Рецепт Carrots In An Orange Glaze
Today is my first day back into an office environment. It’s going to be a long day. I spent the last two years working from home. My kitchen table was my office space. Not such a good thing though. I wasn’t eating a whole lot of peas and carrots.
If you are looking for an excuse, you will definitely find one. I had an excuse for not exercising almost everyday. I let other things become my priority. This past week was my last week working from home. And to my surprise, I ran 7.52 miles this week. Why? Well, I was going back to the office and I had gained 30 pounds in two years. i don’t even have business attire that fit me. My uniform for the past two years was a pair of sweats. Also, not a good thing.
Carrots In An Orange Glaze
I use arrowroot as a thickener instead of flour or cornstarch. Unlike cornstarch, arrowroot is completely flavorless and will not impart a starchy taste into puddings or other dishes that it is used to thicken. Also arrowroot is much more digestible. Just make sure you add it to a cold or room temp liquid before adding it into something hot as it will clump into one ugly mess.

I didn’t realize how convenient my pantry door was. The door that housed the junk food the hubby enjoys eating. Yes, I often opened the pantry door and staring at me would be lots of goodies, err, baddies. Things you should only eat in moderation or not eat at all.
But if I stay organized, and don’t have a pantry in my office cubicle, that will be half the battle.
Oh my friend Sarah over at Losing Weight and Having Fun, helped me get motivated to move again. I signed up for two 5K races. See Jane Run on June 8 and Drag N Fly on September 21.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. I sure hope I do
