Grocery List - More Diet Recipes

I must of gone crazy over cabbage this past week, because its in about every recipe. So, I'll call this week the "Cabbage Diet". I'm still stuck at only loosing 6 pounds. I've had a few cheat days. Well...it was my sister's 50th birthday and I had to eat my mom's cooking. Also, on my late work night, I came home and Steve had fried chicken wings and cheese dip. My first reaction was THAT'S NOT ON MY DIET, but I held my tongue and thanked him for cooking dinner for me. I've gained 1 pound back, but I'm on a mission here. I'm drinking anywhere from 90 to 120 ounces of water a day; plus trying to eat healthy.


Next week my blog is off the diet. We have Super bowl coming up and I have Super Bowl Sliders. A different kind everyday, so you'll have some recipes for your guest. The day I make them will have to be my cheat day. But don't worry I'm still going to be on my diet.


This week, my favorite recipe is the Tuna Steaks with green sauce, it's a must try. Some of the other recipes are from the Fat Flush Diet book, but I have to admit, I might of put a twist to it and changed it up on a few.
