So it has come to my attention that none of my clothes fit me properly anymore. I can't even zip up some of the pants. I must confess that I have been shoving stuff into my mouth without really thinking about the consequences. As a fashion conscious girl, this is unacceptable. Not the shoving food part, but the part that 80% of my wardrobe is now useless to me. So I've decided to do something about it. Simple. Go back to where I was before to look great and feel great.
I know dieting blows. But I am trying not to think of this as a diet. I'm trying to think of this as... becoming more health-conscious. I need to really understand what I put into my body and how it affects me overall. It has been a week since I've been loading myself with healthy protein (lean fish & poultry) and greens. Anyway, more about that in the subsequent posts. But I have to say, I'm still enjoying the cooking process even when I'm trying to drop the lbs.
Here's a good example. This is supposed to be a "sesame tilapia". But since I didn't have any sesame seeds, I've decided to just use my Asian common sense and throw something together. And it was quite delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 tbs sesame oil
- 2 tbs low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbs rice vinegar
- 2 scallions
- 2 fillets of tilapia
Direction
Mix all the ingredients together and broil in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
