hello wwt! i was so disappointed last night. my gym just got new ellipticals and they went down a step in quality - i think they are the home models rather than the gym models. they don't have as many features as the old ones and feel flimsy - mine kept wobbling around while i was working.
i'll try out a different machine today and hopefully it will be better.
and then, the thai curry, which is usually one of my favorite meals, did not come out well at all. i think i got a bad eggplant and it made the whole thing terribly bitter. we couldn't eat it and had to throw it out, which makes me sad about all the wasted veggies.
plus, i opened a new bottle of the curry paste i usually use and it tastes totally different - bland, with no spice at all. i added tons, way more than usual, and it still didn't have much flavor. disappointing all around! i ended up picking out the tofu, hosing it off (a technique i learned from an old college roomie!) and sauteeing it with teriyaki sauce, plus i sliced up a sweet potato thinly and baked to make chips. the highlight of the evening was a small dish of slow-churned.
today: steel cut oats with banana and a smidge of peanut butter for breakfast (i love this!), veggie lasagna and a clementine for lunch, and a clif z bar for a snack. for dinner i am making kale chips with something else, just not sure what the something is yet.
i am also going to the gym after work.
bee, don't you love it when you can feel yourself improving?
skippy, i love animals too. i should put up a monkey picture from costa rica for you, if i can ever remember to resize my pics. congrats on the weight loss too.
rod, i didn't mean no snacks at work, just that i need to avoid the cakes and cookies and other junk people bring in. healthy snacks are ok! sending dust on the job front.
qas, cookinglight.com has lots of good lighter cake recipes, in every flavor you can possible imagine. try not to get discouraged, it takes time! depending on how hard you are working out, you may also not be eating enough. if you're working out really intensely every day, you probably need to stay near the 1500 end of your range so that your body is getting enough fuel.
marcy, i'm sure you'll get to minus 150 soon. but i agree with the suggestion that it might help to add in a little more exercise if possible, to shake things up.
dee, it is a great idea to do exercises that you like so that you stick with it!
mara, thanks for moving the cupcake discussion to another thread! and congrats to greg on the new gig.
appletini, i am jealous of your sunshine, since it's raining here today.
apologies if i missed anyone!
