Prise's journal

[Prise]

I have been reading this board as a guest for awhile. I read a lot of supports and motivation so I decided to sign in and join this boards hoping to push myself in order to shade some lbs off. I just started phase 1 yesterday and telling myself I will walk thru this road all the way. I wrote down my food diary in the book and I think it might be a good idea to post daily food intake in here too.

6/13/11 Monday Phase 1 day 1

B - spinach-cheese eggwhite omelet
Black coffee with 1 package of Truvia
S - (Too busy painting the porch so I forgot to have some snacks)

L- 2 cups stir fried zucchini with pork and eggwhite
S- 4 oz. grilled chicken
1 cup stir fried zucchini (left over from lunch)
D- 4 oz. grilled salmon
- 1 cup stir fried zucchini (left over from lunch)

Exercise: Walking outside 30 minutes

P.S.
- I grow my vegetables at my backyard. There are a lot of zucchinis for me to pick everyday. I like them stir fried or roasted.
- I buy a big pack of meat, fish or chicken and cut into about 4 oz. put in a ziplock bag and freeze them. It is easy to just pull out enough for a day and know your portion control.
- I think I will post my recipe as well since the food I cook is asian food.

Stir fried Zucchini with pork and eggwhite

1 clove garlick minced
4 cups zucchini slice
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup egg beater (optional)
1 cup slice lean pork or chicken

1. Heat a wok over medium heat for about 1 minutes then add minced garlic saute until light brown
2. Add pork or chicken stir and let it cooks.
3. Add zucchini and cook for about 4 minutes until soft.
4. Add soysauce and taste to see if you need more (add more if you want).
5. If you want to add some egg now it time to pour the egg , let it sets then stir it quickly

I normally cook the large batch and eat them all day for lunch or snack or even dinner.

That is almost exactly how I make my stir fry, but I never thought to add egg! I have always added the egg to the rice, and never thought to include it in the actual stir fry itself. I will be making this as soon as I get new soy sauce. After making my stir fry last night, I noticed corn syrup was in my favorite lite soy sauce so I am throwing it away and finding a lite soy sauce with no sugar added!

[Prise]

Quirquie: I normally use only one tbsp soysauce and if I need more favor I just sprinkle some salt. Let me know if you like adding egg in your stir fry.

OnaMi: Thanks. I just love veggies stir fry over salad.

@grace2 I love food and love to cook. That's why I have so much problem with my weight. Now I am learning how to cook healthy and substitute some ingredient that illegal with SB friendly lists. Today I made Kelp Noodles pad Thai and it was so good. I don't feel like I miss noodle. About Kelp noodle, it made from seaweed so there is zero carbs in it. One bag will fill you the whole way and if you cook them long enough until soften, it will taste and look like 'glass noodle'.


Here is my today menu:
6/16/11 Phase 1 Day 4

B- 2 zucchini-flaxseed muffins
1 cup light soymilk

L- Pad Thai Kelp noodle with pork and tofu
3 cups bean sprouts

About a cup of left over Pad Thai

D- 4oz. grilled salmon
2 cups roasted green beans
1/2 cup of avocado salsa

Exercise: 25 minutes yoga, 50 minutes pilate, 30 minutes walking (outside)

I went to B-day party today and survived b-day cake temptation. The party started at 6 so I stuffed myself with some snacks and grilled chickens before leaving the house. I had Mexican beans soup and grilled meat at the party. The soup was so greasy so I just used fork to eat my beans; one at a time. Then they passed the mexican cake, I had one in front of me and just looked at it. I didn't feel like I want to have a bite at all. It is so amazing how SBD works.

B-- 2 zucchini-flaxseed muffins
1 cup light soymilk
L--A big bowl of 'chicken fried(zucchini-cauliflower) rice

Exercise: 30 minutes yoga
