My weight was 162 by my scales this am. Let's hope the doc's are them same. I've been really working at staying busy and not snacking. However, there are some dark chocolate Kisses around here that seriously need to disappear. If it weren't for the health benefits....
Made a pretty decent supper last night. Hubby seemed to enjoy it but it wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be.
You'll need some chicken breasts, Worstershire sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, diced onions, fresh chopped rosemary, salt and pepper.
Saute the onions in olive oil for a bit, then add 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsps of honey, and 2 tsps of Worstershire sauce. Continue cooking until the onions are soft, pour into a bowl and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and add a little bit of olive oil. Cover breasts with salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Cook breasts thoroughly and plate. Pour a bit of the mixture over.
I roasted some small red potatoes and steamed some broccoli for the sides.
I'm stressed. All I think about is bread and butter and sweets. My brain is in rebellion and siding up with my body. My spirit and heart are shrinking back in horror. I exercise every other day: an hour run: an eensy beensy bit over 2 miles. Anyone who runs, knows that not fast. But I swing weights all over, so its a dancing/prancing/trot-run. I gotta get out of this rut!!! How do I begin with portion control? What does a portion look like?
ReplyDeleteHi Isabel! I'm so sorry I've done a disappearing act. Working on a post to explain that. I envy you being able to run. I'd look like a shetland pony bouncing around if I tried--definitely a no-no on the joints. Just keep going! You're inspiring me and as of today, I'm back on.
ReplyDeleteThere are some plates you can buy that help to visually size up portions but basically it is something like this: the meat shouldn't be larger than the palm of your hand, say a 3 x 3 square or so for instance.
Here are a few sites that have good information: http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/nutrition-labels-10/slideshow-serving-sizes

Hope they help.
