Quick Stir Fry

I am always looking for new and quick lunch ideas. Well we eat out every single Thursday due to Melody’s standing food therapy appointment. I get really tired of eating out at the same place every week. Especially since they have such a limited menu. So one week I only got their grilled chicken tenders, then I came home and whipped up a quick and delicious stir fry. I bought some frozen chicken too to have on hand to use when we don’t eat out.

Pizza Bowls

I found this recipe on the Home Chef website. I modified it some to fit better within Noom and to lower the carb count for Brad. It turned out delicious, and it is definitely a recipe we will make again. What is nice is you can adjust all the ingredients to toppings you prefer and customize it for whoever you are making it for!

My Noom Journey (25 pounds lighter)

I joined Noom back in mid-October. I basically was at a point that I really felt like I needed to do something about my health. I did lose around 30 pounds back in 2019. I counted calories and exercised. But the moment stress hit (we listed our house, we sold our house, moved, life), I gained it all back. I gained about 15 of it pretty quickly, then the other 15 over a year or so. COVID baking and take out did not help either. I had heard about Noom from many sources, and I finally decided to give it a go. I knew it was similar to counting calories, but I heard the articles could be habit changing. This is key to help me maintain the weight loss after I succeed. I received an email with an 80% discount, and I decided to just do it. I signed up for a year upfront. I did get a 2 week trial for free, however. I will try and do a post all about their app later. But you can find my experience so far below! I also created an instagram specific to my weight loss if you want to follow along. I am hoping it will help with my accountability as well. It is @livingmore_weighingless.

Honey Ginger Salmon

This salmon has become a favorite of mine. It is so quick and easy, I have found myself making it for lunch and throwing it on top of a salad. I buy frozen salmon and just thaw it when I need it. It is also a great recipe in terms of Noom.

Bellpepper Egg Salad Boats

I love egg salad, but I have never found a great recipe to make my own. I have tried, but it is either too dry or too much mayonnaise. I also don’t care for egg salad on bread. I mean it is ok, but I really like it on salad. I get it often from Chicken Salad Chick. I saw this egg salad recipe on Instagram, and the user also used bell peppers instead of bread or salad. I decided to give it a try. It has become new item added to my weekly lunch rotations. It is super quick to make (and prep), and it is really healthy.

Homemade Tortilla Chips

When I first started Noom, I was trying to find an alternative to potato chips. I love them. They were a go to snack for me. Since I have been on Noom for about 5 weeks, my desire isn’t as strong for chips. However, I did find an alternative that is “green” on their scale. I now make my own tortilla chips. This is great since salsa too is green. Everyone that tries them love them too. Even if you are not doing Noom, they are a great alternative to traditional tortilla chips.
