No working out

But made a delicious egg and artichoke wrap this morning which was delicious. When I go to the gym tomorrow I'm not going to be happy with what has happened but it was a long great weekend.

Cooking and shopping for one

Cooking and shopping for one is really difficult. I end up using the same ingredient for about 3 days in my dinners bc otherwise it goes bad and is wasted. That ends up being 6 meals bc there are always left overs. Not sure how to deal with this. I don't want it to get to be annoying to the point that I get to snacking bc I'm bored. I have learned not to buy the junk bc I will eat it. Ie cookies. Ugh. But it is also making me get creative on recipes.

Food update

So since my tumblr is turning into all food I thought I might as well write about it for recipe purposes.

Pictured here is chicken tofu and green beans.

1 chicken breast
Marinated in soy sauce, chicken broth, sriracha, sugar, corn starch.
Tofu was pan fried for a second to keep its form with a little garlic.
Cook chicken. Add garlic onions and green beans. Cook. Add tofu and hot chili oil.

Yay! Probably woulda been great over rice. But pita did ok.

Run run

Good elliptical. But I don't want to plateau. Doing arms. Gonna have to change up my cardio. It sucks bc it's going to make the work out seem so much longer without the heroes on Netflix. But until I reach my goal I need to push and it should be hard.

Spaghetti squash

Omg it tool forever but totally worth the wait. It was so much fun making this dish. Lots of veggies seasoned with soy sauce and ginger over the spaghetti squash. Great!

So hungry afternoon

I'm starving right now. I hella ate pbj too which means a lots of calories. No yogurt snack today. I wish I would have brought some carrots to munch on. Dinner not for a hella long time but time will fly as soon as I get out of the office. I might try to make that spaghetti squash!

Fatty failure

I failed this weekend. But not too horribly. I just will need to work harder. The scale at the dr was a disappointment. I want to drop the ten pounds for this month faster! Just gotta stay on the plan. Even on the weekends! It's going to take some discipline but it's something I want to do.

Disappointed

I woke up this morning very disappointed that I had seconds of paella last night. I was not strong and should have just gone to bed. I told myself it was ok bc of the amount of exercise I did. But I really wasnt hungry and it was late. So I shouldn't have eaten it. There is no way I will lose another ten pounds eating like that. I have newly set a ten pound per month goal for the next two months. Set a weight goal for Christmas basically hopefully I'll meet that. I need to read a little about what happens as time goes on. I'm assuming my body is going to adjust to fewer calories and the weight won't shed. So I will probably need to consume even less calories. This makes me sad bc it means even less good food. But once I reach my goals I should be able to increase without gaining in order to maintain the goal weight.

I have also decided that in November I'm doing 30 day shred. I am actually considering starting it oct 15 since I'm sure I'll have zero discipline during thanksgiving time. Ugh. Feeling sad about this.

Tired

I'm feeling really tired today. No idea why. Thinking about doing a long work out tonight too. Might not happen with this tiredness. I do think I might try to change it up with cardio by doing a little stationary bike to make it harder. I know I can't let my body get used to the same thing. That's why I don't end up going anywhere before. Maybe? Not really sure.

These weekends

They are always so tough to do well eating. But I think this one was pretty successful. Tried to stay pretty healthy. The drinking killed a lot of it. Don't know how I'm going to get around that.

Back on track for the week. I'm nervous about weighing in today. Hopefully I haven't slipped back towards disaster.

Again. I don't notice progress. I wish I did.
