Our Keto Journey - Day 25

Day 25 – 

Today was just a relaxing day because sometimes you just need that. I actually managed to sleep in because Peter got up with the dogs. We are still dog-sitting and the sweet little visiting dog has a tendency to get up extremely early (before 6:00am) so I have been getting up early almost every day. Sleep is actually very important for healthy weight.  There are numerous studies that have shown a lack of sleep is connected to weight gain. 

I had my coffee and spent some time on my computer.  I had some pecans for a midmorning snack. 

I made myself a big salad for lunch, with lettuce, one piece of crumbled bacon and some feta cheese. It was yummy.

Later I did some house cleaning and Peter went shopping. Look at all this amazing produce. I was so excited when he brought all this home. 

In the afternoon we went swimming and Peter noticed my ankle was swollen, so at his insistence I put some ice on it. I think the walk to and from the Y might have been a bit too much for my ankle. I took today off from my workout and tomorrow I will only do the bicycle and some weights to help give my ankle some recovery time. 

For dinner we decided to try one of the new recipes out, we made our own version of Chicken Fried rice. I really wish we could have our own reality show it would be hilarious. We were making such a big mess and yelling at each other and then laughing so hard. I of course, did not follow the recipe, but I have to say it came out so good. 

We started by cutting up the chicken into small pieces and browning them. Peter wanted to use the griddle. We chopped up a whole bunch of great veggies to add to our dish. After the chicken was done we put on the broccoli, some green onions and some fresh green beans I had cut up, next we added two beaten eggs and finally we added the cauliflower rice and some bean sprouts. We used sesame oil and just some onion powder, salt and pepper. It was amazing. I would definitely make this again. 

Peter and I are having fun cooking together so I am looking forward to trying more recipes.
