TRYING TO GET HEALTHY Community Group

Thought we could use a newer version of all topics we may want to work on. From losing weight to reducing cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, activities to strengthen not just our bodies, but also our battered and bruised egos and self esteem...A place where we can share knowledge as well as encouragement to help each other to grow stronger and healthier. All are...

Truly feeling like that queen today....

Of those VEGGIES that is.


Had a bit of a setback, but went and stocked up on veggies today. I do better with some sort of a menu plan so that is what I did. I do love to cook and am currently still gung ho and cannot wait to play in the kitchen  (yeah ok, since I can't play anywhere else. lol)


Among some of my goodies in store....salmon, steamed baby rainbow potatoes, carrots and brocolli


.....got a london broil to cut a portion off one end and cube for stirfry with squash, brocolli, carrots , onions,  pepper strips  (just started to buy the yellow and orange as they help with degenerative eye disease which stbx has) snow peas and mushrooms. Will have that with rice .


.....the other part of the broil will be with baby potatoes , carrots, onions and garlic  in the oven?  or sauteed with mushrooms and onions  instead? 


.....tonight am doing eggplant parmesan. 


...also got some baby raddichio. Thought I would strip up the brocolli stems I sometimes throw away plus some finely julienned carrots to sautee with a hint of sesame oil, throw in that finely shredded raddicchio and some toasted sesame seeds?  


...bought lowfat vanilla yogurt , granola and fresh blueberries...apples, grapes ...  so many options I don't know where to start.



So... WHO'S COMING FOR DINNER?   lol


JUst as I used to apologize for being so chatty, now I feel I need to for being so bubbly.  (can't help it am just excited . Is a good thing for me anyway.) Forgive me if I am annoying.

I know. I did buy a smaller bag of babies to throw in for him (he is a meat and potato man) plus I must admit I may like just one or two here and there with good veggies.

Is the Pa dutch in me that still tries to grab a starch or two. lol

Potatoes are not bad. They contain important nutrients, especially the skins, are high in Vitamin C (36% daily value), B6, Niacin and folate, are a great source of potassium (27%) and as a complex carbohydrates, are a good source of energy.

Demonizing entire foods/food groups bad!

Because neither of us could afford it out on our own til all finances are settled and agreed upon. The house will also need to be sold . I paused everything because of his health issues. But today another one comes creeping up.

I am feeling guilty for still wanting to start over on my own and hopefully find some peace and contentment. I do wish I had someone to love me (and me him) as opposed to just needing me.

I did the eggplant parmesan . You should have seen the look I got. (I figured if he liked veggie lasagna eggplant parm would be good. WRONG. ) he did actually eat it and said it was not that bad, but wouldn't want it again.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Jeff is not big on carbs. I could not go cold turkey but am limiting them. Is hard because I was also raised with meat and potatoes...I am trying to balance things , smaller meals and light planned snacks (afternoon when I get home and later in the evening )
