We haven't been quite as good about checking in here and posting lately. Shame on us.
I've got a power cord and my computer is working just fine now. I also have discovered a wonderfully yummy food item that I'm going to go and buy in massive quantities.
At WalMart, they have butternut squash in bags. Washed, peeled, and chopped into little cubes. If you've ever had a winter squash, it's horrible to cut into one. Well, all the work is done, and all you have to do is stab the bag with a fork a few times -- er, poke holes in the bag -- and toss it in the microwave for 4 minutes to steam it!
That's all I had for supper tonight, although I did put a little butter, salt, and pepper on it. It was sooo yummy. :) I could eat that every day. And I just might....Okay, maybe not EVERY day...but, a few times per week. Yum!
That, some sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Mmmmm....
I should note that I was on a sweet potato kick the year I discovered that I like savory sweet potatoes. I would eat multiples per day (well, you know...more than one if they were small....) I don't know if it was that or the twice per week yoga classes, but I lost 7 pounds. The secret was in eating them before eating anything else, kind of like that apple diet that I read about once upon a time. (Although, for that, you were supposed to eat an apple 30 minutes before each meal. That would fill your tummy up so you didn't eat as much at the meal. And, of course, it takes at least 20 minutes before your brain realizes your stomach is full.)
Yep, I know. It's amazing how much I know about how to lose weight and be healthy, and yet...I'm still overweight. I need to start following some of my own advice, don't I?
