Postings CAN be scarce on the weekends, eh? For me, I'm home most weekdays and until my piano students come, I'm on here ALL the time!
The weekends are busier; my hubby is home and there are errands and friends... busy, busy, busy.
All is well on the diet front! I've been holding steady at 73 pounds lost for the last few days and probably will be for the next week or so as TOM is lurking RIGHT around the corner.
LUCKY... Mmmm.... SALMON! I usually buy two fresh fillets or steaks (occasionally frozen fillets). I put about 2 tbls of lite becel margarine in the microwave, melt it, add an equal part of lemon in to the dish. I also add spices to the mixture: oregano, basil, garlic, pepper, salt, etc. and pour it over the salmon. I bake the salmon at 390 in a shallow pan (lined with aluminum foil) for a 1/2 hour making sure to coat the bottom of the salmon with the mixture too so that it doesn't stick. (Partially frozen fish, I would cook for at least 45 minutes). It's YUMMY! I've also grilled salmon steaks (coated in the same mixture) with my George Foreman Clone Grill! That's good too! I think that it was BAYLEE that once suggested a sauce of lite/fat free sour cream, horseradish sauce, and pepper, and, once and a while, we use a little of that for a change (usually with the frozen fish).
MICHELLE... No, I haven't received that package yet but am REALLY looking forward to it some day early this week!
Yah! You're so great! Your little tyke will look adorable in his bumblebee costume, I'm sure! Yikes... I just thought about Halloween candy! I dunno... I might "pretend I'm not home" this halloween! I TOTALLY love passing out candy to the kids; I usually get dressed up too and play scary music out of our window BUT... I dunno if I can resist all that candy in our house. I CONSIDERED buying it right before we need it and keeping it in the trunk of the car until the last minute and then putting it back right after and letting my hubby take it work and let his co-workers go wild.... we'll see!
SHELLS... You still there?
I think that you are usually home during weekdays too. Do you get busy on the weekends too? I just don't want to lose you! You have to stick with us and we'll definitely help you see results!
KAT... Good for you on the exercise! I think you're doing awesome! You're right... steady exercise is a HUGE part of losing and maintaining your weight. I've been taking a break from jogging for the last couple of days (on purpose) but will probably get back out there tonight or tomorrow! I HAVE been doing a lot of sit ups and weight training on my arms in the last few days to combat...yikes... saggy skin! I'm gonna go do that shortly!
I'm gonna take off for a bit but will be back shortly!
