stared at me.  Luckily, I went to a brownie-less team meeting.  During a break, a different teammate walks in with FIVE brownies and says "hey guys, free brownies!" SAD.

Menu for Week 3:

Breakfast: Smoothies (my fav is strawberries and banana with greek yogurt -- 20 grams of protein per CUP!)

Lunches & Dinners:
BBQ Chicken Salad (homemade gluten free ranch dip from the Hidden Valley packets; corn; black beans; cheddar cheese; and slow cooker BBQ Chicken)

BBQ Chicken with Quinoa

Ground Turkey & Marinara Sauce over Veggies

Tuna Wraps (Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce & Tuna with Mayo)

Snacks:
Unsweetened applesauce with cinnamon and almonds
String Cheese & Almonds
Hummus & Carrots & Rice Chips
