Well, Steve says that my cooking is so good that he has gained too much weight. I don't cook totally high calorie but he says it's the portion control he has issue with! LOL I personally would like to lose this last 10 pounds so we are making some simple changes first. I am cutting out my sweet tea (my vice) and he is cutting back on sodas (which he drinks WAY too much of) and replacing with water. We also started "Meatless Mondays" for dinner. Tonight I made a simple vege stir fry with brown rice. I bought frozen stir fry but only with veges - no other ingredients. I did use a bottled teriyaki sauce instead of making my own because I didn't have all of the ingredients to make it tonight but that will be something I make up for future use. I am also using my "Lose It" app on my phone to track my calorie intake. I was a little over budget today but I thought I needed to get rid of the remainder of the Girl Scout cookies in the box that was already open! hehe.....
Next week I am going to make cheese & onion enchiladas. I had to do a lot of searching on Pinterest trying to come up with great "meatless" recipes. I'll keep you posted on the progress of our small changes. We may have to step it up. I am trying to get back into my running and prepare for a 10K!! Steve is in the middle of a show right now and is having a hard time getting to the gym so we shall see if the food intake makes a difference. I am also trying to cook my other week-day meals a lot lighter and then I plan to make a favorite dish on the week-end. My "Lose It" app says I am to lose 2 lbs per week and have a goal of May 20th to have this accomplished. It's a goal..... it's now written down for anyone to see...... so now I feel really accountable to get it done! I will keep the posting on the progress! :)
