Today, I am pleasantly surprised to see my weight dropped again. I feel well as my lifestyle changes to a healthy one. I can see me being able to jump on the trampoline with my children. Only one time before was I able to jump and that was only for a few seconds. It took awhile to be able to even lift my feet off the trampoline. I just figured it was from excess baggage.
I eat a lot of salads and still get my 7 ounces of protein in. The other day, I and my 5 year old daughter had lunch at Denny's. I ordered grilled chicken salad which was good, but pretty pricey. I used lemon wedges and lemon juice and sprinkled sweetner on it. My little girl and I had a wonderful time. She was so good. When I went up to pay my bill, the cashier told me it was paid. She pointed out a lady who paid it. I walked over to her and said "Thank you for the blessing." She told me that one time someone else paid for her lunch when she was out with her little boy because her child was quiet and good and she always wanted to pay it forward someday. I just looked at her nd gave her a hug telling her how much her gift meant to me. Now some day, I will pay it forward.
Yesterday, my meats were all chicken. Last night for dinner I tried a new recipe and ecided to try it. It is a recipe for 'fried red potatos'. Now even when i am not dieting, etc., I am not a potato lover. When i was doing Atkin's, the mock food recipes were amazing. My favorite on Atkin's was Mock Potato Salad, in which you use frozen broccoli florettes and bake them in the oven to draw out the moisture. Then you use them as potatos to make your salad. It is very good. I added eggs, mayo, a bit of mustard, easy on the dill, a squeeze of lemon, grated cheese and black olives. Don't forget your seasonings. Tasty..
Now to get back to fried potatos on phase 2 of HCG....You need radishes, the red ones. Yes, I said radishes. Slice them up and saute them in fat free chicken juice till tender. I sauted mine until the liquid ran out then sort of let them brown. Then i added a bit of seasoning. They were so good. One day, I will try them with a bit of onion.
There are a lot of recipes out there. Here is a link to a pdf file on some recipes :
It sure makes 500 calories per day less monotonous.
