Not on my plan for Week Three dynamic eating, but I hope to have them some day. P.S. We have the exact same fridge / storage / all produce washed technique -- it cuts down your cooking time so much! Be well and I can't wait to read about this weeks food adventures with TAM ad your little ones.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03025697027904286376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004453958589370857.post-5793870800421187972011-04-11T17:35:12.640-07:002011-04-11T17:35:12.640-07:00I love your blog!!

I have been struggling with trying to really to TAM and her diet but balancing work, life with twin toddlers and other life stuff, I really struggle. I love how organized you and your fridge is and I am taking notes!! Have to ask....did you prep all of your first week ahead of time? How much prep time did that take. Am intimidated by the prep work....need to know it is doable!! :-) Really want to start this soon love some guidance and/or time saving tips if you have any!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004453958589370857.post-16872228270302614362011-04-11T10:04:51.111-07:002011-04-11T10:04:51.111-07:00thank you so much Kat. yes, i feel great. my energ...thank you so much Kat. yes, i feel great. my energy is up, pants size down, and i am just smitten with myself for making this a priority. but between you and me, i'm not entirely surprised the lbs fell off that first week...when you switch from copious amounts of coffee, wine and leftovers off your children's plates to green & herbal teas, and an entirely plant based diet, something's going to give! the real test is if i can reach a comfortable size and then sustain it.The Full Plate Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194589533027136349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004453958589370857.post-5295384772026294372011-04-11T09:57:47.800-07:002011-04-11T09:57:47.800-07:00I love your blog!
