Day 9

Hi! It's day 9 of our big-time commitment, and I have an exciting announcement: I have a favorite healthy meal now.  I just made it for dinner, and I think it's absolutely delicious.  I improved my own version of a Dr. Fuhrman recipe called "Super Food Stuffed Peppers."  1. I didn't have all of the exact ingredients and 2. I cannot just eat that much bell pepper that way.  Also, the breakfast smoothie for this morning and the past few mornings is the MOST delicious one we've concocted. I LOVE it.

I have to admit that I was a bad dieter today and ate a very large brownie from McAlester's.  Our department won department of the six weeks for last semester, and they gave us a huge platter.  I avoided them Friday, but when I kept seeing them today I totally caved.  Temptations, temptations!
