weight off - week 19

[cornerofmadness]

Time for more sharing once again. Yes. I'm still on the plateau. And unless cleaning counts, no I haven't exercised like I should (and yet I still managed to maim myself). Share your joys and woes, exercise tips and recipes. You know the drill.

Yes another recipe from me (You're probably thinking this food is not helping her any so why should I...)



Shang Kimchi
(summer or raw kimchii)
14 cups @ 2 pounds of napa cabbage chopped.
3 tbs kosher salt
21/2 tbs Thai chile paste
1 tbs toasted sesame seeds
2 tbs minced garlic
2 tsp sesame oils

1. Place cabbage and salt in a large bowl, tossing to combine. Weight down cabbage with another bowl and let stand at room temp. For @ 3 hours, tossing occasionally. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again, squeeze dry.
2. combine cabbage, sesame seeds, and remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Yield @ 3 cups.
Serving size @ ¼ cup, 19 calories, 2.5 g carbs

NOTE – If you can’t find the paste, Sriracha sauce (the hot sauce in a squeeze bottle you see in Asian restaurants)

Personally, I think the kind of cleaning you've been doing does count as exercise. I did try your South Beach Tuna salad the other night and it was great.

A tip I've heard that seemed to work for me fairly well last week especially in regards to after dinner snacking, brush your teeth after you eat dinner. It'll help you not eat after wards.

oh good then I exercised

Yes, Lisa said you guys tried it. Glad you liked it.

hmmm that sounds easy enough to try

Cleaning counts as a work out. Livestrong.com will give you the round-about calorie count for it. They aren't always exactly correct but they're pretty close.

Also, I got over the 2 mile mark on my walk this morning! I am bound and determined to lose 20 pounds. So go me walking 2.2 miles this morning.

cool thanks

good for you. They're widening the road I live on so it's no longer single laned. Maybe I'll be able to walk without getting run down.

well, I am still very far from my goal, but I feel like I am not moving backwards, when it would be so easy right now, so I`m gonna choose to be ok with that for today although I know I need to do better. Lots of my plateauing is about me not being as careful as I could be about my diet (and not wanting to give up the wine) but I pretty much know it, so feel free to call me on it..
Trying to use the gym as stress burner and not so much food and drink
Cleaning does count, just watch out for those cleaning injuries:)

as long as you're not going backwards, it's doing okay in my book.

I wouldn't want to give up wine either. Here's hoping you can find a few other places to nip/tuck the diet
