Yup, that's me, Chef Wendy. I feel like all I've done the last 2 days is cook! Yesterday I made a big ol' vat of sauce with tons of veggies, ground turkey, ground beef, and turkey sausage. YUMMO!! I also tried a remake of my beloved tuna noodle casserole, using rice. Instead of cream of celery soup, I tried making a white sauce with almond milk, cornstarch and broth, and celery. It seemed to work ok, but when I took it out of the oven, it was NASTY tasting! I managed to eat 1/2 a serving, but had to dump the rest. Laura spit out the one bite she tried. Oh well, live and learn. I had 1/2 portion of my sauce to make up for it, and at least that was yummy!
Tonight I made stuffed peppers. I used a SparkPeople recipe, and it was soooooo good! We all loved it, and I've been asked to put it on the menu rotation. No problemo!
I did 35 minutes on the elliptical today--would have stopped at 30 but I was in the middle of a chapter and I wanted to finish, so... I wonder if I could handle 45 minutes? Don't see why not. Maybe I'll give it a shot. When I was coming out of the gym, I noticed they had a table set up outside with nutrition info. There was a bag with a model of 5 pounds of fat. YUCK!! I can't believe 44 of those have come off of me! I'd like to do an Oprah and put them in a wagon and pull it around for a bit. Even a backpack with 4 of them (20 pounds) would be an awesome way to realize what I've lost in the past 2 months. Or, as someone else said (on a cool list of what weighs so many pounds), I've lost an average automobile tire and a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts this year, and since 5/14/01 I've lost an average American fashion model (117 pounds) plus a 2 month old horse (100 pounds) plus an ostrich egg (4 pounds). Kind of puts it in perspective!!!
The time change is killing me. I am SOOOO tired, and I really did NOT want to get up this AM! And that was after having a tough time falling asleep last night, since it seemed too early. It's gonna take me a week to get my act in gear. And if Spring doesn't come soon I'm gonna scream--I am SO tired of cold and grey! At least we didn't get hammered with snow this year.
My shoulder is coming along. A bit sore today since I used it WAY too much yesterday cooking. I really have to be careful not to overdo it. Did a sort of abreviated PT session--no pushing it. Tomorrow I'll resume my normal home routine. I also had my first lymphatic drainage today. Very relaxing. I hope it helps. Might be coincidental, but I've had to pee alot today. Hopefully that will show up on the scale tomorrow morning!
