Well, it's been about three weeks since I last managed to post any pictures. Had a lot going on schoolwise, healthwise, jobwise, marriagewise...actually it's been so "wise" around here that I'd really like to crawl under a rock! More on that in another post should my brain decide it wants to come back online...
Here are some pictures:
On the good side, the diet has continued to work. I hit 40 pounds gone this week (20 more to go). In the interest of trying new things, this is tonight's vegetable of choice:
I am attempting to roast (and eat!) Brussels sprouts. I have never had them before and seriously Googled "how do Brussels sprouts taste?". Who knows? Roasted Brussels sprouts could be my new best friend or they may be a disaster. Tune in and find out!
Something that I know *has* to taste worse than Brussels sprouts ever could:
Yuck! How may years has this stuff been around? And why has no one ever thought to make it taste any better?? I have something trying to gain a foothold and I can't afford to miss work or class so I have been downing this stuff along with a steroid shot from my doc and a Z-pak. All hail medicinal chemistry!!
Finally, I have new (smaller size!) sleep pants. The SU bought them. Think he was trying to make a commentary?
Update: Roasted Brussels sprouts are...actually pretty good!
hahaha, love me some Grumpy! ... i take nyquil gel caps now so i don't have to taste that nastyness...much better for me.
ReplyDeleteAdd some fried, crumbled bacon to those brussel sprouts, and mix in a tablespoon of maple syrup...it'll change your world, hahahah!
Congratulations on the weight loss, what an accomplishment. It truly is one of the hardest things to do.
ReplyDeleteI love Brussels sprouts. I have a recipe that calls for bacon and dried cranberries, but then I guess Brussels sprouts are good for until you add the bacon....
Good luck with the continued healthy eating...

I love brussel sprouts too, but my family doesn't. Little do they know I am trying a new recipe for thanksgiving that includes turnips...shhhhh..don't tell 'em!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious - we were just talking about brussels sprouts on facebook yesterday. My response was: little cabbages - blech! But you know, I don't think I've ever even TRIED a brussels sprout. Now that's just discriminatory behavior on my part - condemning an innocent vegetable based on its appearance.
ReplyDeleteI'm really proud of your hard work. I have NOT been working very hard. Sigh.
brussel sprouts, yum! How did you like them?
