Squash & Zucchini

Today I:

• Hit 10 lbs weight loss! 
• Bought 3 cutsey matching water bottles
• Cooked for 2 hours

One of my coworkers gave me some delightfully over-sized squash & zucchini. Ok, so they might look normal sized in my pic, but they are really over 1 foot each (that's a table not a plate). With my first 2 pickings I had 2 thoughts: zucchini, squash & bacon; & ZUCCHINI BREAD! I had to use up the rest of the bacon I purchased before my health goals & so I put it on the George Foreman to make sure as much grease as possible was extricated, then I blotted it on a paper towel, then added it, along with some corn, to my sauteing squash, zucchini, & seasonings. It was delightful. I forgot to take a pic before we ate most of it. A large amount of bacon was left on the bottom, but the servings Aaron & I had were very vegetably ;) It was a very nice meal!

 I should have taken pictures of my Zucchini bread endeavors, but here's the gist of it: I bought a hand-crank grater for 25 cents at a garage sale because I'm too clumsy to use a regular grater without injuring myself. Sadly, said grater was ineffective. I spent about 30+minutes grating 2 cups of zucchini. It was exhausting, but in the end I made 2 zucchini bread cakes (one for Aaron & I, & 1 for our upstairs housemates) using whole wheat flour & substituting 1/2 sugar with a truvia/honey mix. It came out very good indeed. Aaron insists he doesn't like whole wheat in any form, but he enjoyed it & ate it heartily enough :)

Thanks for all the detox ideas. I think I'm going to try a few out :)

Today I feel:
