love 'em veggies

I've been really sad lately. And it's all because I've decided to abstain from rice. Two weeks (and counting) of no rice. Can you imagine--me not eating rice! Sacrilege! And the depressing part here, I didn't even lose a single pound. Well, at least, not yet. Maybe it's because I don't even exercise hehe.

I played badminton last night with hubby, and I only lasted for ten minutes because my chest hurts already. Damn those cigarette sticks.

Last week, I tried this Fat-Burning Soup diet. It's supposed to be for seven days. More info about it next time when I get to say that it's really effective. Because the thing is, I only came up to Day 3 and I couldn't tahan it anymore! I'll probably try doing it again next month. No rice it is for now.

So now, I stick to veggies and fish and chicken. It's so hard to lose weight if your husband is trying to gain weight. Hay.

This one's my fave salad for now. I used to go gaga over Flinder's salad, but I'm over it now 'cus eating it everyday is just so boring.

My sister in law made this veg salad before and I really liked it. It's just sitaw, sigarillas (i think), vinegar (or vinegrette), pepper, tomatoes, some quail eggs and dried basil. So I eat this always and I just tweaked it a bit by adding atchara.

I don't know about you, but I love my veggies so I totally like this salad.

macaroons!

Because of a friend's text last week about macaroons, I started craving for this coconut dessert once again.

Today, after being bored from staying home all day because I wasn't feeling well, I finally decided to make some. I followed pinoycook's recipe which is, as always, super easy to follow.

I bought a local brand of dessicated coconut for less than $2. I had the rest of the ingredients in my pantry--eggs, butter, condensed milk.

Oops, I think I made too many. I can't finish all these by myself so I gave some to Jun so he can munch on it while at work (he's on night shift today), then I'll bring some when I come back to work tomorrow.

Guess what I'm craving for now? Dinuguan! OMG I am so PG!
