Last night I went to a cooking class on how to make Chinese Dumplings. A weakness...love them. Anyway, we all got to have some hands on experience in making them. I couldn't help but think of the various ways and combinations of ingredients I could try and how they would fit into my new healthy lifestyle. Mmmm...can't wait to experiment some.
I am happy to report that today I managed to get up and make it to the gym in time for my usual 40 minutes on the elliptical. This afternoon, I decided to also join the group doing a 5-mile hike after work. So, good for me that I managed to get some great exercise in today. Makes up for the dumplings we ate last night in class...hopefully.
I came home and managed a quick stir fry...purple carrots, onions, shitake mushrooms, and bok choy. I think I didn't quite have the seasonings down, so its not the best experiment. I'll search online and find something to try that might be more tasty. I rounded it out with some boiled egg whites for a little protein and some avacado...need to eat it before I have to throw it out!
Tomorrow is weigh in day #2. I'm hopeful that I was able to meet the various challenges I had during the weekend and show a weight loss. But, as I learned the first time around, don't sweat the bumps along the way...keep your eye on the prize! Another great mantra...feel free to use it. During my first weight loss, I adopted a motto...Keep on Truckin. So, that even if I was met with slight setbacks or challenges, I would just Keep on Truckin! This seemed to really help with my motivation.
