Hiya Soulcast!
Update:
Well, FutureGoddess is still working to become a future goddess. I have been very busy - for anyone who read my "goal" plan that was posted when I first came here more than a year ago - it only took a year to BEGIN implementing my goals...LOL. However, no complaints here. Only good things. I have been working out, losing weight, job hunting and doing some odd jobs here and there. And catching up with a lot of old friends with whom I hadn't been in contact in years.
My New Obsessions:
Since the new year began I have been eating almost nothing but fresh veggies, fresh fruit, lean protein etc. So as a result of finally implementing this little change in my life, two things have happened: One - I have lost 10 (of the 45) pounds since January 1st, and two - I have been getting bored with the fruits and veggies which I was used to eating. So now, I am eating new veggies for my palate.
I know this is not an "unusual" veggie - but I am now totally obsessed with it! I had never had it before yesterday and someone suggested that I try this - What is it you ask?
Spaghetti Squash!!!
This is the coolest veggie I have ever made. I loved the experience for the first time of scraping out the "meat" of the vegetable and having it turn into spaghetti looking strands. I was like a little kid! It was SO COOL!!!
BTW - I am now seeking cool and unusal recipes for this veggie - so if there is a low fat, low cal recipe you love, please post below.
And my second obsession:
Zip Lock Steam and Fresh Bags!
Dinner tonight was so easy to make - fresh asparagus and frozen salmon steak (with a fat free lemon - dill sauce). And the entire meal took only 4 minutes to steam (to perfection I might add) in these funky little bags. Ya pop the ingrediants in a bag, ya nuke it for the amount of time listed RIGHT ON THE BAG, and you get this great meal!
Yeah, I know, I am easy to please. It's actually one of the best changes that has taken place for me in last year. In 2008, I just realized "it was all small stuff". No really, it's all small stuff. Even the big stuff - it's all just not worth getting worked up over anymore. I have begun looking at life like a 5 year old and I am having a good time. Which is actually one of the reasons why you haven't seen me here lately. Just been doing too much lately.
Well, I hope you are all having a grand new year. I have a job interview tomorrow which I am hoping will lead to an offer. Keep your fingers and toes crossed. And say a prayer or two for me.
