I spoiled myself yesterday with two skinny margaritas. Except two of them, I ate about 1/2 cup of soup [and the "mixture" and lemonade I mention below].
Today on the other hand I spoiled myself with healthy yummy food.
I start my morning with a glass of water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper [since discovering health benefits of cayenne, I add it to everything!!]. and then mixture of teaspoon of flaxseed meal, oat bran and bran along with two to three spoons of fat free greek yogurt [I've got to admit, I LOVE the FF greek yogurt!]. That little mixture is great for fiber and digestion.
Cup of spinach salad.
I also made super easy and healthy curried zucchini soup! It's basically a "cream" soup, as you blend all the veggies and add little [guess what?] yup, the yogurt. I use homemade vegetable stock and just onions, zucchini and curry.
I also ate half of whole wheat wrap, with tuna, dijonaise [OMG, that stuff is brilliant!! Such a low calorie condiment!], tomatoes, peppers and lettuce. My BF devoured one and a half!
I've been basically making everything from scratch at home, I want only the best ingredients and I want to know what's my food. From soup stock to dressings, all homemade... except bread [for my BF] and wraps[I dont' eat many, but I freeze them and they stay fresh for long]. He loves how everything tastes; he gets a lot bigger portions of course accompanied by either bread or potatoes or rice... I skip those.
I've drastically reduced my portions, when I say cup of soup, it's really less than a cup, the salads and veggies are a heaping cup etc.
I love food and I love cooking [but know I just cook very light and eat small portions]; before I used to love to go out but the portions in restaurants are enormous and they cook everything with butter or other shit; you really don't know what's in your food. While I still like to go out; I get mostly salads or sushi [I would never ever in million years give up sushi!]
Anyway, tomorrow I weight in; I don't feel like I'm loosing anything...but then again I have long way to go to see results...
