Almost to 50
So I weighed myself yesterday for my monthly check and to report for our family competition. I am down another 3.5 lbs and I am at 173. If I lose 3 more lbs I will have lost 50 lbs in all. I never thought I would see it but it motivates me even more. I have not been exercising but this just shows what a change in diet can do for your weight.
And back by request and at a perfect time I might add since St. Patricks day is just around the corner, my friend Julie requested the recipe for the Spinach Parmesan cakes. You can go here for the recipe. My advice maybe add some more garlic or change it up how you feel would make it more flavorful.
I also have a few new recipes I would like to add. One of my biggest problems lately is snacking. I am pretty cold but that might be because we keep the house at 65. If you're coming over bring a sweater! Well I keep snacking and mostly on junk. Not like hamburgers and fries and soda but the kids granola bars and fruit snacks that are full of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. So I was in desperate need to find some healthy filling snacks.
1. Probably my favorite is a new green herb hummus that we eat with whole wheat pita bread. You can go here for the recipe. I could eat it all day, but I won't because it fills me up.
2. little mini pizzas on whole wheat english muffins. Just put some veggies and homemade pizza sauce and light cheese.
3. For a drink I found this spiced iced tea. You can go here for the recipe. Obviously I didn't use alcohol and first I used mango herbal tea and that was ok then I used peach herbal tea and that was pretty tasty. I didnt use cloves with the peach tea and it was still really good.
I'm sure there is more but for now I cant remember. Exercise is not really going for me but I plan to start getting up early in the morning before everyone is up and either run or do a biggest loser video. I am feeling under the weather for now but as soon as I get my energy back I will have to start making it a habit. Even if I have to try to do it just for one week. Small steps.
I'm not sure how many people actually read this blog but I am grateful for those who do, I picture you at home pushing me forward. If you have any ideas for more snacks or meals please share, I love new ideas.
