So, it has been far too long since my last post. Sorry about that... kind of got a little sidetracked with the dozens of daily back and forth emails with schools in New Mexico for my research. Whoa! Life is crazy sometimes.
Anyway, the reset is done. Erica and I both survived the 14-day crunch. We got to eat a real breakfast this morning! HOORAY! I had one egg and a bowl of grits. AMAZING... but man am I full. It's awesome, although I now have to workout when I get home. Luckily mom and dad mailed be free weights and lifting gloves for my birthday, so I am ready to go. Phase I of the P.I.N.K is 21 days of 40 minute workouts 7 days a week. Let's see how it impacts the scale, but so far I am down 8.6 lbs, so I am not going to complain.
A great dinner recipe (as Allison requested!) the other night is Asian inspired stir-fry of yellow bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and chicken (which I marinated in garlic and lemon juice for an hour before cooking). Add a splash of low-sodium soy sauce or any other low-everything sauce, cook over the stove until veggies are tender and chicken is done. Poor into a bowl and devour. It is filling and yummy -- no rice required unless you want it!
Yum. Thank you for chicken stir fry idea as tonight I ate two hot dogs and an avocado for dinner (standing up, straight off a fork no less) See what happens to me when you take a break from blogging!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to here about the workouts. 40 mins/day x 7/days a week! WOW!
