I weighed again yesterday and had lost all the weight that I had gained back. Yay! Now I can concentrate on going forward and losing more weight. This means that I have lost a total of 20 pounds since I first started keeping track. I got some Yogurt and Wheat Thin Crackers. All the flavors are yummy, but try Strawberry with the Wheat Thin Crackers. It kind of tastes like strawberry shortcake. Yum! Be sure to get the kind with active cultures in it. This makes it healthier. You could also add some low-fat cottage cheese to this and add some protein.
I also went to the doctor the other day. All of my tests are looking pretty good. I've been trying to be more consistent in eating healthy. I'm sure it helps. I've also started exercising some. I do need to be more consistent, but every little bit helps. I do get some exercise babysitting my little grandbaby. Not really a lot. He's still really small, not very heavy or active. So for right now I'm ok, but as he gets bigger I may start having trouble lifting him. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, though.
I guess for now I will post another recipe. After all we do have to eat. We just need to be wise about it!
Taco Salad
1 pound ground Chuck or Turkey.
!Packet Taco Seasoning.
Taco Salad Shells or Flatbread or Nacho Chips.
1 Head Lettuce; chopped or a bag of Combination Salad.
Diced Tomatoes.
Shredded Cheddar or Mexican Cheese.
Taco Sauce.
Sour Cream (low-fat).
Can grate 1-2 Carrots for added nutrition, if you don't use the Combination salad.
Put the Ground Meat in a skillet and brown over medium-high heat.
Preheat oven to temperature in directions for shells.
Add the Taco Seasoning Packet and prepare according to directions.
Put the shells in the oven and bake according to directions. You can save calories by using Tortilla Chips instead of Shells and limiting the amount you eat.
Remove Shells from the oven and allow to cool a few minutes.
Put the Lettuce Salad and Tomatoes in the shells.
Put the Ground Meat Mixture on top of the salad ingredients.
Add the Cheese, Sour Cream, and Taco Sauce to the Salad.
Toss to mix.
Eat and enjoy!
