Weight update #1

I know some of you were waiting for, so here you go. 

I lost 1.5 lb BUT I think most of it has to do with the fact that I was sick with a stomach bug and unable to eat for 2 days straight. That's not the way I intend to loose weight! Still, any loss is good, now I have to be strong and don't fall into the trap or rewarding myself with food so to regain it and some. 

Speaking of food, I thought I'd share some recipes that I found on Pinterest that I tried and love. I hope you will too.

   

Baked Parmesan tomatoes

   

Baked veggies 

 

Baked zucchini

 

I love several things about these recipes: 

• They are simple and quick to make
• The ingredient don't usually cost and arm and a leg 
• They required baking which it means that I can throw them in the oven and do what I need to get done in the mean while 
• I can cook them in big batches which means that when I have that craving and urge for a greasy snack, I will have them handy 
• They are tasty 
• They don't contain too many calories

What's for dinner???

I'm having baked potatoes and nope, I'm not using my brand new stove for many hours in this heat.
How am I gonna bake potatoes without the oven you ask?? Well, I'm gonna use my microwave and.....THIS:
