Earlier in the week I posted about my grilled baby bok choy. I still have a ton of bok choy left, so I decided I would throw some in my fried "rice" (for those of you who are new here, I typically use quinoa instead of rice - tonight I used a quinoa/bulger mix). I also used sesame oil instead of olive oil (yes, I realize sesame does not qualify as a healthy oil...but it's SO darn good!!). I added my usual peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, onions and celery, and then tossed in some yellow summer squash (I call 'em yellow zucchini) and cabbage. When almost ready, I added my fish sauce (oops, I forgot to measure, so I added a bit more than usual) and soy sauce, as well as one egg white to bind it all together. As always, I tossed in some spices.
This was the BEST version of my fried "rice" that I've made to date! I'm not sure if it was the extra fish sauce or the sesame oil. I suspect it was the oil :) I did not want this supper to end!!
Maintenance Week 5:
Today: +1.3lbs
Total: -123.5lbs
Difference to goal: +1.1lbs
I am one week away from lifetime status. While I will be fine if I stay the same, ideally I would like to get back under my goal weight (rather than being 1.1 over as I am right now). Not sure why the gains two weeks in a row - perhaps it's all part of the maintenance process, or perhaps I've gotten slack these past couple of weeks. Either way, I am dropping my daily points to 29 for the week and am going to be super careful about sodium starting earlier in the week than usual. I have a couple of challenges coming up this week - one being a retirement party for a co-worker that is out of town - not only do I have no idea what they are serving (other than it'll be finger foods), but I'll also be out of town and eating on the road for 24 hours. I don't do well with eating in restaurants...but I do find them easier than stand-up reception-type events...
Stay tuned!
