Well Im closing in on 15lbs now. Not much exericse in a while and virtually no walking done either so it is all literally changing how I have been eating. I at a salmon burger the other day for dinner and could have only eaten 3/4 of it been full which is quite odd for me. I used to be able to get two and then some. So needless to say it was disgusting what I did eat.
Well pants arent fitting again and Im really enjoying the food so far. I have been a slacker lately so I havent gotten recipes up. I have discovered the "low cal" menu of taco bell which I have done a few times while I have been traveling and it is fairly impressive.
The last few days I have been left asking myself the question "was that a diet?" I havent been so good lately. Havent been eating well, havent been counting calories or points, no walking or exercise and yes I partook of some of the MSG goodness of Chinese orange chicken! Lets face it making it homemade isnt the same.
Tonight was lime chicken with pineapple salsa. I didnt have pineapple so I subbed in mandrine oranges.
Recipe:
Well I have hit my first 10 lbs lost just over 2 weeks into this diet thing. I must say that I actually like it. I am eating less and foods that have less fat. I get to go walking with the family for some quality time and it is kind of fun. Also experimenting with foods and cooking has been quite enjoyable.
I have had some photos take of the food I have made with their ingredients but I left my camera at a friends house and havent been able to get it yet so I will try to get it soon and get them up for whoever reads this if anyone at all.
I did however jog a little bit the other night pushing my son in a stroller. No that was a work out. I didnt realize how fast I can get winded and out of shape I am! Hoping that will change soon.
So 10 down and at least 50 more to go!
The last few days I havent felt as hungry so I am back to staying lower on points. I did get exercise today with the kids in the pool. They had me dive for their toys and bring them back for about half an hour solid. So came in and got dinner ready. Fat and Prude takes on a Jamie Oliver recipe. Do I dare say that while qualified he and famous I did change the recipe up a bit. Yes and it was due to accident. I over boiled the potatoes which meant I couldnt grill them so I cut out the oil and just continued to bake them as directed. They turned out great still.
The steak I just grilled on the George foreman grill mostly to save time but it did cook them great medium-medium well. The picture below is mine. Click the link above for the recipe to see the pic up on Jamie Oliver's site.
Not much has changed so far. Im still sticking to the points thing so far and eating a lot healthier. I rather enjoy it and I find that I can now stomach the every gross things like peppers and mushrooms and such. Probably because I know I will starve if I dont eat them. It could be perhaps that I am still morphing into an old prude each and everyday. Guess I will have to work on that. The fat is much more disgusting at this point so we are sticking to that plan.
I did however break down and eat 2 pieces of pizza yesterday. I was full after and I was suprised that I didnt feel as satisfied. Perphas that is because those 2 pieces of pizza contained the same amount of calories I consumed from 8am-4pm that sameday anyway...shock and awe for you can be inserted here. Happy eating everyone!
Recipies to Come!
I am doing this from my mobile phone for the first time which is awesome and second a test to see how well it works. Since I am a particularly strict on blog perfection we will see how it goes. Things have been great food wise and diet wise. I am getting out walking with the kids riding their bikes or walking too. It seems for me this is working better than exercising in a room somewhere. So I will stick with it till I plateau in weight loss.
I am enjoying all the fresh food and spices. Buying thenm is kind of fun and cooking with them is more fun. Eating it all is so much better too! I am hoping to start posting recipies soon also. Stay tuned for that!
The Fat Comes Back
Today I didnt keep track of anything and besides eating a lot of stuff good for me I did go to the drive in with my family and eat junk food and lots of it. Im weak and while I did it there was some enjoyment. Now that it is sitting with me I dont feel so joyful and I have heartburn too so there you go people. Dont eat junk food.
