Back to the daily grind
Today I started up again with SparkPeople. I haven't been there in ages but I think I need to do something. I've kind of just been stuck in a rut. I haven't loss anything but I've also not gained anything back.
Phil and I have been doing cardio every now and then but it's so hard to start jogging when you haven't done it in a few years! Phil talked with this guy who works for the Running Room and he suggested that I do 20 minutes every other day and then go up in increments of 5 minutes until I can do 30-45 minutes no problem. Anyone do this? Does it really work? Ooohhh... the chest pains! Anyway....
I made this oh-so-delicious meal last night for supper that I thought I'd share :D
the following recipe yields ALOT of food; you can add or subtract any of the veggies so that there's less
3 Peppers
(I prefer Yellow, Orange and Red... Green always seems to taste like dirt... besides these add more colour)
1 Zucchini
(about 8-10 inches long / 1.5-2.5 inches thick)
1 Onion
Snow peas or something similar
Cut all your veggies into bite size pieces and set aside. Set your stovetop to a medium heat. In a large cooking pot (or Stir Frying Pan) add about a tablespoon or more of olive oil; stir around so that it doesn't burn (when oil smokes, it's hot enough). Throw in your veggies in groups starting with the ones that will take the longest to cook (in this case Peppers, Zuch then Onions). Give each group a couple of minutes to cook then throw in the next batch. Add seasoning and pepper to taste. Serve on a bed of whole grain rice or with chicken.
Variations: Try adding Carrots or switch out one of the peppers for Cauliflower. I've also added Tomatoes at the end of cooking just to warm them.
Delicious! Let me know how you guys do or tell me your different variations!
Hi Maddy!
Mmmn...veggies! ^_^ That sounds like a yummy dish - I wish I had time to cook up something in the kitchen :(
Anyway, I don't know if you still remember me... I used to own midheaven.net and you used to host a fanlisting for one of my online friends ^_^ I just wanted to let you know that I don't own midheaven.net anymore. I was forced to register midheaven.org instead because someone stole my domain name *sob... - I have to divert traffic to that site now)... and thank you very much for hosting me before!
