I finished up with my personal trainer at the end of June, and felt great!! I didn't lose any weight, but I definitely trimmed the body fat!! I plan to go back to my trainer 2 times per week in September!
While we are away from "home", and all the get togethers, etc, I have tried to get a handle on my kids eating! I have control over every single one of their meals, and no one else has to deal with the fall out!! They still get their normal breakfasts: cereal, toast, waffles, or pancakes (although now I am using unbleached flour). For lunch, again, nothing too new, mostly sandwiches on whole grain bread and soup. We have been keeping the fruit bowl well stocked with peaches, nectarines, plums, bananas, apples, cherries, and bananas. The fridge also has precut carrots, celery, broccoli, and cucumber. These are the only things allowed for snacks in between meals! They have adapted to this pretty good. I even had Josh and Nathan eat a freshly prepared fruit salad for snack this morning (they have never been willing to eat this before!!). They both loved it!!
For suppers, we have been going a little more "exotic"!! We have had asian noodle salads (not a favourite of the boys, but it was fabulous!), stir fry's, and some new fish dishes (the boys apparently like mahi-mahi fish; tastes like chicken according to them).
Anyways, I am going to share two of our (my) favourite dishes!!
Basic Fish Tacos Recipe (chow.com)
The boys loved this one! I premade the tacos, and served them in a glass rectangular dish. I had sour cream, and salsa as condiments.
Kimchi Noodle Salad (Forks Over Knives--The Cookbook)
The boys didn't much care for this one, but Todd and I loved it!! Just check the "heat" of your kimchi before adding the full amount. I only put about 1 1/4 cups in, as it would have been too spicy otherwise!
Happy Eating!! I just sent Todd out to get ingredients to make a Miso Vegetable Udon soup for tonight. I'll post it if it turns out good!
