September 5: A few hours ago, anxious as heck, I sat in the parking lot at my local gym, waiting. On a whim I signed up for a membership last week with some friends and tonight was my first time visiting said gym. We were taking a 30 minute #HIIT class and while I was excited to try it, I was crippled with fear and anxiety. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been. My belly gets in the way of everything. I’m not bendy in any way. Like at all! And, I have hip issues. I hate being watched. My anxiety made me get to the gym 40 minutes early. Scared I’d be late. Scared to show up after the class started. Everyone looking at me. So I sat in the car waiting. Fretting. Beating myself up for letting myself “go” all these years. If I had stayed in shape, I wouldn’t be scared I’d throw up in front of everyone. I fretted until the very last minute before the class started. But knowing I had a friend waiting and counting on me made me move my butt out of that car. Inside the gym, I swipe my pass and I can
I've been trying to meal plan and cook a few easy grab and go meals each week so I have a healthy option for my busy meeting days.
Recently, I tried a sheet-pan frittata recipe from the WW website in the hopes the kids would also like it and would eat it as a hearty breakfast option before school. Paired with a slice of gluten-free toast for me and a side salad, this made a healthy and super filling lunch for only a few points (about 5 points by the time I added olive oil to my salad, and the slice of toast).
Bonus: my husband loved it too and one night when we were too lazy to cook, this frittata came in real handy! While he opted to heat it up before eating it, I just ate it cold. I was too hungry to wait for the microwave and I have a weird hang up about reheated eggs.
I said what I said. lol
When I make this recipe again I'll probably just use regular zucchini instead of green and yellow, and will hold off on the cheddar cheese. I know, you're probably horrified that I'd leave out the best part of the recipe. Cheese is life. And I don't disagree.
Here's the thing. I technically can't have dairy. And as much as I swirled the shredded cheese around the pan, some pieces of frittata had way too much cheese in it for me. I'd rather leave it out completely, and maybe sprinkle some goat's milk Feta on afterwards.
Check out the finished product below, and let me know if you end up trying it for yourself!
