This week we tried a few new things in our diet including the TVP, and a recipe for quinoa stuffed peppers. If you have never heard of quinoa (pronounced keen-wah), you aren't alone. It isn't a new food though, rather it has been around for thousands of years and was the primary staple for the Incas in South America. It is high in protein and fiber and can be substituted for rice in many recipes. We hit our goal of diversifying our meals with only one big meat meal, our pot roast on the snow day, all the rest were either veggie or had small amounts of meat.
As far as exercise, I actually made it to the gym twice, and Jason's sneakers met the gym floor again today after a bit of a break. He continues to slowly drop a pound or two every week or so, and I'm in my healthy zone.
Personally, I forced myself to get outside to soak up some much need sunshine on the days the weather cooperated. Walking the kids to the bus, or chopping the ice off the front walk for a few minutes truly made a difference for me. I also finished a book, a small accomplishment as I rarely take the time to sit and have quiet time. Here's to another healthy week. Hope we don't throw it all out the window tomorrow enjoying our Super Bowl treats!
