Boiled Egg – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

I’m so in love with this dinner. It’s making me feel nourished, satisfied and happy this evening. Half of the plate was covered in a mixed green salad with cauliflower, boiled egg, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onions, purple cabbage, chopped bacon and homemade croutons. I made another creamy dressing, which was so easy, it’s ridiculous that I haven’t made creamy dressings at home before.

I placed about 4 T mayonnaise in a small jar with 1/3 C milk, about 1/4 (or more to taste) salt, dill, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place lid on jar and shake. The result is a very thin and flavorful dressing. A little goes a long way.

The shrimp was tossed in cajun seasoning and cooked in the skillet with a little olive oil and butter. The sweet potatoes were tossed with about 1 T. leftover bacon grease, sea salt, garlic and cayenne. They were roasted at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. They were fantastic. I think I prefer savory sweet potatoes so much more than sweetened ones.

Oh! Thank you guys for the exercise recommendations here and on facebook today. I pulled out my resistance bands and did a lot of arm and leg work. I’m already starting to feel sore!

We’re experiencing some major wind and below zero temperatures tonight! Time to break out my quilt and boil water for a mug of tea.

What is your favorite way to prepare sweet potatoes?

Yesterday’s breakfast was a banana nut muffin and hardboiled egg. Two breakfast items that I have ready for grabbing and eating in the morning. I love having healthy prepared food on hand for mornings that I just want to eat and not cook (most mornings). I almost always wake up hungry and this is enough food to keep me full until lunch time.

I’m always reminding myself that I can be full and satisfied on less food. By default, I always want to eat more. I hope over time my default will be “enough”. But, I have to remember that this is something I deal with and act accordingly. For now, I will want more muffins, more eggs…more. I don’t need it, I’m not hungry, it’s just a habit I’ve gotten used to. total calories: 270

I think about eating out and how most plates are filled with enough food for four meals. In a lot of ways we are conditioned to want more food. I find that I am scared of hunger. I’ve been known to order food on a menu that I think will give me the most food. Have you ever done that?

This meal was enough.

And around noon I was hungry again. It’s okay to be hungry.

Dinner was delicious. And honestly I was famished by the time I got to cooking.

One of my favorite quick and healthy meals. Spinach salad with 1/2 boiled egg, tomato, feta and vinaigrette dressing. Sweet potatoes cooked in the microwave until tender, sliced 1/4-1/2 inch thick and fried in a little olive oil on the skillet. Sprinkled with sea salt, garlic and cayenne. About 1/3 C rice noodles with grilled pork marinated in fish sauce, lime juice, garlic and sucanat. Total calories: 550-600

Another late night snack of a muffin: 200 calories

No exercise! Boo to us! We really should have exercised before dinner. By the time we had dinner in us all we wanted to do was veg out. I ended up falling asleep on the couch to The Stand. I can’t make this stuff up.

We’re celebrating Easter with my family this weekend. My plan is to exercise before we hit the road this morning and again over the weekend. I want to be as active as possible. I’m even thinking about going to the rec. center for raquet ball.

I’m planning to make a big salad for easter dinner and fill up half my plate with it. I’m also going to make a carrot cake with natural sugar, whole wheat flour and lots of fruit and vegetables. And finally, I am reminding myself to drink lots of water, take photos and be mindful.

What are your holiday eating plans?
