Last night I decided to make Stuffed Green Capsicums:
Ingredients:
Green Capsicum
Mince (heart-smart)
Onion
Tomato
Mayonnaise
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.
Saute onion in pan. Add tomato and cook for 1 minute. Add mince and season to taste. Cut top off green capsicum and place on oven tray. Stuff green capsicum with cooked mince mixture.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve immediately (top with mayonnaise if desired).
Tonight I had omelet with tomato, onion and capsicum (but I forgot to take a photo)! Going to have to remember every time I make something from now on to take a photo!Well this week has had its ups and downs - today I'm feeling great as far as the diet goes but the last couple of days I have been feeling so down and depressed and constantly craving different food (maybe I keep smelling what Ryan is cooking lol). I think at the moment I'm just feeling off all my food - nothing appeals to me and I'm trying to come up with different ways to cook things. I'm going to have to experiment a bit I think! I went to Target today and tried on a dress (size 14) and it fit perfectly - such an awesome feeling to be able to go to the shop and try on something and it actually fits. I didn't end up buying it - lol - just couldn't justify it - oh well in a couple months time I'll be able to buy heaps of dresses. When I'm down to my goal weight I want to buy a little black dress - something I've always wanted to do - and then go out for dinner somewhere or maybe to Burswood to the Casino - who knows - somewhere exciting!
Hmmmm last week Saturday I lost my beautiful 18 Carot Gold Diamond Ring - boohoo - very upset - but my own fault - I've know for a while my fingers were getting smaller but I kept my rings on - and for some reason on Saturday I didn't feel it slip off my finger. Well I learnt my lesson good and now I'm not wearing any of my rings - they are hidden somewhere until I've lost all my weight and can get them resized. I keep hoping that maybe someone honest found my ring and handed it in - but so far no phone calls - oh well I'll keep on dreaming........
Ok everyone here are the long awaited photos of me (I'm dying of embarrassment right now I hope you all realise lol). These two photos were taken last year July and August. And the two new photos of me - the new me - were taken tonight. I haven't quite finished the diet (I have another 15kg's to loose) so when I'm at my goal weight I'll take some more photos. I've asked one of my friends at work (who is a amateur photographer) to take some nice photos of me and Ryan. So hopefully when we have a nice Saturday (without any rain) she will take some photos.

Ericaaaaaaaaaaa, no flippin' way. You look gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you have another 15 to go??? There will be nothing left of you. Your stick thin now. Man oh man oh man. I haven't seen you in so long, I'm not going to recognise you when I do see you. No wonder you lost that ring. I do hope you find it or it comes back to you. What a shame. But...perhaps someone will be nice and get you another wink * wink *.
That stuffed capsicum looks yummy. I'm going to try make them on the weekend. Please don't get bored with your food, it's doing you wonders, look at yourself. I can't believe it. I'm going to take another look at those pics now. I'm trying to enlarge them, but can't. It's very hard to see you when the pics are that small.
WOW Erica...lookin great!! even tho I see you quite a bit.. I looks like you have lots SOOOOOOOOOO much!!! ESP compared to that first photo!!! You look GREAT!
Wow Erica!! Congrats on the huge achievement, you look sooooooooooooooooooo good. And i'll stop posting pics of chocolate so you can get back on track eating the right foods!!!
Wow, Erica, you look good! That is just amazing! I'm sure I wouldn't recognise you either. All the best with the last bit of weight you plan to loose. I'm sure you can do it!!
You look just amazing Erica. You can be so proud of what you have achieved. I can see the little black dress coming up in no time. It certainly must be hard with the temptations of different food; but keep it up. Just wondering: can Ryan still be eating the same foods as you, or does the diet require that he goes back to different foot!!
That stuffed capsicum looks very yummy!!
TFS your wonderful progress and keep it up.
Wow Erica.....i am a gasping for a few breaths inbetween tears....you look awesome and truly have lost heaps since you had a 'glass of water some months ago. you then looked great, but now just gorgeous. Oh so proud of you, you must and may be.....Keep it up and you know your goals and you know and I know you will not stop to reach them....go Erica and TSMFS.
Can't wait to see you in that little black dress!
Hello Erica,
You look great, it must feel very good for you just looking to that before photo's and the two of you now!
Keep on goiing and you may also eat more.
Love aunt Douwien
Thanks everyone for your nice encouraging comments. It makes me even more determined to get down to my goal weight. Hey Chantelle - answer to your question - Ryan still eats a lot of the same food as me but he is slowly being introduced to different food as well - like different fruit and vegetables (ie bananas, potatoes, carrots, pears, pineapple etc) and pasta, rice and bread and also different meats like lamb - all food that we weren't allowed to eat on the diet - so far he has lost even more weight and is now maintaining his weight - even though he had a vanilla slice and chocolate yesterday. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! xx
