I am on here today to admit I fell off my 'non-diet diet' wagon last weekend.
I celebrated my birthday the only way I know how, a weekend full of red wine, tequila, and deep fried foods with great friends! Of course, I fit in a little exercise skiing for one of the days so I am going to try to convince myself it all evens out in the end!
Today I went grocery shopping and picked up all the fresh fruit and veggies required to get me back on the wagon, and already I feel better. I should maybe start by reminding myself not to feel too bad about celebrating over the last few days, because when I started this little journey I weighed 155 lbs. and this morning I am happy to say the scale stopped at 148 lbs. so, yay me!
Tonight I decided to have Salmon in Lemongrass broth (I would say the calorie count is around 300):
This recipe is for 2 servings....
Ingredients
• 2 oz. pad Thai or fettuccine noodles
• 2 T minced fresh gingerroot
• ½ stalk lemongrass,* outer leaves removed, core thinly sliced
• ¾ jalapeño peppers, stemmed and seeded
• 1 ½ T fish sauce* or low-sodium soy sauce
• 8 fresh mushrooms, stemmed, each cap quartered
• 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal
• 1 large carrots, trimmed, peeled, and thinly sliced
• 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
• ½ t canola oil
• ½ cup Cilantro leaves, for garnish
This soup is so delicious and FRESH, and it takes less than 30 minutes to make. Love it!
