Almost 5 months out....

Hey guys! Hope everyones doing well. So I have been stalled the last couple weeks at 155-154, was wondering what are some things on your menu??? I might have to change some things up.

I've been on a seafood binge lately. I breakup a big bag of shrimp or scallops into single servings so I can defrost them quickly for dinner. It feels like a treat and they are both high protein. Also, I have been cooking up ground turkey with some diced onions and then a dash of low cal barbecue sauce. And there are some recipes online for "egg roll in a bowl" & variations. It's a WW recipe that is basically ground beef or turkey with ginger, garlic, soy mixed with coleslaw.

As for stalls, I don't even talk about them anymore. I'm just happy whenever the scale moves. But I have changed my exercise lately (started doing a morning workout DVD every day instead of walking & using my trainer) and that has really helped. Think my body just needed a change.

I have an instant pot and love using that sucker. So easy to keep it healthy. Just add whatever kind of meat, seasonings, water or broth and cook. No extra fat needed. When I was stalling around that time it was actually when I needed to up my calories. Also, my body was still changing even when my weight stayed the same.

Stalling may mean moving calories up???? Oh my. I amy need to.
And yes, inches drop even when lbs are static.

We always follow our self-imposed "rule of two" for dinner, a protein and a veggie. Hubby is a gourmet cook and the possibilities are endless. (He loves wandering around the grocery store to see what looks good). Last night was seared ahi tuna and broccoli. He typically does the veggies in the cast iron skillet which makes them so good! I also follow my nut's advice as the less legs the better, so we do eat a lot of seafood.

Huh?
The less legs, the better?
What does that mean?
Don't eat insects for sure, but the rest?
Poultry is better than beef and fish is better than poultry?
But why?

I don't eat meat at all, but I do eat fish.
But I sure like the sound of that advice, I have never heard of that though.

"Fewer legs the better" = lower cholesterol, fewer total fats, fewer trans fats, fewer calories.

And cockroaches don't count.

She means fish is the best for you, then chicken/turkey, and finally pork/beef. Maybe just her opinion, but I really eat a lot of fish!

I love the seafood so much :-)
Lentils are also good if you can get them down, cooked all kinds of ways :-)

I have just "discovered" lentils. Well, I knew about them but hadn't really eaten them previously.
I make a really yummy salad with a can of lentils (drained), halved cherry tomatoes, copped red onion, feta cheese and torn basil leaves. Dressing of a little lemon juice and olive oil.
Totally delicious and keeps for a few days too which is great as I can't eat that much of it. My partner loves it too so there is usually not too much leftover
