My exciting Monday... and a recipe!

4:30 wake
5:30 whey + waxy maize, TT30DMFL w/oA and HIIT
7:00 white tea, g beef, ½ pepper, zucchini
9:30 egg, carrots
12:00 big salad, chicken breast, flaxseed dressing
3:00 ostrim and no veg @#$#@!
6:00 bay scallops, swiss chard
8:00 cottage & metabolic drive

I feel ok about how I look. Definitely look better than a year ago, but still squishy and fleshy when undressed *sighs*. If someone had told me 3 years ago it would come to this I wouldn’t have believed it. I never understood how you could get 30lb overweight. Oh well, all the trauma hasn’t been in vain because I did end up learning a LOT about nutrition and exercise so ultimately I’ll be healthier than if I never got sick and fat.

Got really tired this afternoon and ended up taking a nap instead of going to TKD, I think I didn’t get enough cals at lunch because I was hungry later on. I also ended up staying in the lab later than expected so I was unprepared and had to eat an Ostrim I had in my desk (no veg). So: bigger PM snack to keep energy levels up.

I have a new recipe for y’all, very tasty, healthy, and EASY:

Scallops and Swiss Chard
1 bunch swiss chard
4 oz bay scallops (the little ones)
Butter (yes!)
1 garlic clove
1/2c white wine or broth
Wash chard, cut the leafy parts from the stem and tear into pieces. Chop stems into 1” chunks. Melt butter, sautee scallops and garlic until scallops are nicely browned. Turn down heat to medium so the garlic doesn’t burn, add chard and stir it all until it starts to wilt. Cover and steam about one minute until chard is soft and stems are tender. Remove scallops and chard to serving dish, deglaze pan with wine or broth. When it’s reduced by about half, pour over scallops and chard. Yum!
