Happy day-before-the-weekend-starts everyone!
I'm looking forward to a visit from DS#4 and his family this weekend. He plans to hunt on our property and the kiddos will swim and play on our playscape...We may even build a fire and let the kids make S'mores. I love the fall!!
Tonight I tried a new recipe. It is called "Quinoa Stuffed Red Peppers" from a blog called Damn Delicious (damndelicious.net). It was pretty good. GoodMan even liked it. The only issue I had with it is I try to keep my protein higher than my carbs and there was a lot of carbs in that meal. It will probably fit my lifestyle once I am at or near my maintenance weight, but I wonder whether it will be beneficial for weight loss. I'm not on a low carb diet, more of a "calorie-counting balanced fat/carb/protein diet". This recipe fit all but one of those criteria.
I'm making mental plans for my upcoming trip downstate to stay with my sister and look after my mother. I will go down on Monday morning and return Thursday night. No one down there knows I've made this lifestyle change. I just dread discussing weight and dieting for days on end. My mother has been morbidly obese my whole life (380+ pounds) and my whole family has weight issues. I plan to take my Ninja blender and smoothie ingredients for breakfasts, and since my mother likes fish I plan to prepare some for us for at least one meal (maybe I can even make fish for either lunch or dinner each day). My mother has type II diabetes, but she uses visits as her opportunity to "splurge" (actually, according to my sister she splurges regularly, but blames it on visitors, cravings, stress, etc). I'd like to have a plan to avoid those splurges at least for myself even if I can't convince my mom to abstain.
I will also pack tennis shoes and workout clothes. My sister may have some exercise equipment, but if not I can always walk.
I hope everyone has a spectacular weekend! Make it special in your own way. TTFN
