So as retarded as this sounds, I have read so many diet and nutrition books in my short life. Why? Am I a crash dieter?? No ma'am. I just find that kind of stuff very facinating. Some people read mystery novels, some people read trashy love novels, not me.... I read diet books. You name it, I've probably read it, Dr. Phil's weight loss plan, Body for Life, Bob Greene, that one guy with the gray beard, etc, etc. I bring this up because the one that wins five stars from me is this gem...
When I lost my first baby I found myself 15 lbs over my original weight and with no baby to show for it. That was pretty depressing. This is the book I found that resonated the best with me. I love his theory on exercise, and I love his recipes. Basically he says to eat 6 small meals a day, and to do cardio 3 days a week and lift weights 3 days a week. It wasn't long before I lost that weight and was feeling good again.
So I've dusted off the old book (I believe I found this one in the freebie bin at TVA) and have started to read over it again. And I am remembering why I love it so much. I made the Asian Beef Stir Fry for Trent the other night and he loved it! If he knew where the recipe was from he probably would have hated it, but he told me that I could make that any time I wanted, it was that good. I'm hoping that I have good luck with this book again this time around.
I hope you don't mind me talking about this whole weight loss venture. It's just in the front of my brain right now, so that's what I'm writing about.
