Happy (almost Friday) Shape Shifters!
As some of you know, I hate cooking! However, I love eating, and when you don't cook, it's very easy to make poor choices. Fortunately, I married a man who LOVES to cook! Here is one of my favorite dishes: fish with tomatoes, white wine sauce, and thyme (and you can easily substitute chicken for fish and stock for the white wine):
Ingredients:
Extra Virgin olive oil1 lb any white fish (flounder/halibut/cod), 14 ozs. grape tomatoes, cut in half, 6 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 cup dry white wine one lemon juiced, 8-10 sprigs of fresh thyme.
=======================
Instructions:
Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat up saute pan to medium heat. Add olive oil and sear fish on all sides/remove from pan. In the same pan, saute the garlic until fragrant. Do not brown or burn. Add tomatoes. Sautee for several minutes until juices flow, but not until tomatoes fall apart. Add white wine. Cook until reduced by 1/3 and alcohol is cooked off. Add lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and taste until satisfied. Add thyme sprigs and sautee a few minutes. Return fish to pan and sautee until cooked through. Remove thyme sprigs, plate and serve.I hope you love it as much as I do!

Happy with this loss. I've been trying to stay on track, though there have been a few slip ups and a couple of small binges. But I'm making progress. I'm hopeful that I'm actually moving in the right direction and this isn't just part of the bouncing around I've been doing for so long.5 -

@nancyinmiami - Thank you for sharing your recipe! I made it with chicken tonight and really enjoyed it. My son said it was delicious, too! It was simple to make and my macros ended up so nicely balanced today — 50% carbohydrates, 21% protein and 28% fat.
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend!2 -
@PatriceFitnessPal oh I’m so happy you both liked it! It’s one of my faves!

Today, I was reviewing my MFP data and reflecting on the week. My macros were close to my targets but, as usual, my protein was low and my fat intake was high:
- 52% carbohydrates
- 32% fat
- 16% protein
I’m going to try adding a lower fat, protein-rich snack this week. I have been snacking on mixed nuts with dark chocolate chips a lot this week. So, this week, I’ll substitute the 1/4 cup of mixed nuts and chocolate with low-fat Greek yogurt and sprinkle a smaller amount of nuts on top.
Is anybody else making adjustments as we start a new week tomorrow?

I'm trying to actively work on my protein levels…a few weeks ago when I did that group challenge on monitoring your daily proteins and trying to hit your daily goals, I noticed that I feel fuller long, snack less and just like that way it gives me more energy. Can't say I do it every day, but usually hit my 112 gram protein goal at least three times a week now.

omg! here I go again! I know that my weigh gain has to do with my enlarged heart and swollen left leg. It's depressing when those numbers go up like that.
