1/13/2024 0 Comments Mumble jumbleI think that during training isn’t a very good time to focus on weight loss goals, as you can inefficiently fuel yourself and result in injury. Online I’ve found that I should eat 1395 calories/day to lose, yet I see so many bloggers who eat WAY more than that and maintain a low weight. I’m training for a half marathon & trying to lose about 7 lbs. I LOVE baigan bhartha (pureed eggplant with tomatoes, peas and spices) and dal bukara (which has lentils and spices), with some tandoori roti (whole wheat naan) to scoop everything up □ Other low-cal and healthy options are veg jalfreezi (mixed veggies, I ask for no potatoes), channa masala (chickpeas with tomatoes and spices) and (assuming you eat meat) anything from the tandoori menu, which is grilled meat with peppers and onions. What exactly is in the Indian dish that you always get? Any other suggestions for healthy, low-cal Indian food? I kept on trucking on, and am very fortunate to have the amazing readership I have today. I also made sure to read and leave quality comments on other blogs (more than “looks good!” but tried to think of something fun and different to say) with hopes that other blog readers and bloggies would visit my blog. In the beginning, I just wrote my little heart out about things I know and care about. Q & A (from the Ask Me Anything page) You have a huge amount of people that follow your blog, which is awesome! How did you get people to notice it in the beginning? I *will not* let the cold get in my way…. I’m off to make some green juice, meet Ashley at the gym and then go for a run. The pilot and I came back to the casa and CRASHED! ![]() Usually don’t mind hanging out at the squadron but I couldn’t wait to get home, take a shower and put some jammies on □ I wrote this post from the squadron bar (yes, they have a bar at their place of employment) and munched my jumble-aya. Zumba was glorious, and then I came to the squadron to wait for the pilot who is debriefing right now after his flight. Thank goodness Ashley met me on base to get a visitor’s pass for me (thank you, friend). Last week, I drove the half hour home to get the ID then back to base (and missed pilates) but tonight I just wasn’t going to do it. It doesn’t matter how much you beg, tell them you work there, or bribe with raw macaroons… they just won’t go for it. I did this last week, too, and they will NOT let you on base without an ID. To fill the *sweets void* I had some brown rice cereal:Īfter leaving the casa and getting to base for pilates, I realized that I left my base ID at home. Lent obviously isn’t a *diet* but staying away from sweets has that same forbidden attitude, which should make these 40 days very interesting (and very rewarding when I stuff my face with a Liz Lovely cookie, or three, on Easter). What makes you want something more than anything in the world? Telling yourself you can’t have it. This my friends is why diets are painful and often unsuccessful. one of my favorite carby delights), I was really, really hankering for some sweets.I didn’t think it would hit me so soon (Lent started THAT DAY) but I think it was the fact that I was subconsciously telling myself to stay away from them. When the batch was finished (using sticky brown rice. I packed it up into containers to take to the gym, and one for the pilot: Tonight was the Jumble-aya from Eat, Drink and Be Vegan (I’ve made this before, and knew it would be perfect to have after work). I had a training appointment, came back to the casa to walk the puppers and make dinner to pack up and take to the gym. Mung bean sprouts would be great in this, too □ The salad had plenty of healthy fat from the almond butter and didn’t technically need more, but the taste didn’t match as well as I thought it would. Next time I think I’ll skip out on the avocado, though. Then topped it off with a dressing made of raw almond butter, rice wine vinegar, cayenne and Nama shoyu and fresh cilantro I made a Thai-style salad beast, by putting greens, bell pepper, shredded carrot, cucumber, fresh pineapple and 1/2 diced avocado into a bowl ![]() The rest of yesterday started out mellow, then turned into a frantic scatterbrained frenzy. ![]() Hey hey hey □ Hope you’re having a fabulous almost-Friday! I LOVE reading all of your name suggestions for the cafe!! I knew you would be an amazing resource and I can’t wait to meet with the owners and pick one out.
