its true, my friend's 'no-longer-chubby- friend' is really slim now. i saw her most recent pics [taken just this past weekend] and she really is as thin as a non-chubby person is. lol, i need to improve my adjectives.
i guess next week's plan of attack is more raw veggies at night paired with healthy protein and probably some fruit. actually, this ex-chubby girl is also my firend but because i have not asked her permission yet, i will not name her. i'm so tempted to place before and after pics of her just to inspire me more. and you who are in the same boat as i am. =D
i'm planning to stock up on cucumber salad. i love it and i can eat a big bowl for dinner and eat while playing yoville on FB. lol! and it's such a cinch to make:
slice up some cucumbers, horizontally, so you end up with 'cucumber coins'. i prefer to use the long, thin japanese variety cause i don't like to remove the skin and their deep green color just looks way better than the pale native ones [i bet they're healthier too]. i sprinkle some salt on it, mix it up a bit, and let the cucumber water drain off for about 15 minutes or so. then i add vinegar, i prefer sukang-puti, barely a teaspoon of sugar[optional] and freshly ground black pepper. let it sit covered in the ref for about thirty minutes. it's yummier when it's cold and crunchy. enjoy it with porkchops, fried chicken or even your ordinary galunggong. you'll be smacking your lips for sure.
p.s. i also add a bit of sesame oil before serving it. i love the aroma!
