I never thought I would reach this day...ONE WEEK!!! Yay me!!!
I must say, it's getting easier. Not easy by any means, but less horrible. And tomorrow I go get weighed, so hopefully there will be a nice loss to spur me on.
I think I have the shakes down now...mixing either chocolate or vanilla with cold coffee totally tastes like a Starbucks Frappucino, plus it cuts down on the sweetness factor of the shakes. Any case, I actually look forward to the shakes because they taste like treats now.
Gazpacho news: I made it today and I impressed myself with how good it turned out! I found a recipe online and followed it somewhat, but didn't add the olive oil. Still, roma tomatoes, English cucumber, onion, bell pepper, garlic, juice of one lemon, V-8, tabasco, Worchestire sauce, salt and pepper blended in my food processor made for a damn fine soup! And it was not totally pureed, so it was sort of "chewable." There is enough for the next few days - by then, I'm sure I'll be tired of it, but nice to have another veggie option.
I am at the beginning of my weight loss journey and have been reading your blog for inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
ReplyDeleteI want to make the soup you mention, but need a little help with the amount of the ingredients. Can you help me?
Gosh, this was such a long time ago; I don't remember what I used in what amounts, but now I want to make gazpacho again! If I actually do, I'll post the recipe on my Friday mishmash. Thanks so much for reading, Bridget - and good luck with your weight loss!
