So I did 25+ squats everyday this week (and will do them tomorrow as well!) My kitchen has not been opened past 7pm all week, and I've had at least 45 minutes of cardio each day, except for Saturday!

I wanted to let you know that I'm going to be gone from tomorrow until next Wednesday on vacation at DisneyWorld. I won't have access to the message boards to post anything, but I will have my iPhone to still log in and do my food/exercise diary. But, I wanted to let you know that I will be doing the cardio and strength challenges daily. I talked to my DH this morning and he's even going to do them with me...which I'm sure the people in the hotel room below us will LOVE, lol!

I'll have to see about the sleep challenge and let you know on Thursday morning, as well as my weigh in since we don't get home until Wednesday night.

I'll do the emotional and recipe challenges now. As for the recipes that everyone submits, since I can't vote, just count me with the majority

Emotional Challenge(7/27-8/3):
How do you handle the struggles of being the weight you are in your family?

In my extended family (my Dad & sister), I feel HUGE. My dad is 6 ft (I'm only 4 ft. 11 inches) and has weighed less than me for at least 8 years (until now!) and my sister is taller than me (like 5 ft. 3 or so) and weighs 125 lbs. They have never said anything to me about my weight or anything, but just visiting them (they live 11 hours away), I've always felt like such a cow next to them.

As for with my immediate family (DH and 2 sons), I've never felt strange, but that's because my kids have only ever known me as fat. I did feel bad, though, because I was ALWAYS tired and never had any energy to do anything. Plus, I was always complaining about my back hurting (from carrying around all the extra weight).

Here's my recipe for the challenge.

Recipe name: Tuna Noodle Casserole

Number of servings: 6

Ingredients Calories Fat Sodium Carbs Protein
Aldi Northern Catch - Chunk Light Tuna (Corrected 6/7/11), 10 oz. 250 3 900 0 65
Reggano - Enriched Wide Egg Noodles, 1 container (6 cups ea.) 1,320 18 90 240 48
Food Lion - Whole Kernel Corn No Salt Added, 1 container (1 4/5 cups ea.) 210 5 35 32 7
Campbell's - Condensed Soup - Cream of Chicken, 2 container (1 3/10 cups ea.) 600 40 4,350 50 10

Total: 2380 66 5375 322 130
Per Serving: 397 11 896 54 22



I got most of my ingredients from Aldi.

1 bag of Reggano Egg Noodles
2 cans of tuna in water
2 cans of cream of chicken (can also use mushroom or celery)
1 can of sweet corn
~1/2 half can of peas
~4 tbsp of Chef's Cupboard fried onions (the fried onions you'd put in green bean casserole)
~1/4 tsp of black pepper

I boil the noodles first. While I'm boiling that, I mix all the other ingredients in a glass 13x9 baking dish. After the noodles are done and drained..mix everything together. Cover with foil and put it into the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

~The 3 final ingredients were in the recipe I received, but since we don't like those at my house, I omitted them. You can obviously use them, your calorie/ingredient count would just be different. Also you can make this with less sodium/fat, but using different soups. I just used the ones that I had in my pantry (which happened to be the full fatty ones, LOL)

I'm gonna get a jump start on my week 2 challenges so I don't forget to do them!

Week 2 Challenges:

Recipe Challenge : This was hard for me, because I am a veeeerrry picky eater and I do not eat foods mixed together. So I just posted what I usually make for myself for dinner on a nice summer night.

Lemon Rosemary Salmon

Crush a couple cloves of garlic and coarsely chop. Sprinkle down on a sheet of aluminum foil. Lay piece of salmon over top (remember to debone salmon). Sprinkle with a dash of Mrs. Dash’s Table Blend, and some rosemary. Then lay a couple lemon circles over top. Close up the foil. Bake for 15 minutes at 350*F

Coho:
Cals: 170
Sodium 50 mg
Total Fat: 5g
Carbs: 0
Protein: 25 g
Cholesterol: 62 mg


Lemon Grilled Asparagus

In a pan combine 2 tbsp. olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon. Roll asparagus in the mixture, shaking off any extra. (if grilling, lay asparagus on grill for 5-6 minutes until tender) or place under broiler for about 10 minutes. Remove and roll in the leftover olive oil/lemon mixture.

Asparagus:
Cals: 13
Sodium: 8mg
Total Fat: 0g
Carbs: 2g
Fiber: 1g
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 1g

Olive Oil:
Cals: 180
Total Fat: 22g

(This recipe is for 1 4oz. piece of Coho, and 4 spears of asparagus)



Emotional Challenge :

My family has never been "skinny" nor have they been "fat", so I never really noticed my weight all that much, that is until my sister lost a bunch of weight! Then I started feeling like the fat sister (even though in comparison, I always was. Just never felt like it until that point). I still feel like the fat sister, and I can't wait for the moment, we go out together and I don't feel that way!

Also, my hubby is very tiny (about 5'5 and 125 lbs.) so I always feel like a cow next to him. I know that I will probably never be as skinny as him, but I do want to feel like feminine and dainty, ya know? When we first started dating (I was probably only a few pounds heavier than I am now) he had a friend tell him that I was "too fat" for him. That's always been in the back of my mind - does everyone who sees us together think that?!




PS: Amy, have a great trip!!!

ninasparx
