Day 10 and going strong. Trying new recipes makes this more fun! I tried 2 new ones today and unanimous LOVE from the family! That is such a relief!!
Weighed myself a little early and I have lost 6 pounds as of today. It's frustrating in general how long it takes to lose weight. I guess that I should look at it that in a month, it could be 15 pounds, and by the end of the summer, it could be 30 pounds... those are the numbers that make me happier than just 6. It makes me want to pick up my exercise pace too. Carly and I went to water aerobics today and we were the youngest in the class by 20+ years. :-) Definitely stretched that age bell curve. If water aerobics is such good exercise, why do only older people tend to take it? Hmmmm... Emi has a weigh in tomorrow at her doctors appt. Fingers crossed.
Also did another run to the grocery store to get ingredients for the zucchini pizza I was making for dinner tonite and to get more fruit. We go through $6 - $10 of fruit PER DAY in this house. Huge part of our food budget. But I guess it's better to spend more on the front end than pay for the medical care to fix it on the back end. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Kroger had a HUGE "manager markdown" sale on 99% fat-free ground turkey breast -- halfprice!! -- so I bought them all! On a hunt now for turkey recipes. I have a great recipe for spinach turkey stuffed shells that is amazing!! I'm sure I'll make and freeze a couple batches of those, maybe make some meatballs and freeze them, and we only have taco night with turkey meat instead of beef. I'm sure it will be gone quickly. Kroger also had boneless, skinless chicken breasts marked down to $.99/lb and I got the 6 remaining packages. We eat chicken all the time. It was a good savings day at Kroger!
Food journal for the day...
Breakfast/Lunch (I had a doctors appt today and had to fast for a blood test so I didn't eat until LATE)
triscuits and swiss cheese (one of my fav snack meals)
Snack
3 pieces of brown rice sushi (I love sushi and Kroger sells a brown rice sushi. I was nice enough to share it with my 2 girls and Tom since they love it too, thus, I only got 3 pieces. *sigh*)
Zucchini crust pizza - unanimous thumbs up from the family -- all of them!! I've already been asked to make this again. Easy and I got more veggies in the kids with this pizza than I do in a week!!! :-) heehee!
Dessert - NEW RECIPE!! (next post)
Homemade banana strawberry ice cream - they LOVED this too!! Am making more tonite. So healthy that they can eat it whenever they'd like.
I really can't say enough how full I feel all the time. This is coming from a person who likes to eat just to eat, regardless of "hunger". Being hungry was never a criteria for me to eat. But with NSNF, I just feel full all the time so I don't eat. Really different feeling to not want to eat. :-)
Thanks for checking in to this wonderful day in the life of a Crow!
