I have never enjoyed fish (or purple yogurt) very much, but in the last year I have realized that I've always had it overcooked. Jen made the most fantastic salmon tonight, one with lemon and dill and one with maple syrup. Amazing!!
Adrian came home with me and before bed he wanted purple yogurt...really dark purple, grandma! So we made purple yogurt and ate it with grandma's new spoons. Adrian wants you to know that he's wearing pull ups to bed now. We read two stories on my tablet. Good night Adrian!
Pete mentioned his metabolism tonight and I'm still amazed at how mine has changed. As long as I eat at least every 2.5 hours, I'm good to go. I forgot to report on Monday that I weighed in at 179, for a total loss of 115 lbs, and I just can't believe how much I'm eating. Especially in the afternoon, if I get hungry, even if it's only been an hour, I just eat again. The more I do that, the less I eat after supper. I still use a lot of single serving products, but if I'm eating tuna or chicken, I often have a double serving, to ensure I get enough protein. It's really the only thing I measure any more. I always have a rough idea of calories, but if I have enough protein, I don't really worry about measuring my carbs, fat or sodium etc. I eat a lot, and when I started the program, I was convinced that I could never enjoy as many calories as other people...wrong again!! Yahoo!
I love my life, elly
Be careful!! I once brought an Adrian home with me, and he never left. Now he eats all my yogurt, and the rest of my food as well!

You have altered your metabolism and have it working at its most efficient level by regular exercise, eating every 2 hours and focusing on protein. Your body adapts according to how you feed it and move it which dates back to the feast or famine days. If your not taking care of it regularly at correct intervals, its going to hold on to whatever you feed it, and if you choose not to move it it becomes sluggish.
ReplyDeleteGood on you Elly! So So So proud!
