So, I hope at least one person has looked at my post from yesterday, and seen my AWESOME fall decorations!!! Conceited, I know. But, I am just so darn excited about them!!!
Today is Wednesday...And what a Wednesday it is!! Lovie and I are on our third day of dieting. We are trying a low-carb diet...AKA: The Atkins Diet. And let me tell you...I fell like something that isn't very good right now!! But, I just see that as my body freaking out at the fact that I haven't had a Coke in 3 days! Quite frankly, I am ok with that, and it just gives me more motivation to keep on keeping on!
Everyone keeps telling me that I don't need to diet, that I am already skinny. Being 'skinny' means nothing to me. I want to be healthy and in shape. Right now, I am neither. I guess I shouldn't say that we are 'dieting', but rather are implementing a lifestyle change. We both need to eat healthier and be more aware of what we put into our bodies. You are what you eat, right?
I will say that I have gotten Lovie to try asparagus (YUM) and he liked it!! YES! 1 point for Julie!! :) I also made cauliflower, and I did something wrong, because it looked nothing like the recipe picture. It was not very good, but I am still excited to try more new food and recipes.
Yesterday I searched the interwebs looking for low-carb recipes and I found this gem:
Heath loves to get the Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls from the frozen section at the grocery store. It's a quick and easy breakfast for him. (quite pricey too) Well, after finding this post, I was super motivated and ready to make them!! I stopped and got some eggs on my way home and we cooked them last night, and they looked yummy! I am not a really big egg fan, so these were just for Heath. I get so excited when I have the chance to make him any kind of 'goody'. Anywho. When I got home, I cooked up some bacon we had left over in the fridge. I also cooked some breakfast sausage we had. Then we whisked up 12 eggs. To the eggs we added the cooked sausage and bacon, and also some cheese. In our excited-ness, we forgot to add seasoning, so don't forget the seasoning!! :) Then we scooped the egg mixture into greased muffin tins. I only had one regular sized muffin tin and one tiny muffin tin. Our mixture was enough to fill all 12 spots in my regular sized muffin tin, and 16 spots in my mini muffin tin! :) Then we baked them at 350 degrees until they were firm. The mini 'muffins' were done a lot quicker than the regular sized ones, so we took those out early.
After they were done cooking, I popped them out of the tins and let them cool. Then, we bagged them into ziploc bags and stuck them in the fridge. He took a few of them for lunch, heated them up in the microwave, and said they were pretty good!!
I know I can't take credit for coming up with the recipe, but I am pretty happy with the fact that I found a recipe for something Heath likes and that he will eat! :) I love to cook, and it's satisfying when something you make turns out well - because, in my case, it usually doesn't!!
One more thing I am proud of that I did today: I walked!!! I walked to my car at lunch, changed my shoes and walked up our looooong parking lot (uphill) and then to the sidewalk on the main road, back down to my car, changed shoes back to my sparkly cute ones - don't judge, then back inside! It was quite sunny today, so I got fairly warm. I think tomorrow I will bring a T-shirt and change before walking. It might not be much, but it's more than I was doing before :) It's all about the small things, right?!
Have a Wacky Wednesday everyone!!
♥♥♥♥
