Does anyone even check on me anymore? I have been pretty boring. Sorry. Not losing (but thankfully not gaining). Yup. 277.6 lbs still. Don't get me wrong, I didn't gain anything and that is nothing to sneeze at considering I am not actively exercising or really doing anything different in my diet except eating better fats (butter and coconut oil) and homemade food (a lot of it prepared in a traditional method according to this book). And I am doing this awesome ecourse!!
I have made some very yummy things in the last couple of weeks. It is so easy though it does take some forethought. No throwing something together at the last minute. But I am enjoying learning the new methods and incorporating them into my normal routines. It's fun and I love that I am making the foods more nutritious for my family.
There is a soaked muffin recipe that I keep trying with different add ins. I am going to soak some flour and oats tonight to make the muffins tomorrow morning for breakfast, nothing like fresh hot muffins in the morning. I think tomorrow's will have some chopped up chocolate chips and some shredded coconut.
My family also really enjoyed the soaked pancakes and the homemade soaked pasta. I haven't made the soaked biscuits yet. Oh and let me tell you, I have been trying to make my family eat brown rice for years, no one likes it, we gag it down with some chicken and veggies once in a while, but it is a cheap bulk item I really would love us to eat more of. I have never been able to get it to taste good. It ends up still hard on the inside (or I burn it up with not enough water) or it has no flavor. Well, I made the soaked rice and it was SO good!! And my husband liked it too! and he always gags an obligatory bite down and wonders why we can't eat white rice. YAY for soaking and traditional foods!
Maybe I will get some motivation this week to exercise. I say that each week hoping it will be true... if yu want to see how others did this week check out Eclipsed.
I still check on you. :-) And you're right...staying the same is better than gaining.
ReplyDeleteI still check on you too! But I wish I could check more often...seems I only get to read my favorite blogs one or maybe two times a week. Busy days these are! I made some soaked pancakes a while ago and they were SO good! You made your own pasta? For real?!? That is awesome...I haven't gotten that ambitious yet, but like you, I am enjoying learning how to cook more naturally and make delicious and HEALTHY food for my family!
ReplyDeletePS - I bet that adding in a bit of activity will be exactly what your body needs to drop some more weight.
PSS - did you get hit by the big snowstorm tonight?
