The Biggest Loser Saga, Week 2

Here we are-week two! So far, not a lot of weight loss all around-I think my Dad lost a few pounds but most of us are the same. However, now we begin our two weeks of Pescetarianism (vegetarian plus fish). Here's what we'll be eating for week 1.

• Cod, Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes and Garlic
• Cannelloni Beans with Seitan, stir fry
• White Eggplant Lasagna
• Salmon with Elizabeth Salad (see the recipe below)
• Tofu Stir Fry
• Split Pea Ginger soup
• Haddock with Mushroom and Asparagus risotto

For our other two meals we've been eating a lot of veggie burgers, yogurt, co-op bread (and homemade...my feeble attempt), fruits and veggies, salads, local eggs, and beans. Workouts have included the amazing cardio kickboxing class at SUNY Potsdam-Monday, Wednesday, Friday and individual training. Basically we're all hoping to look like this after 3 weeks.....

The Biggest Loser-Tulloch Family Style

Here at camp Tulloch we've begun week one (of four) on our quest to find the Biggest Loser (ahem...Josh). Along with Obama we're on the quest for better health. Anna and I put a poster up on the fridge that has our names, starting weights, and pictures. We weigh in every Monday first thing in the morning-write it down, figure out our percentage lost and repeat for four weeks. We also have a money pot and the person who looses the most (of their body percentage) wins!

Our strategy has been the standard working out more and eating less/better. I've designed the menus for this week and next. Here's an idea of what we're eating on our quest this week for weight loss and world domination (yes, Ellen DeGeneres...I love you).

• Monday: Chicken Cesar Salad-homemade spelt bread croutons, light Cesar dressing, shaved Parmesan and roasted chicken.


• Tuesday: Stuff your own Sweet Potato-onions, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, chicken, cheese, beans.
  
• Wednesday: Lentil soup, flax seed bread


• Thursday: Cod with roasted vegetables-carrots, eggplant, and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper.


• Friday: Grilled venison, quinoa, and kale.


• Saturday: Mediterranean pizza-olives, feta, spinach, and garlic on whole wheat crust.
