I guess I should change the title of this journal because I certainly do not "weigh in" daily ! Daily is just too often for me to post although I love what a couple of people are doing in using daily checklists for the MWL program. Good idea !
I do journal what I have eaten just for myself and also keep track of my exercise by looking at my fitbit app. Sundays are one of two days off for me and I look forward to my easy day of reading, watching TV etc. Even though tomorrow is a holiday and the gym is closed I plan to get outside and walk my three miles and do my three sets of squats. Keeping things regular works for me.
I made some veggie burgers a couple of days ago with black beans and quinoa (from Vegan Under Pressure ) and they turned out great. I try to always have some things to eat that I can just warm up and put together. I don't always feel like following recipes. So right now I have brown rice cooked up, a couple of white and one sweet potato, black bean burgers and smokey black beans in the fridge and ready to warm up. I eat the smokey beans cold many times.....LOVE them !
So far this week has been going well. I had one afternoon that was difficult and I need to remember NOT to get too hungry !! I had exercised and then stayed outside to weed the garden (was already sweaty so why not keep it up ?). Well, by the time I got into the house I was STARVING and ate my lunch and continued to eat, eat, eat.....BUT I stayed within my guidelines and was able to stop before I was stuffed. Later, had dinner but it was a small amount because I was not really very hungry. So.....I count that as a success and a learning experience.
Tonight I had potatoes that were cooked in my small crockpot, seasoned them and put them over uncooked spinach. The leaves wilted a bit and it tasted good ! Also steamed veggies and my smokey black beans and a banana. I feel satisfied for the day and will just drink water this evening while my husband and I watch TV together.
Tomorrow will be a quiet day as my children all have prior committments. I plan on doing some work on scrapbook pages....still working on old pics of our camping trips.
That is all for now. Nothing too interesting.
Have a good week everyone and I will too !
