I loved all your comments yesterday about my obsessiveness-carb habits lately. I love the fact that so many of you made a really good point:
try just balancing in other foods!
HA, that would be…so…logical! Why didn’t I think of that! For the past couple of days I’ve been walking around thinking that I had to cut back on my carbs when you are right, instead of thinking I have to cut back on carbs, I just need to look at it as adding in more other foods.
Here’s what I had for lunch & dinner yesterday…to help even things out a little & balance my eating.
YUM!
- 1lb ground turkey, browned
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 1 can chick peas, drained
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
Brown ground turkey. Mix taco seasoning in with ground beef & let cook for 5 minutes. Add corn, chick peas & black beans in a bowl & add ground beef. Stir all ingredients together and separate into separate containers…perfect alternative to a frozen meal and so filling!
Gym update. Remember how I mentioned last week I only went to the gym 2x and both times were for a personal trainer appointment (thank God for personal trainer appointments!) Well, I did my Monday evening personal trainer appointment and had every intention of going on Tuesday after work but we had a snow storm (yep, 2-3 inches now constitues a “storm.) I skipped the gym.
Yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat & chills both of which lingered all day. I knew I needed to go to the gym because I couldn’t allow for ANOTHER excuse to win. So after work, I forced my crabby, chilled self to the gym and ran for 30 minutes. I hated every minute of it but did it anyways. Now, I can say I went to the gym. WAHOO!!!
Christmas at our house
Just wanted to share some Christmas spirit with ya’ll. I had my outside Christmas lights hung up by Halloween (but didn’t turn them on until Mid-November).
the chimney with care.
presents under there soon enough.
Book Arrived
Remember a couple of days ago I mentioned that I finally jumped on Amazon.com and got the book ya’ll have told me to read?
Wahoo!! I finally got it and CAN’T wait to start reading it! Now, just to find the time! HA, who has time!?!
I haven’t figured out how yet to do the “book club” but that’ll come in January sometime. Until then, if your game to read it with me, make sure to get your copy. At the beginning part of January, I’ll start the book discussion so be ready! Can’t wait – it seems so far away!
Cool Article
And, in case you missed my Twitter update & Facebook updates yesterday, click here for a way cool awesome article from That’s Fit.com I can’t believe that’s me, that I’m “woman blogged her way to a 100 pound loss.!” It’s so weird to see me referred to as a “woman” – I’m me, not a “woman!” YEAH!!!
Today…well, I’m still not feeling well. You know that tingle in your nose right before you sneeze? I’ve had it since yesterday and now its painful. My head hurts and nose is running so I’m going to go curl up and sleep the day away.
