I have not eaten healthy the last year and the scale is definitely showing it. I give myself too much leeway and don't moderate myself. I find myself facing similar numbers on the scale as what I saw back in 2015 when I set about to lose a significant amount of weight. Now, because I was lax with myself, I have that challenge in front of me again. *sigh* The good news is I know I'm capable of doing it. The bad news is that it took me almost a year last time. Maybe if I'm strict with myself, especially on vacation and around holidays *sobs* I can cut that time down some. We shall see. One thing I liked to do when I was losing weight was blog, especially about my meals. So here we go again...
I made my own ramen bowl last night for dinner. It had chicken broth, a little tomato bullion, some Asian noodles I got from World Market, onion, zucchini, green onion, sriracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and a poached egg. It was MARVELOUS!! I anticipate having a similar meal tonight or for lunch today! Yum!! Hooray for a veggie stuffed meal!
This morning for breakfast I had a veggie hash and a slice of toast. I was going to have an egg with it, then I decided I would probably be plenty full with just the veggies. I was right. I went to Grandma and Grandpa Heorman's last night for some fresh fruits and veggies and I put almost all of them into my hash this morning!! My recipe included: baby russet potatoes, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, and a bit of shredded cheese. Since none of my veggies are the same consistency, they all needed different cook times. I started browning the potatoes (cubed small, as was everything else), then added the zucchini and let it soften a little, then added the onion until it was opaque, then I poured the veggie mixture in an oven safe bowl, topped it with tomatoes and a sprinkle of shredded cheese and broiled it about a minute. It was DELICIOUS! I am stuffed!
I am going to try really hard to get veggies into all of my meals. They keep me full and I love them, so I don't see why I don't eat them more. Hopefully that will be a regular change for me from here on out. Wish me luck and hopefully the scale will move quickly!
I should also add, I went on a 5.5 mile walk yesterday! 😪 I was playing games on my phone and just kept going. Also, it was time put of the house and quiet alone time, so I wasn't in a tremendous hurry to get home. 🤣 It also kept me out of the pantry for a couple hours. 😋 I doubt I'll be out as long tonight, but hopefully I'll be out again. I was just walking, but I figured I'd note my fastest mile time on here and maybe I'll get better. Also, maybe (let's just say it, fat chance) I'll start running. 😂😂😂
My fastest mile was: 19:26
My average mile was: 20:04
That's all for now. Happy Tuesday! ❤❤❤
