Feeling Great, Losing Weight

When I write the title of this post I need to specify that I (Zoe) am losing weight (10 Ibs!). And much needed weight too, thankyouverymuch grad school. I hope to my higher powers that my skinny-minnie boyfriend is keeping meat on his bones (huh, surarya!). He admitted to me last week that he was very hungry his first week of the experiment. I am assuming he has discovered more food he can eat now that it has been three weeks.... It's not that we are not eating too. According to Ryan, I am taking enough food with me to work/class/internship/etc. to "feed a small army." In case you are wondering what this looks like, I took a picture below.



This would be a big salad with avocado, carrots and salad greens with balsamic and oil dressing, a piece of homemade wheat bread, nancy's yogurt with strawberries and bananas and cut up apples with cinnamon and fresh-squeezed lemon juice (thank you Cimone for teaching me about this--I'm addicted). So you can see, I am eating a lot and am not hungry. I am losing weight because I am not snacking on crap. This takes some pre-planning but it is worth it in SO many ways! Also, please do not feel too badly for Ryan--we had steak topped with blue cheese last night!

Also, we made homemade pizza the other night for dinner! The dough was even homemade and I was surprised at how quick and easy we were able to do this! Looks yummy, huh!?!?! Ryan was the pizza master! Rule #4 is around the corner!
