2 Weeks and Going Strong!



2 weeks on a 1250 calorie diet, with the addition of our Slenderiiz homeopathic drops. We are really starting to see some great results and also starting to get into a groove for being organized with meal planning and grocery shopping. This journey is off to a great start and has us sooooooo motivated to meet all our goals!

Week 2 Progress Update
Karl is down 16 lbs in 14 days! His exact words when seeing this side by side was "Good bye man boobs and double chin, hello motivation to get ripped!" If this is what 2 weeks brings I can't wait to see where he is at our 60 day mark.


6.5 lbs in 2 weeks and nearly 5 inches off my waist! The biggest difference for me is being able to see the definition between bust and belly. I feel like by the end of 60 days I will be closer to having abs!



Remember our friend Jeff? Jeff is down 16 lbs as of this morning as well!
Collectively the 3 of us have lost 38.5 lbs in 14 days. I think that's pretty darn amazing.


Over coming challenges

Initially I was concerned about being able to keep up with all of the fresh food. We didn't eat fast food very often but we ate out for Thai and Mexican food quite a bit. The downside of eating out is that you don't know what's going in to your food or how to accurately account for calories.

So to curb these temptations of easy and accessible meals I have been prepping food ahead of time on Sundays and Wednesdays. Right now our fridge is full of bags of broccoli, corn, "California Vegetables" (mixed veggies in a bag", bell peppers, apples, oranges, avocados, shredded chicken, mixed tuna, and baked cod. Every meal is accounted for for the next 3 days.

A couple nights ago I baked my fish recipe with cod

Then I put all the cod and drippings away in the fridge sealed tightly and through out the last couple days we've nibble on it, or packed it for Karl's lunch as he goes to work. In between we had several other proteins for dinner, and our Purenourish shakes for breakfast.

This evening, was one of those nights where I wanted Thai food. I didn't want to cook, all 4 of us were sick. I opened the fridge and there was the cod and a bag of mixed veggies that I had pulled from the freezer and put in the fridge for easy cooking.

In a saute pan I threw the veggies and some corn in with salt, pepper and garlic and once it was heated up I added two pieces of fish and some of the drippings to flavor the veggies.

From the time I dragged my bottom off the couch to putting the veggies and fish in a bowl, it took 9 minutes and only 300 calories per serving.


It's only one of many examples how being prepared saved us from wavering from our program which could set us back in our goals by 3 or 4 days.
What are ways you keep from straying from your diet program?
