I am surrounded by what has been declared enemy number one - carbs. And even though I'm surrounded by friends whom have sworn off bread, I simply refuse. I am not physically or psychologically satisfied by a meal without some form of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates fuel my workouts. I've tried some modifications with increasing protein and decreasing carbs to the detriment of my performance so I'm standing firm- I won't give these up. With that in mind, I do focus on the healthier choices such as unsweetened fruits, whole grains, legumes/beans and unprocessed foods. It's become very important to me that my meals are beautifully presented to appeal to feeding my soul as much as appealing to my health goals.
This week -
Turkey Green Chili Stew with Beans and a side of Corn Tortillas (I use the Las Cruces brand which are thinner than some other brands)
Fish Tacos (baked shells) with tomatillo salsa, Spinach Salad
Baked Chicken, Homemade Mashed Potatoes, and Mushrooms with Gravy (the gravy is loaded with more mushrooms than gravy and makes a great way to top the potatoes)
Next Week
Carrot Ginger Soup topped with Spicy Scallops and a side of Spinach Salad with Fresh Berries
Spring Rolls with Salmon and a side salad of Carrot Cucumber Sesame Salad
I'm already looking forward to the beautiful plates ahead.
