Weight has come off pretty easily this week, which I am very happy about. Maybe this new mini-goal will happen before October 7, and I can make even more progress!
I found a library book with some really good lower fat recipes in it. Some of them are pasta based, and while I can have pasta, no problem, I've been playing arund some with noodles made from zucchini and carrots, and liking them a lot. My DH has type 2 diabetes, so I am thinking of making a couple of the recipes using vegetable-based noodles and/or cauliflower rice in place of the pasta and rice, but still keeping the low fat aspects for me. One is a jalapeno popper 'boat' made in a zucchini, so that one would require no changes. The other is a chicken enchilada skillet supper with pasta...that one seems like a good candidate for some 'zoodles', as my friend calls them.
We're heading into the weekend, so more construction for me! I'm hopeful that we might just get the rest of the soffits done. Next step will be purchasing the bathroom fixtures and framing out for the shower. We have fixtures picked out, but I want to have them in our posession, especially before we frame the shower area. Other than that, I'll do a little more food prep, work around the yard a bit and I think I'm scheduled to give Hubs a haircut. What are your weekend plans?
