For the last few years I’ve had the luxury of working from home. For the past 60 days, I’ve been trying to take advantage of this luxury and cook more of my lunches at home. Since taking up this new approach to mid-day meals — people have commented that I look thinner. One person was even quoted as saying that I looked “thin and incredibly handsome”. I had to include this comment in the blog!
I’m sure I’ve lost weight, but I don’t know exactly how much. Our little boys broke our bathroom scale about a year ago and it has yet to be replaced. My best guess is that I’ve lost around 10 or 15 pounds.
How I did it:
- My secret has been to eat healthy lunches consisting of a meat and two veggies cooked with Mumbo Jumbo {no-nonsense seasoning}. I’m not guaranteeing this approach will work for you (unless you also gave up 5 burger / bar food lunches like I did).
- Once a week I try to eat a vegetarian meal (meatless Mondays) and when I’m out at a restaurant I try to pick the grouper instead of the ribeye.
I still eat out for lunch once or twice a week, and Urban Pie (my favorite local pizza joint) still sees me a couple nights a week, but despite all of that — I’ve been able to make a few smarter choices and lose that unwanted gut.
As for exercise — I have two young sons to chase around, and I’m coaching a teeball team (12 small boys to chase around).
So if you’re looking to eat a little healthier pick up some Mumbo Jumbo seasoning…use it on your favorite meat and veggies…and get “bikini-fine for the summertime”!
Results may vary…Shake…Grill…Enjoy,
Jeremy
