I learned a lesson last week- never, ever run out of fresh veggies!
I did, and it cost me! I now weigh an even 300. That's only a one and a half pound gain, but still, I was under 300 before last week!
What did I eat? Well, I ran out of veggies, so I had to fill in with pasta and a little bread. Okay so i didn't have to, but I did. I had to for my family, but not for me- I could have had something else, but I was too tired to cook something different. So I ate and now I'm paying the price.
But not this week! :)
I bought another container of fresh baby spinach, a bad of romaine lettuce, and I plan on eating a lot of greens this week int he form of wraps and salads. Yes, wraps are bread, but they don't make me tired, so I'll allow them in small doses. I made a nice pot of soup over the weekend, so soup and a salad sounds good for lunch. Dinner will probably be a chicken Cobb salad. YUM!
I walked to the gym today, and found out it was about a mile- two miles round trip! And a workout on top of it? I'm definitely going to lose something this week!
In the meantime, I'm keeping my chins up and possibly consider getting rid of all pastas in my house (probably be cooking them for my family- I never toss out food if I can help it!). I have a pasta maker, and am looking into rice flour or a gluten-free 'flour' to use as a substitute. Flavored pastas sound good too- provided I can invent one that won't make me tired!
God Bless, and keep it positive!
