It's been a week since I saw the doctor, and a week when I began eating a low carb, more healthy diet, taking vitamins, and trying to get more exercise. I succeeded in the exercise, that is for sure... Saturday night I got very little sleep because every time I moved, my muscles and joints screamed from being over used after so little use for a long time.
My exercise consisted of Spring Cleaning... I scrubbed high and low, walls scrubbed to prep for painting, scrubbing tubs, floors, surfaces, carrying stuff up and down stairs... my friend that was helping with the painting asked what I had taken because she had not seen me move so much in at least 5 years... I hadn't taken anything... I felt good, I wanted the house to be decluttered and clean... but Oh My Gosh, the pain, the agony... thank GOD that's passed today...
Eggplant...
Peeled/Sliced Eggplant
Container of Feta Crumbles
1 bag of shredded Mozzarella/Parmesan/Italian Mix Cheese
1 Onion and 1 Bell Pepper- sliced and diced
1 T. Minced Garlic
1 Can of Crushed Tomatoes
Seasoning (Italian) to your taste/Salt/Pepper
I sauteed the onions and peppers, then took a casserole dish, spread out 1/2 the layers of eggplant, topped it with the onions/pepper and 1/2 the can of tomatoes, the garlic, and then evenly spread out the feta, topped it with the rest of the eggplant, remaining tomatoes, seasoning, salt/pepper, and topped with the shredded cheese (I only used 1/2 the bag)... I baked it for 2 hours covered at 375 degrees in the oven... served it with brown rice and quinoa mix...
My son said it was fabulous ...
For breakfast every morning this weekend, I made a three egg omelet with a slice of cheese, and cut it in half and shared with my son - served the omelet on a piece of Whole Grain Nutty Bread Toast...
This morning I weighed in... I've lost 5 lbs. this week...
