“Healthy Eating” the trip begins

Here we are, the start of March, and Jane and I are ready to begin a new adventure- healthy eating with prepared foods from Seattle Sutton. This morning we received an e-mail that our order had left the factory/kitchens and would be delivered soon. The boxes arrived a few hours later and I brought them up to unbox and place in the fridge. I am glad that we had the foresight to empty out the fridge as we had 18 meals to put in ( and on Thursdays delivery, we will have 24).

The boxes were larger than anticipated ( and far heavier) as they are packed to perfection with dry ice, allowing them to not be a problem with delivery and unboxing for home fridge. We did that and broke the boxes down for our recycling bin ( we are in a condo). The boxes also included a “welcome package” and the list of what was included by day and meal. I am on the 2000 calories per day and Jane on the 1200. By the way, we began our morning with a weigh-in so we could do this properly and see the results.

The “welcome Kit” includes a carry-bag that is thermal so one can keep a meal cold when going to an office or place of work ( or school). The enclosed booklet explains the Seattle Sutton philosophy and offers suggestions on  beverages and dairy products (non-fat milk daily is of great import for healthy eating). If questions arise, they have dietician nutritionists available to answer them and keep you on the road to success. Since our meals arrived at 11 am. we will skip the breakfast ( a swiss cheese egg bake- giving to our gatehouse workers) and do the lunch a pecan-cranberry mixed salad.                I am anxiously waiting to enjoy the grilled salmon with creamy dill sauce for dinner. DAY 1

The dinner was terrific, –but I ate Jane’s instead of mine
