Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned. Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away. We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively. When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...
Thanks so much for making this for me. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really tasty. A panini press is one this I really want, but I just don't have a place for it in between uses.
ReplyDeleteThat panini looks delicious. I have often thought I need a panini press. I have a quesadilla maker, do you think that would work? I realize it wouldn't put the cool grill marks on it, but it should flatten the sandwich nicely. I used that quesadilla maker once just after I got it a couple years ago, then put it away and haven't had it out since.
ReplyDeleteMr- You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother Layer- You can get a press that doubles as a table top grill/griddle so that it's multi-functional. I also grill chicken and such on it!
Dupster- I'm pretty sure a quesadilla press would work as well. It's more to get the crispy schtuff on the bread, ya know? Of course you could easily morph it into a quesadilla if the bread thing doesn't work out! YUM!
This recipe looks great. Glad you are on the mend from being sick!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that looks delicious! :D Feel free to make one for me too!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the marinara on this sammie! Sodium was so not on my radar until I was helping a friend meal plan to keep hers under 1000 per day (very hard!).
ReplyDeleteI input my food for the day: sauerkraut, deli ham, pickles, all told I had 6000 mg in one day!
Now I just drink lots of water. :D
Yummmmmmmmmy!
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, I think I have seen those mutli-purpose ones. My old George Foreman grill has certainly seen better days, maybe it's time for an upgrade.
ReplyDeleteI use a George Foreman for our Panini Sammies :) That looks so good. I really should make this for my hubby he loves sausage and peppers!
