Carolyn's Week 4

It is often hard to see progress, especially when your workout partner is a man. Brad has noticeably lost 15 pounds, while my 8 pounds has not been quite as noticeable. However, I did notice progress (finally!) this Sunday. After a lot of carbs in Saturday night's dinner, we decided to workout on Sunday. Instead of doing a Boot Camp DVD, I decided to do 20 minutes of a Pilates DVD. I made it through the whole workout without struggling - I am sore today but I was able to every single move. I'm getting stronger! Sometimes, even small progress is worth it. The Boot Camp DVD's are working, while I am still not besties with Doug, the trainer, just yet I am willing to admit he knows his stuff.

Food for the Week:

Monday:
We needed to go grocery shopping so I pulled out some canned chicken, mixed it with spices and made a wrap. I used tomato, cucumbers, spinach, hummus, and avocado on whole wheat wraps. The hummus and avocado are creamy enough where I did not need mayo. We then promptly went out and bought food.

This curry was delicious! I was a little more liberal in my measuring of the curry and I also added a little turmeric.We also had left overs for lunch the next day, it reheated nicely.  

Thursday

California is not known for needing comfort like food, but Thursday it was rainy cool. This lentil soup was nice and comforting. Lentils are a great source of fiber and other vitamins.

I made this again, but used ground beef instead of ground turkey. I think I like it with the turkey better, the meatballs were not as dry.
