Well, these last two weeks have been rough. I am up 2 lbs. I don’t know how anyone can gain weight while being sick. I was sick with a chest cold all last week and 1/2 of this week and really didn’t eat that much at all. I really haven’t been able to exercise either. I tried to ride my bike with my daughter on the back of the bike on Thursday, and almost fell over with exhaustion. I did make it through the ride, but it was really tough. That frustrates me. Last month I was able to ride with her without huffing and puffing hardly at all. I hate to have to start at the bottom again. Well, at least there is nowhere else to go but up. Sorry to be a downer tonight.

Ok, this is my favorite one so far… Zucchini “Noodles”!!!  There is a thread in the recipe section on the my medifast site, and it captured my imagination…

V brought over ground buffalo, which we cooked separately in a pan with garlic and spices.  We took potato peelers and made thick “noodles” out of the zucchini, and then microwaved them in the microwave ziplocs.  Then we mixed with tomato (canned) and nuked again.  Then I weighed out my buffalo (5 OZ) and added 2 wedges of Laughing Cow to it.  And then I took my 1.5 cups of zucchini-tomato mixture and tossed it with the buffalo.  Oh my gosh!  It didn’t take much imagination to see the zucc as noodles!  We both devoured our plates of it, and I don’t think V needed any insulin with it either.  (He is type 1, so its fun to come up with low carb dinners that we can both share…)

I wish I had taken a picture of it, it was a humongous plate of food!!

Oh and I bought a few things today to make my days easier… I bought egg beaters and ground flax seed (refrigerator case in Whole Foods for that) , and the Laughing Cow cheese… and V had already brought me some FF cream cheese the other day so I could try that “ice cream” recipe.   Oh yes, and I bought some SF creamer to try.  If I don’t like it I can always bring it to work and donate it.

And I bought some spice to bring to work - some chili powder that I’m really fond of, and some garam masala that I think will be really good in the chicken and rice soup (that one I’m going to taste test before I bring it along).  I’ve been having curry with the chicken soup too, that makes it taste amazing.

I’m loving my Medifast so far, the food is good and I feel VERY STRONG.  Healthy and younger - people have commented on the spring in my step and the glow to my skin, from Day 4 on … very interesting.   I can see that I’m going to be needing to have some MF even when I’m thin, for the health benefits alone!

weight loss the Houston way It is true that you need to love yourself, it is true that you must be comfortable in your own skin and yes it is true that you need to not take what people say about you to heart. But it is also true that if you are so comfortable in your fat body that it leads you to just get fatter that it is not a good thing and that you are simply killing yourself. It is not a case of killing yourself slowly, because if you are over a certain weight and a certain size you are prone to have a heart attack at any minute. This is true because if you are fat you are not active, and the less active you are the more danger you are in. so do not stand aside and let your life pass you by, it is your life, so take control of it, do not tell it get away, be comfortable in your skin, but make sure your skin is not stretched around you, if you need to take a look at liposuction or even weight loss Houston. This is what you need to do for yourself, and the people around, because you are important, if you are not important to yourself, you should know that you are important to some around you. So why not take your life back with weight loss Houston and have a life that everyone dreams
