Day 1 & 2: We're so Kewl...except when we're not.

Okay folks,

This is really happening! We're excited to announce that we..... have not started out so well with this challenge....but there's is definitely hope.

Please! We strongly urge you to continue to follow our blog despite our lowly attempts at regimenting our diets and lifestyle.

Day 1: started out with TJ's blueberry oatmeal---stick to yer ribs goodness that keeps you going strong. For lunch we ate the "spa salad" which was yummy, refreshing, and had the salty sweet goodness of grapes, pasta, chicken, and crispy lettuce. You'll be delighted to hear that we actually worked out at the gym together for a good 45 minutes at Iron Works in Berkeley. Tallulah pumped iron while Akiva rock-climbed.

We were champions triumphing in the dawn of hope and aspirations of hotness---until we went over to Akiva's Mother's house. We will not disclose the details of what we ate---TJ's cannot hold a torch to great Jewish Mom cooking. Therefore we cannot be held responsible for our deviation from TJ's. That's all we have to say.

Oh yes, and there was a Trader Joe's Tiramisu Dessert

Day 2:

Did the oatmeal thing--Maple and brown sugar this time.

For lunch we had the Italian chopped salad which was super filling, heavy and loaded with too much meat. Left us feeling like we just ate a brick of meat. TJ's we love your salads--but this one was a bit much---there might have even been more meat than greens. For dinner we had beef and cheese/green chile tamales. 2 each and definitely awesome.

Gotta love the finite portions of food. This is what you get---eat it---that is all. No going back for seconds. Sit there and digest. Just be with it. Breathe in the reality that that is all you get. TJ's has spoketh.

p.s. Tallulah went over to her friend Veronica's and brought over her tamales in a plastic baggy to stay true to the Tj's challenge, but cheated a bit by also having some of V's fantastic pasta. "Oops" says Tallulah with a pasta-eating grin.

Stay tuned for more adventures. We promise to be better. This was actually a bit harder than we thought. eek!
