So about that... today was weigh in day. I lost a pound even. I'm happy for the loss but of course would have liked to see more. But I wont linger on my one pound, I'm just excited to see what the scale will show next week. This weeks meeting was all about the weekly points. Once again my leader says to eat them. To use them in a way that makes you happy, for that meal out, that special dessert, alcohol or however you want. They aren't extra points, or bonus points,they are your points to eat. I don't know how I feel about this yet. He did however mention something that had obvious truth to it, he said that it has been proven that when you consume the same foods or even the same calories that your body goes into stalemate mode. It neither gains nor loses, but when you jolt it by changing your calorie consumption that you keep your metabolism working all the time. Food for thought, I suppose. No pun intended.
Last night I tried two new things. One was roasted cinnamon chickpeas. They are pretty darn good, all I did was toss them in 1T honey and 1/2T cinnamon, baked them in the oven for about 30 minutes tossing every 10 minutes, take out and sprinkle lightly with about 1tsp sugar. These are vegan as well.
The other thing was so good that I inhaled it before I could even get a picture taken. I can not eat fresh bananas, but have had luck eating cooked bananas. So I tried it last night, I sliced a banana lengthwise and drizzled 1tsp honey on it and lightly sprinkled cinnamon and ginger on it. I wrapped it in aluminum foil and baked it for about 20 minutes on 350. I topped it with 2T homemade vanilla. Awesome. Totally Awesome. With sweet treats like this I can not understand why anyone would ever want to eat one of the 100 calorie packs of mystery food.
