First, I must recommend the fish tacos again. We had this again last night and it was soooo yummy. I have got to remember to make this more often. I make it with tilapia since it is cheaper than red snapper. Other than that, the recipe is perfect. The “crema” has fat free mayonnaise and sometimes I question that, but in this there is really no need to use the other stuff. The concept of a fish taco was a little unsettling to me at first since I am not from where this is a common food. But I am so glad I tried it.
I think tonight I will make the noodles with the peanut sauce again.
I had another appointment today and the doctor recommended the south beach cookbook. I may have to check that out. The one recipe she described sounded pretty basic, but quick which is a good thing sometimes.
Ok. I have a question. I need toning. I have considered Curves, but I am just not so sure. I have only known one person who went for very long and she does not have “I work out” look that I would really like to accomplish. Is this just her, or is this just typical for curves? I know it is about strengthening and you don’t have to have a ripped body to be strong. I know all that. It is just that at this point I would like something that will give me some nice results and reflect just how hard I have worked. So anyway, is it worth it? I went for a while years ago, but I was in the beginning of a diet. Now, I have made it past that quitter stage and I don’t question that I would stick to it if I was happy with it.
And onto other things…i don’t know if the week in DC and the lack of exercise allowed my metabolism to reset itself or what. But I am suddenly at 161. Eleven pounds to go until I will re-evaluate the situation and see where I want to be with my weight. I can’t imagine going below 150, but who knows. I am so scared of trying to maintain. I fear that I have two gears: gaining and losing. I am worried about trying to find the right amount of calories and all that. But I need to just chill for a bit. Eleven pounds will take a while. No need to worry yet.
I STILL have not made it up to the track. Of course, I have had doctors appointments and long hospital visits and taking care of my nephews. I still don’t feel like it is fair to take that time when my sister is putting in some serious hours at the hospital. I have to do my part, therefore the walking/running will have to wait. I will be out of town again next week and maybe be able to find some time then. I feel ashamed for even thinking about it and for being out of town, but once I am back in town I will be taking over with the family responsibilities as long as dad is in rehab from the stroke. And my life, my family responsibilities and my exercise will settle into a routine at that point.
