Fitness Vlog Nov 4th

Yeah definitely packing on those holiday lbs, but the difference 2019 from 2018 is i am way more active and motivated now. I also take supplements that help with healthy metabolism and try to watch my diet more closely. I plan to keep that up in 2020 and continue seeing more success even though the holidays may slow me down for a couple months. I am now fitting into or almost fitting into clothes from 2017 which was at the beginning of my weight gain so i still feel very confident.

Vegan Chili

Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

Vegetarian Curry

Cumin Rice

Pumpkin Pie

used butter instead of lard in the crust, eggnog instead of milk and only 1 tsp cinnamon and 3 tsp pumpkin pie spice for seasoning.




Cranberry Sauce:
1 bag cranberries
2 oranges
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp nutmeg

Cook cranberries in a large pan over medium, zest and juice oranges into the cranberries. add sugar, honey and spices and stir until all the berries pop and the sauce becomes jelly like

Mom's Turkey and Turkey Stuffing recipe:

"The turkey wrapper usually tells how to cook the turkey. I wash it and put it in the roaster pan and follow the instructions as to time and temp to cook it. I fold the wings under the turkey's back and tuck the legs into either the flap of skin or the plastic holder that most turkeys have. If they don't have either, then I tie the legs together with cotton kitchen twine. I put pats of butter on the skin everywhere that is facing up: the breast, legs, and any exposed parts of the wings. I use at least one cube of butter for basting. I don't cover the turkey. I roast it uncovered and keep basting it every once in a while until it starts to brown. Then I put a foil tent over the breast for the rest of the cooking time. I put the dressing into the pan around the turkey about an hour before the turkey should be done. 

After I get the turkey in the oven, then I make the dressing. "

DRESSING RECIPE

1 1/4 cups chopped onion

2 1/2 cups chopped celery (with leaves)

1 cup butter

14 cups soft bread cubes (half French and half wheat)

3 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp dried sage leaves, crumbled

1 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves

3/4 tsp pepper

Heat the butter in a big pot over medium heat.

Cook and stir the onion and celery in butter until onion is tender.

Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes.

Stir in the seasonings.

If your pot is big enough, stir in the rest of the bread cubes.

If it's not big enough, maybe the roaster lid is big enough, or a large bowl.

NOTES:

"I really like celery and onions, so sometimes I put in more than the recipe calls for.

If I've got a really big turkey I will double the recipe. "

"After I make the dressing I make the turkey broth".

TURKEY BROTH DIRECTIONS

Put the neck, gizzard, heart and any scraps of skin, fat or bone in a big pan of water (or chicken broth).

You can add seasonings if you want, like a few peppercorns and a bay leaf. But it's not necessary if you don't want to.

Boil it while the turkey is roasting.

Every once in a while you can put a little of it into the pan with the turkey.

Let it mix with the melted butter and use that to keep basting the turkey while it roasts.

Before you put the stuffing into the pan with the turkey, take out as much of the broth and drippings as you can with the baster.

Put it in a separate container from the pot of broth with giblets.

This should be used a little at a time to baste the turkey and dressing until it is done.

It's also good to put into the gravy.

Be sure to adjust portion sizes to your own personal height and body frame.

Note: I do not suggest this week at all unless you put in the physical effort because there are a lot of high calorie foods. Remember I am on my feet a lot more and have increased my activity level so if you want to eat cheese burgers and french fries every day you have to get on your feet too.Also you may have noticed a higher calorie deficit this is because I increased my calorie budget for my increased activity level. Even though I have increased my budget it is obvious I hardly do go over the original budget which leads me to believe there is a middle ground I need to find when setting my budget. Also not I am on my period this week which probably explains the drastic weight gain, I hope. If you look back to this time last year though I was pushing over 320 lbs and wearing a size 3x 4x so I think I may be on my way down.
