As I mentioned before, I am on a weight loss journey. So far, I'm pleased with the results - a loss of 37 lbs since 7/5/07. I still have lots to go, but that's ok. I'm learning what I can eat, and what I can't. Scrambled eggs are on my NO list, and as of yesterday, so is cream cheese! Some things just don't want to stay down! Ok, I know, TMI.
I've been changing my cooking habits, since I'm not eating much anymore, and Louie is trying to lose a few pounds himself. Josh also needs to lose, or at least maintain until he hits his growth spurt. So, it's usually chicken or lean meat, and some kind of veggie for dinner. Since Louie works most days, lunch is just Josh and me. I am pleased to say that Josh's french fry habit has been cut back since we've gotten home from Florida. He usually has a "snack wrap" that I make for him, or a hamburger or whatever, but no fries. When I do let him have fries at home, they are just baked potato wedges. Lots less fat. I like to have a little soup or salad for my lunch.
It's funny how much of our lives and social interactions revolve around food. I love to cook, and I love to entertain, so it's always been a big part of our get togethers. Now, I'm looking at food differently, trying to find delicious but nutritious recipes. I like trying new recipes, and its wonderful to find something that all three of us like! If it's a hit for us, it's something I can keep in mind when I am cooking for friends and family.
Speaking of that...gotta find a good Mahi-Mahi recipe for dinner tonight! Abbasynian!
