Let Me Explain

"If a person's bodyweight is at least 20% higher than it should be, he or she is considered obese. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight. If your BMI is 30 or over you are considered obese." - Medical News Today

That is fact. It's not an opinion on the topic, but merely a definition. I don't believe you have to be skinny to be healthy.

This is about my misadventures in finding a FIT and happy place to be.

MEAL PREP - Week Two

Cold Spicy Thai Shrimp Bowl


DRESSING
2 tbsp(s), Sambal Oelek
0.25 cup, Lime juice - Raw
2 tbsp(s), Garlic, minced
0.50 cup(s), Sugar
0.25 cup(s), Premium Fish Sauce
1 cup, Warm Water

SALAD
0.25 cup (28g), Whole Cashews - Salted
0.50 container (14 oz), Soba Noodles
1.5 Pounds Cooked Shrimp (cold)
0.50 cup sliced, Bell Pepper, Red
2 medium, Carrots, raw
1 medium, (110 g), Purple Onion
10 ounce, Cooked Zucchini (I used pre-cut zucchini noodles from Kroger. No cooking. The were perfect.)
0.25 cup(s), Scallions

I have raved and raved over this since I made it. Again, you'll find the original recipe below. It's really simple though. All you have to do is mix up the dressing in a jar and shake it until the sugar is dissolved. Yes, I said sugar. It's okay. You'll want to make the dressing a few days head. We made it on Saturday and used it on Monday. It was soooooo delicious. 

Cook the Soba noodles according to the container, rinse with cold water, and store until ready for use. They didn't stick together at all for me. And in case you didn't know (because I sure as hell didn't) Soba noodles are made from Buckwheat. They're quite tasty.

I separated this out into four servings and it was sooooo much food. I felt full fast. I probably could've made it 5 servings, but I was being greedy with the shrimp
