RE: Basment Budget Meals #1: Mince Veggie Noodles.

Got over my excuses.
Cut toxins out of my food, beauty, cleaning, and laundry products.
Increased nutrition in everything I eat.
Learned to cook healthy food for myself.
Exercised DAILY within my limits - way less walking; way more stretching and EASY strength moves.
Got enough rest and fluids
Never gave up.

All of this still applies today and I am still at my goal weight. Notice there is nothing about calorie counting or counting steps on here.

= =
Within that, there are a lots of smaller details, but that is the general overview. When I work with people directly, I suggest one or two smaller changes at a time, depending on the person, and after a few months of those changes, it snowballs.

Yeah I started my journey at 120kg. Just hovering over 105kg now. I need to get back into the swing of things.

What were you doing when you were on a roll, and what made you stop?

Looking at this budget meal, I can think of many ways to make healthier for not too much cash. You can take a look at my recent "add nutrition" post and see what you think. I'll be glad to offer specific ideas if you are interested.

I'm also posting fitness moves on my son's blog and this post has a list of them.

Don't give up! You are holding - not gaining, and this is a very good sign.

No! You need the variety. You have a really good start with this meal and it would be easy to boost. Here is what I would have added to this dish. It's not all budget, but here are ideas:

Turmeric: root boiled into water or powder. Both are very cheap for me here. If you buy powder in bulk, it is expensive at first but then lasts.
Black pepper; activates the turmeric.
Coconut oil; to be more filing and satisfying.
Any other chopped veggie such as onion, cabbage, or garlic. Some of the broccoli would have been good in here.
Some type of green like cilantro, sprouts, or dill.
Lime or lemon juice - Apple cider vinegar would be a substitute for those too.

You might have a cheap source of fresh veggies near you. You can grow your own sprouts cheaply and easily.
