Day 3

Today was a great day! I ate really well, did some house work for exercise and am currently 226 calories under my daily count. Hooray! I'm having small doubts about my diet because I have not been feeling hungry or deprived like I usually do when I start a new eating regime. I hope this is because I'm focusing on protein and vegetables instead of filling my stomach with empty carbs.

I made an amazing supper tonight as well, I am having such a good time cooking delicious meals. I have always enjoyed cooking but felt I never had time for it so this amount of cooking is very new for me. I'm posting the recipe below, I substituted green onion for shallots because I prefer the taste. Also I used truffle oil instead of canola oil because I was feeling fancy.
 
Teriyaki Salmon with Zucchini  
 
Ingredients:  
Low-sodium teriyaki sauce (I used a blood orange ginger teriyaki)  
2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets  
Sesame seeds  
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced  
4 scallions, chopped  
Canola oil  
 
Directions:  
 
Combine 5 tablespoons teriyaki sauce and fish in a zip-top plastic bag.  
Seal and marinate 20 minutes.  
Toast sesame seeds in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and set aside.  
Drain fish, discarding marinade.  
Add fish to skillet, and cook 5 minutes.  
 Turn and cook for 5 more minutes over medium-low heat.  
 Remove from skillet, and keep warm.  
Add the zucchini, scallions, and 2 teaspoons oil to skillet.  
Sauté 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.  
Stir in 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce.  
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with salmon.

So far so good with eating and activity, I'm feeling really good physically and mentally so that is obviously helping. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings :)
