Fruit Salad

I don't know about you, but I am starving after this lunch, so usually I eat lunch substitute with cottage cheese and some almonds.
This time I had a lot of fresh fruits at home and I made two nice fruit cups, one for me and one for my boyfriend.

Nothing fancy. Just cut a honeydew melon in half, scoop it out with a melon scooper or a teaspoon and mix all your fruits in a bowl, put them back into the two melon halves and you have 2 great fruit salads.
I used, honeydew melon, clementines, grapes, orange and some raspberries.

Scarsdale Diet Salad Dressing

I tried some dressing recipes from the Scarsdale Diet book but I just didn't like them. Here is my take on no oil dressing. Give it a try, add your own seasoning and drizzle it on your salad. I like this one.

This will make 1 cup of dressing. I use about 1 tablespoon dressing on my salad. Keep it in a jar in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup roasted garlic balsamic condiment
1/2 cup water
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt
black pepper
oregano
chopped parsley (optional)

Directions:
Put all ingredients in a jar, cover with a lid and shake well.
Taste and adjust seasoning.

Note:
Make your own dressing using your favorite seasoning like salad seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, or add chopped parsley leaves or fresh dill.

My weight loss journal

Back on the diet again.

First time I tried it I was a little skeptical about this but then again, what do I have to lose? Oh yeah, a LOT of extra weight. I lost about 20 pounds this year. I need to loose another 15-20 pounds so decided to do it again. The problem is that I love to cook and bake and I love to eat J you can check out my other blog if you don’t believe me www.recipewithpictures.blogspot.com

I will do 2 weeks of SMD and than 2 weeks of KT.

I will write about my weight loss and about the meals I will prepare.

It's not easy..., but this is a commitment I've made and I won't give up.

Here is a progress chart if you need it, just print it and stick it on your refrigerator door.

It's not all about weight loss for me. I want to feel good and look good.

I will follow the diet plan, hopefully J

I know I am not strong enough and I will eat chocolate. Somehow I can’t control it, I dream about chocolate, it drives me crazy.

Usually I take a bag of baby carrots to work, just in case I start to feel hungry. When I first started this diet I was hungry throughout the day. The first week is cruel, after that you get used to it.

For me, it’s a celebration every time I sit down at the dinner table, this is why I plan my meals ahead and I try to prepare something special, even if we are on diet. Yes, I wrote “we”, because my boyfriend is going to do it with me.  Am I lucky or what? I know, it’s going to be fun, we will loose weight together and we will motivate each other.

Wish us good luck!
