Hello to you followers of my blog!
This weeks update brings you Asparagus, Thai no peanut sauce and more good news!!
So yeah, asparagus is delicious! Who knew... don't get me wrong I might be eating more veg these days and I still get some chicken, beef or fish in my meals so I'm not full veggie but these little gems steamed are amazing! On the subject of steaming, why did I not have one of these before, take note students..... meat and veg in the steamer for 15 minutes, cheap and quick food and all you have to do is cut the veg up and set a timer!!! I'm still not convinced by green tea, but I cant really have traditional teas / coffee's so it'll keep me going for now. Picked up a recipe from Sarah Fragoso's blog over at http://everydaypaleo.com/everyday-paleo-thai-no-peanut-sauce/ I think I used a bit too much garlic in it but for a first effort it was really good!
Another tasty number I was trying out this week was a tomato and pepper sauce by Jessica Komoroski on http://gasstovegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/red-pepper-tomato-meat-sauce-over.html I will be making more of this as it was for sure the favourite of the 2.... if you come across any other paleo sauces you think I might like then please do let me know!
Good points;
-Discovered asparagus tips,
-fitted out my kitchen with my own gear including my own blender to make smoothies / sauces with.
Bad points;
-Sleeping is as good as I'd like but trying to get to bed at a reasonable hour doesn't help when your body wont shut down for a few hours or so... must get back into reading again,
-Turned up nearly 4 hours early to uni,
This week's weigh in is......... 215.8lb's (15.4 stone or 97.9kg depending on which flavour you prefer) which is another drop from the previous week of 220.4lb's. Quite happy with this another drop of 4.6lb's or 2.1kg's. Getting considerably closer to that initial goal of 211.6lb's or 17% bodyfat. I am still aiming for 204.6lb's to hit the 14% bodyfat mark though!!! I'm thinking of remeasuring at the end of the month as all the new clothes i got for uni now seem to be hanging off me somewhat... Good news in some ways but sigh more shopping incoming!
So that's all for this week, if there's anything further you think I should be looking to include in the blog please let me know or if you have any general questions about what I'm doing or my motivations etc then again just drop me a line. More to follow next week!
