weight off week 10

[cornerofmadness]

and it's a lite weight version of a post. Want exercise, do what I did today. clean house. urgh.

Successes? failures? exercises/recipes to share? go nuts.

I gained 2 pounds but given my period show be here any minute now, I'm going to chalk it up to water weight and not start criticizing myself for gaining weight.

Here's another beginning cook friendly recipe. If you can boil water and chop things, you've got this one kicked. It's pretty good but as always, I think I like tabbouleh then I sit there going, hmmm am I sure I like this texture? The taste is very good and you can always play with the spices and the veggies going in without greatly impacting calorie count


Minted Tabbouleh
Serves 4

1 cup bulgur
1 cup boiling water
1 large tomato halved, seeded and chopped
2 mini (Persian) cucumbers diced
2 celery stalks diced
½ cup fresh chopped mint
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 table spoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper.

1. Put bulgur in large bowl. Pour boiling water over and let stand until water is absorbed @ 30 min.
2. Add all remaining ingredients to bulgur, toss well to mix, transfer to serving bowl. Serve at once or cover and refridge of a couple days

Note: I prefer to use a little more lemon juice and I use garam marsala instead of the spices since they’re all in that mix.
