Rule #12: Avoiding the Middle

I had my first work week post-graduation and was super bad about blogging. Ryan and I tried to watch some TV....The Bachelorette.....Wipe Out......random shows while working out on the elliptical. Our list of no-no foods remained virtually non-existent despite Papa Murphy's pizza and Yoplait yogurt (we were only writing down foods we might otherwise be eating and even these two foods we have not eaten since starting this challenge). How proud were we that this rule did not effect us in the slightest. Or have they just stopped advertising food on TV?

In other news: Purchase of the week:

A Pineapple Corer


Ryan grilled an amazing meal of braised beef in the middle of the week. Little did I know, or he know more importantly, that this meal had a prep time of like 8 hours. When you start cooking at 6pm please plan on having a VERY hungry (and grouchy) girlfriend by 10:30 pm (he actually started the prep during his lunch break...). I didn't get a very good picture but I can honestly say that it might have been worth the wait...



This upcoming week we are on Rule #12: Shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out of the middle. Hard to believe it will be 3 months down! Sorry this post is so boring. I have just been adjusting to normalcy with a Monday-Friday 9-5 job.
