That's what it feels like , that I am saying "here we go again". I am not ready to give up, learned from my past mistakes. Ready to do this again. I have lost 2 pounds in a week by eating healthier, drinking more water, watching my portions and moving more.

Good and better news

Monday, September 26, 2011

Finally had a physical done after waiting 3 years after the doctor told me that I had a bit of high cholesterol. Finally decided that what the heck. Just get the testing done. So, I have dropped bad cholesterol numbers, and raised a little bit of the good cholesterol. I couldn't believe it, asked the doctor if my results didn't get mixed up with someone else's. I think it might have to do with my every morning oatmeal with a tablespoon of flax seed. Also less baked goodies.
Was feeling so good that I said why not to the mammogram that the doctor suggested, as I have already hit 40. A couple of days later got a call that they want ultrasound of my right breast, as they found a lump. I told them that I will charge for that lol. To cut the long story short, they also did a biopsy, and found out that it is a fibroid. So All is Well. Didn't tell my folks as they will worry for nothing. Had to tell someone. so you are it. Thanks for listening.

Tofu can be delicious

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

I wanted to share this great vegetarian recipe with you that I tried yesterday. For us, it's a keeper.
So basically, You get 1 pound of extra firm tofu, from which you drain all the water. Put it in a few layers of paper towels to dry out. you can also put it under a heavy saucepan. Seperately you mix up a sauce of 3 tbsp. rice vinegar(I used apple cider vinegar),3 tbsp. sugar,1tbsp. ketchup,2tbsp. soy sauce,1/2 tsp. ground ginger, red chilli pepper to taste, and about half a cup of broth(I used water)
Slice one onion and chop 3 garlic cloves
Have your vegetables cut up to stir fry. You can use green pepper, carrots, snow peas, mushrooms, etc.
Heat up the wok. add a little oil, Add sliced onions and chopped garlic. Then add the rest of the vegetables. Stir fry for a couple of min. Add sauce. To thicken the sauce , mix 2 tbsp of cornstarch in some water, and add it to the sauce. After that , add cubed tofu. Stir fry for a min. or 2. Serve it warm with brown rice or noodles.
Try it and let me know if you liked it.

Zumba

Saturday, January 15, 2011

Oh boy!!!!!! I am so excited. I have always been looking for something that will give me a good workout and be fun at the same time. And I have found the answer. Zumba . It feels less like a workout and more like a Basically it is based on latin dancing and high energy.
The instructor said that In one hour we can burn anywhere from 500-800 cals, Depending on our internsity. I have tried it and love it. I think everyone should try it atleast once and if your gym does not offer it, then request them to do so.
