Trying something new. Recipe Tuesday

Grilled Salmon. Quinoa with Leeks and Mushrooms. Green Salad.

Weight Watchers Weekly , April 13-19, 2014.Property of Weight Watchers.

everyone said, "It's DELICIOUS!"

I had to try this recipe because everyone kept on raving about it at the Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday. They all made it sound DELICIOUS. My husband agreed. I will add some lemon grind, a spice and cook the veggies for less time next time. Don't get me wrong, it was indeed Yummy!

The Salmon was seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon. Grilled on each side for about 4 minutes. The green salad was a simple red leaf lettuce and roman lettuce blend with tomato. All easy and ready for the table in 20 min. (everything cooked about 5 min faster than directions).

Hope you try it and give reviews.

To trying something new!

 

Sunday fun day.

Had fun...after my morning work-out. 

Hiking

I'm not blogging much because I just got my Los Angeles magazine. This issue is about hiking so I really wany to read it. I'll provide a summary.

To happy trailing.

Double Tuesday - accountability

I completed the scheduled work-out though I made changes as I went along because my vertigo kicked in.

I kept a slow steady pace and followed my own yoga sequence to make sure I could do the pose. This gave me more control and discouraged quitting.

To finding center.

Set-backs

Everyone has set-backs it is what we do with them that will make the difference.  During my exercise down time I am reading about meal plans, detox smoothies and setting my calendar for April.

I have also started to track my points on weight watchers. Now it's just a matter of putting  these plans into action.

To less dizzy spells.

Yes

I'm still dizzy and I'm laying low.

Double Tuesday - Accountability

I need to push harder to keep on seeing results.

Tuesday's are also a fave because it is the third day of work-outs during my training week. Completing work-outs as scheduled makes me feel strong and the yoga class after work also gives me a nice change of pace.

Accountability

It is time for me to focus on meals. Not a complaining, I can't do this type of conversation but simply an okay this is what I have to eat and I'm sticking to it. I became a weight watchers member a few months ago in order to start counting points and get my food under control. I did not share this sooner because I'M NOT FOLLOWING THE PROGRAM. Then I started the 12-week program and started their meal plan until the week I got sick (week 2) and I follow it 66% of the time. Not good enough, I say. 

Following a meal plan is not magic nor is it rocket science. It is just a matter of following the plan and practice the much coveted "push away" method. If I can't eat it, "push away". If I shouldn't eat it, "push away". The "walk away" and "run away" are also good methods.  

I'm in a good mental and emotional state so it is a perfect time to go  back to basics. Back to Clean Eating for the remainder of the 12-week program. I will take pictures of everything I put in my mouth today and share at the end of the day. This will not include what I already ate today. 

Breakfast.

• Egg whites with green salsa
• 1/4 cup of beans 
• two corn tortillas.
