Seriously, it's hard just to shop for two completely different body types. He continues to lose weight with the above eating regiment. Me? I gain weight watching him.
So, I am going to dedicate this blog going forward as a memory book, or a journal to list and explain what works (in terms of recipies/shopping lists/meals out) and what doesn't work.
To start, I need to make a list of the food Matt (my husband, obviously!) likes to eat that could potentially be good for us. Now, I know this is a very granular process - however I am taking this very seriously because I am fed up with my body and the way I look. This seems like the only way to make a positive and successful change!
- Greek yogurt - now this is kind of a tricky one, because he really doesn't know he likes it. If you were to ask, he would say no. So, it must be camouflaged.
- Peas - he loves peas, but they have a significant amount of sugar in them. So, we will use them sparingly.
- Corn - again, a lot of natural sugar in corn, so will be used sparingly.
- Onions - he prefers them fried, again, I wish I had his metabolism! Fried will not be happening, so maybe I can crisp them up in other ways.
- Lean meats (turkey, chicken) - he prefers deli meats, but because of the sodium, this will have to be replaced also.
- Tuna - only out of the can, I know, it could be worse.
- Oranges
- Watermelon
- Blueberries
- Olives
- Hard boiled eggs - he likes them on their own, and egg salad... will need to work on this one.
This is to be continued...
