I have to record my journal already and I got real tired of typing it out twice but rest assured Im journaling.. at journaltosuccess +)
Im SO proud! Yesterday I was so hungry I was actually rifling through the kitchen looking for food although I had all my points. I ended up resisting and not going over.
Tallara- I'm not a vegetarian but I try to eat a lot of veggies and only a small amount of meat. I need to eat a little protein with each meal or I don't feel good. I am trying to keep my carbs low and only eat wholewheat bread and grains.
Yesterday I had a can of tuna with 1 tbsp non-fat mayo and 1 tsp wasabi- lime mustard ( made 2 really big sandwiches) ate one in a.m and one for dinner.
The hummous counts as some protein since it is made out of chick peas.
Tabouleh is a Lebanese salad made of chopped parsley, a little finely chopped tomato, finely chopped onion, garlic, olive oil and spices. Some people add bulgur ( a grain - kind of looks like couscous) to it - others don’t. It is very yummy!
mau, if you like a chunkier tuna, I add red onion, apple, eggwhite and chopped pickles in mine =)
I bet we probably get in the same amt of protein. I eat meat everyday (well not beef) at least chicken or.. well ok i eat chicken almost every day haha and I eat a little peanutbutter sometimes too. My beef consumption has plummeted to about 1 4oz serving a week. Only because I dont want to eat hamburgers every day and there are many more recipes for chicken

mau your menus are fantastic. what a variety of things you have there! Im such a boring cook.. I was most certainly NOT born junecleaver Ill tell you that
Thanks Tallara ! I think it helps if you actually enjoy cooking, which I do, plus I like to try different cuisines from all over the world.
The fish dish is from a Weight Watcher's book in which all the recipes take 15 minutes to cook. It turned out pretty good but I would add some more herbs or a bit of hot paprika next time to jazz it up a bit.
Tonight I am making osso buco from one of the Somercizing books I have.
