I received some encouraging words yesterday about my blog (didn't even know any one was really reading it!) and I realized it was probably time to write another one! The first week has been going good. I haven't had any slip ups or really any desire to because I know what I'm working toward. Most of my days start off with eggs and some fruit. That keeps me full all the way until lunch. I normally take left overs for lunch from the night before or a couple of times this week I've even cooked a second time at night so I will have something to eat the next day, gotta be prepared! My new favorite meal is something I whipped up without even knowing what to do. When I tell you I don't know how or what to cook, I'm not lying here! I honestly haven't cooked much before except the few little things I know of but other than that, I'm pretty clueless. It is so nice to have someone doing this with you to ask questions and talk about this with. I love my Lea! I call her often to ask her how to do this or what should I make with that. So Monday night I needed to make something really quick before Zumba class. I got out some chicken and asparagus (YUM) and sauted it in a pan with olive oil. It turned out so so good! I threw in some spices (salt, pepper, and garlic powder, that's it!) and it was delicious. I liked it so much, I went to the grocery store after Zumba and got some mushrooms so I could try it again. I made it again that night and took it for lunch the next day with a spinach and strawberry salad. This diet has some good eats! It's time for this week's grocery store trip and I'm searching for more ideas on what to make. I kinda made the same stuff over and over this week so I wouldn't waste my groceries. I don't mind eating the same thing more than once in a week but I figure I should change it up each week so I don't get bored. I had a lot of fun this week just throwing stuff into a pan and figuring it out! I might try that again this week. The only down side to this week is I had to eat out a few times. Well I guess I didn't have to but I chose to and even though I stuck with what I'm supposed to eat, I still didn't feel like it was the best because I didn't cook it and have no idea what it was cooked in. So I guess I'll be doing a lot of cooking this month which is good because I'm starting to like it and get faster at it. Anyways, I guess I will update again later. Thanks for reading!
Way to go on another great couple of days. <3 I LOVE asparagus and sauteed mushrooms. I don't know if your like other veggies, but I often cut up zucchini and yellow squash along with asparagus and roast it in the oven. YUMMY.
ReplyDeleteI use Cavenders seasoning on all of my meat and veggies...I also was introduced to spaghetti squash the other day with a little bit of red sauce it tasted really good and was a great substitute for noddles. Can't wait to hear about your new recipes. :)--A
Hi there! Thanks for reading! I DO like zucchini and squash! I bought some at the grocery store, thanks for suggesting that! I couldn't find Cavenders seasoning in the spices aisle? I will definitely have to try the spaghetti, thanks for the tip :)
