So I had a really great week of vacation. In total I earned 42 activity points. I did lots of classes at the gym, plus cario and weight training. I did some yoga, swimming and a 5 hour mountain hike on Friday with my DH and SIL. My eating was totally OP. I made healthy meals and did not eat out at all. So are you ready for the great WI results??? I GAINED 5 POUNDS!!! WTF!!!
.
I must be retaining some serious water, because there is no way I could have realy gained five pounds. So weird. Anyway, I know the hard work will catch up in the next week or so and I am going to stay on track. My body does this sometimes, and then one morning I will wake up 7 pounds lighter than when I went to sleep. Sigh, at this rate I will never get to onederland! I think after my WI on Wednesday I will do the Wendie Plan for a week. I think the triple activity this past week may have freaked my body out - I need to shake up my eating plan.

Ok, I have one recipe to share and this is one that I made up so we will call it Zucchini ala Blendergirl. It was so delicious that I made it two nights in a row, and my weekend dinner guests loved it.
Take 2 zucchinis and slice down the middle. I scooped out the insides with a melon baller. Put the hollowed out zucs in a pan and roast in a 350 oven for about 10 minutes (while you prepare the filling).
Filling:
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
1 cup finely diced crimini mushrooms
zucchini flesh finely chopped
1 clove minced garlic
sautee all of this in a pan with a little olive oil until cooked and most of the liquid is gone. Remove from heat and mix in 1/2 cup grated light cheese, one beaten egg, salt and pepper. Fill the zucchinis with the mixture (will be very gooey - but firms up when cooked).
Topping:
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan (powder)
1-2 tbsp melted butter
Mix together and spread evenly on stuffed zucchini. I covered in foil and continued cooking for 15 minutes. Remove foil and cook 5 min (until topping is brown). Enjoy!!!

WTF?? That sucks. Your body will catch up with your hard work. Give it time!
I love the recipe. I have zuchini right now waiting to be cooked I was looking all over for some tried and true zuch recipe. Thanks!
Congrats on your amazing week! Ignore the scale. Sometimes it acts crazy. Must be all those muscles you are building. :)
Your recipe sounds delish. Must try!
Do you eat your AP's? I was told by 2 different leaders if your hungry eat some but most people at the meetings ( who are now lifetimers) said as they were in weight loss mode they did not eat AP's but now use some in their maintenance mode. Just curious. I eat all of my daily adn weeklies but no AP's although Im not a super big cardio person to earn a whopping 40 something like you! lol
Maybe ask your leader about this? Seems like you would have seen a loss after all of that exercise.
Keep up the good work!!! :)
I leaned forward to get a better look at my screen, looking for the period in front of the 5, you know, thinking that must be 1/2 a pound, not 5 lbs!
Yeah, a crazy gain like that has got to be fluid retention. It will come right off.
Sometimes our bodies just plain stink.
Your recipe looks so goooooood! I'm gonna save that one :)
