Today was the first weigh-in of 2012. I lost 0.2 pounds. It's not as much as I wanted, but down is down. I did really good at tracking the first half of the week, but failed miserably the last couple of days. I know that losing weight goes hand in hand with tracking my food and activity, but it seems so hard to do some days. Im going to challenge myself to track 100% this week.
So far I'm off to a good start this week. I've tracked everything I've eaten today, and most of it has been healthy. I also earned a whopping 10 activity points by cleaning my house and my mom's house. I'm almost to my weekly goal of 14!
We tried a new recipe for dinner tonight that was fantastic...turkey, zucchini, amd quinoa meatloaves. The serving size is pretty big and very filling.
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 zucchini, coarsely shredded
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/2 onion, finley chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb ground skinless turkey breast
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff with fork and let cool slightly.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line large rimmed baking pan with foil. Spray foil with non-stick spray.
3. Squeeze zucchini dry and place in large bowl with egg whites, 1/4 cup of chili sauce, onion, sage, salt, and pepper. Add turkey and quinoa and stir to mix well.
4. Shape into 6 loaves. Place loaves on baking pan. Stir together remaining 1/4 cup chili sauce and mustard in small bowl; spread mixture evenly over loaves.
5. Bake until instant read thermometer inserted not side of each loaf reads 165 degrees, 30-35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
