Hello All, I just tried this recipe for spicy nut mix thatI got from the South Beach website. They are addictive! I couldn't find roasted edamame so I substituted a cup of raw pumpkin seeds instead.
Spicy Nut Mix
Serves: 20
Details:
An outrageous blend of nuts, soybeans, and spices makes a supercharged snack that provides an energy boost. Don't be put off by the number of ingredients — the mix takes just 5 minutes to put together. We recommend packing small amounts of the cooled mixture into resealable bags for quick grab-and-go snacks.
Tip:
Roasted edamame is available at supermarkets and specialty stores. If you can't find it, just add more of any other nut to make 5 cups.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large egg whites
1 cup unsalted soy nuts
1 cup roasted edamame
1 cup pecan pieces
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup granular sugar substitute
Directions:
Preheat oven to 225° F. In a small bowl, add first 6 ingredients and blend. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Whisk in spice mixture. Add nuts and sugar substitute; toss to coat.
Evenly divide nut mixture between two nonstick baking sheets, preferably with sides. (If sheets are not nonstick, line them with parchment paper.) Spread nuts to evenly cover sheets. Bake 1 hour 5 minutes, until nuts are dry and toasted. Stir every 20 minutes. Cool on baking sheet.

aarrggg!! I just bought a new scale and it weighs 5lbs heavier than the old one. Not to worry guys, I didn't actually gain 5 lbs, it's just the new scale. It's psychologically frustrating though, I feel like I haven't gotten anywhere! But, it doesn't matter what the scale says...I know all the working out has gained me muscle because I can feel it, and my pants are fitting a lot loser than before so I still feel pretty good.

Well...This is day 7, 1 week down. I stayed away from the scale all week and this morning I was very excited to find I has lost 5lb! Hooray! The first few days were a little rough, lots of cravings and hungry all the time, but I actually feel really good now. I have a lot of energy and the workouts are getting easier. I can't wait until the end of 2 weeks so I can have a glass of wine with my dinner though!

Day 3 and I'm doing ok. I worked out for the first time in a LONG time today, 20min. of pilates and 20min. of elliptical - baby steps! Doing pretty good with the food, I haven't had any restricted foods but I'm probably eating more than I should. I am feeling optimistic and confident today! I'm resisting the urge to weigh myself for a couple of days because I have been an obsessive scale slave in the past. This is kind of fun thinking up new creative ways to cook dinner.
