Happy women's day everybody =)
Another Sunday another weigh in. I'm pleased to tell you I lost the 2 kg I gained in Sweden so I'm back on track to my previous weight. This week wasn't very eventful so I don't really have anything exciting to tell you about. It has been so hot here in Lisbon (around 22ºC) which is very surprising I think for this time of the year. It's sunny, the air smells wonderful and birds are starting to sing. You know it's time to get those dresses and skirts out of the closet and show them pale legs to the world.

Food
I've been into braised vegetables and meat this week. One in particular I'll be making more often: carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, chick peas and a lot of cilantro. It was delicious, but I love cilantro and chickpeas so how could it not.
I also tried making lettuce wraps. Just fill it with your ingredients of choice and wrap it like a taco but it won't work as well unless you use big lettuce leaves. It's very quick and tasty, and a lot less calories than tacos or fajitas. For mine I used red bell pepper, feta cheese, grated carrot and tomato. I served it with an egg and some pork.
I used the quinoa spaghetti again, made a sort of stir fry with minced meat, red bell pepper, mushrooms and onion and served it with some lettuce and feta cheese salad.
As snacks I've been loving some crackers with butter or cheese (I don't know what do call this cheese in English but it's quite light in calories). I also caved in to temptation yesterday and had a glorious chocolate ice cream that was sooo good.
For breakfast it's the normal - green smoothies.
Exercise
I exercised 3 times, 2 of which were the normal dance videos, the third one I decided to venture myself into the realm of strength exercises - had to stop after a while because my neck and back hurt!
