My resolve to eat at least one veggie meal a week wavered. We had fallen back into the super carnivore lifestyle. It's just easier to make a meal revolve around meat!
Then something happened. My small chest freezer.... My less than TWO YEARS OLD chest freezer.....died. And I did not realize it died until it was far FAR too late. I had at least two months worth of meat in that thing. I'm a bargain shopper so I stock up when it's on sale. So I said "today's a good day for stir fry..." We've had three meatless meals this week. Well yesterday's was almost meatless. I had a few pork pieces I put in a pot of black eyed peas for flavor. Today we eat the last roast we had in the inside freezer.
I don't think the untimely death of the chest freezer was entirely bad (I mean besides the hundreds of dollars of food we lost). It forced me to get creative and pull out some of our old favorites. Like Pad Thai and Penne Rosa. We've had both this week. And tomorrow I'm thinking a good old stir fry is in order...that would mean 4 meatless suppers this week! Plus a bonus on leftover night Sunday...the kitchen closes on Sundays.
I still have not lost any weight but I HAVE lost inches. I'd rather see pounds but inches will have to do for now. I really need more cardio. And I really hate cardio! Especially running! And what am I doing Saturday? Running/jogging/limping in a 5K. Because I want to say yep i did that. I have lost. My. Mind.......
