This is what I had for dinner.
The chicken breast strips that Tyson sells, with a sprinkle of garlic salt cooked with frozen crinkle cut carrots with thyme and crushed red pepper and I had creamy chicken flavored rice. I just added a little bit of water to the pan and let the chicken and carrots simmer in the garlic salt, thyme and red pepper. It came out very flavorful and very yummy. I had to small helpings of it and I still have enough for dinner tomorrow night... Have a great day! Zimmy |
I can't wait to try that turkey meatball recipe. I really want to find a good recipe for turkey burgers, I may try and adapt your recipe for a burger and see what happens.
I used to drink a lot of soda. I decided that when I moved to SE KY last week for work that I would stop drinking so much soda and drink more water. Plus I now live on the second floor so I have to climb two flights of stairs every day. Last week was my first week here and my body felt so much better. I was drinking more water. Since my work schedule is more regular, I am able to eat lunch in my office and only went out to eat once for dinner and it wasn't fast food. There are only a few places to eat around here, and most of them are fast food. If I forget my lunch I can easily come home and eat, right now. In a few weeks that will not be the case. I slept better, never had a headache, wasn't worn out when I woke up very early in the morning. I did have one soda a day, but I drank a LOT of water. This weekend I went back to my old ways. I was stuck inside the house most of the day yesterday waiting for a tech to come and then once he finally came and went we had a bad storm. I was out of water, but I had soda. And I drank way too much. It isn't recommended to drink or cook with the water here due to diesel spills in the water supply, mining run-off, etc. A co-worker told me about a water delivery service, so I need to get on top of that since I need to buy my water. I feel crappy that I did so well during the week and then messed up yesterday. But I went out today and bought more food for the week and water, so I can get back on track again. I need to get back on track again. Tonight I bought some boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders and some tortellini and plan on making a pasta salad for lunch for a few days loosely based on the recipe that jelli posted a while back. |

Good Evening HD,

I like bison. I buy a small package for 5 bucks. No hormones, etc. Do you know bison has less fat and higher protein? I use it to make soft shell tacos and a fantastic bakes ziti heavy with meat sauce. I know meat isn't good for me but I have days when I just have to have it. :)
My abs, ass and thighs are sore from staying busy. I'm not working out really but adding things to my routine chores. I must fill up at least 10 buckets of water a day. So I lift them a few times. I squat some while i vacuum the 50 pounds of dog hair here! lol- I clean, drag the mop, add a few extra movements. Cleaning house burns lots of calories so as long as I keep my house clean I'll stay in shape? lol But damn I hate housework. I had a little stomach virus and didn't juice a few days. I felt it. I feel like wonder woman when I juice my greens! |
I love my crock pot. I make lots of soups, I am a soup fanatic.
This is one of my favorites Cut and roast butternut squash. I put hot paprika on it and drizzle it with 1 - 2 tbs olive oil. Bake for an hour I cut up two sour apples, one red onion (cause I can't stand cutting white onion), carrots, and I saute them in water with shredded fresh ginger and garlic and a touch of salt. I pour in vege stock and season per your taste. I use lots of cumin, curry, more hot paprika, and tumeric (for the fancy color). I transfer everything to my crock pot and let it simmer for as long as I like. I puree it before I eat it. It is super yummy, healthy and low fat. |
This morning I grabbed some cute denim capris to wear to work. I didn't realize until I went to zip and button them that I had pulled them up already zipped and buttoned. :|

My loss this week was 1.3. I'm happy with that but damn, I was hoping it was just a tiny bit more so I could celebrate going into a completely different number bracket! Congrats Tura! |
Hola Everyone!
Congratulations on weight loss and completing another week of living a healthy lifestyle! Tura~ 3.2lbs is Fantastic!!!!!! Medusa~1.3 lbs and being able to slip pants on is pretty damn awesome! Made Spinach Stuffed Shells with Meat Sauce last night...YUMMOLA!!!! If you like cheese, these are extra cheesy! The portion suggests 3 shells, I had 4. It didnt make too much of a difference. Anyhow, I wanted to share the recipe. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/01/s...eat-sauce.html Happy Monday to Everyone!! Keep up the great work!! |
WOW, what great weight loss numbers! Everyone seems to be going in the right direction.... ANY loss is better than a gain, anyday!
Medusa, I totally get what you're saying about wishing for bigger weekly numbers. But it's pretty obvious (from your capri story) that you are losing inches honey! THAT IS AWESOME! I was gettting a little down, too, but D kept telling me how my clothes were fitting different. So, I went and bought a fabric tape measure and I'm gonna take my measurements once a month. Gimme another 3 weeks, and I'll let you know how the inches are coming off ;) Well, I've managed to stay within my points range this week. I very rarely use the extra 49 weekly points allowed.... that is until I went out on the town with friends to celebrate a birthday. I managed to dwindle down 24 extra points, just from drinking 3 vodkas & Sprites with lime. THEN, I managed to talk myself into eating a breakfast burrito at 2 am... and blew another 15 pounts! Ugh, I woke up Sunday morning feeling guilty. But then I realized, that's what those extra points are for!!! That the deal with WW... it leaves you room for special occassions. If it was a completely rigid program, I would have binged by now. Looking at my numbers, I'm staying well below my daily point numbers, and I still have 10 extra points, so I refuse to beat myself up! We are all making such great progress with healthier choices & exercise... let's keep the momentum going!!! |
I'm -2.5lbs this week, which makes a nice change since I've had smaller numbers recently. And I've no idea how it happened, it was so scorching-ly hot last week I missed most of my longer aerobic walks.
I need to do my measurements later because I'm really more interested in tracking my progress in inches, rather than pounds. I'm trying to make long term healthy *lifestyle* changes. And I find if I put too much emphasis on the numbers on the scale and it impacts how I feel about myself and the level of motivation I have. So instead I've set myself a few small challenges: I have some "aspirational" clothes I'd like to fit in again. A pair of jeans, a couple of t-shirts, a dress. |

Congratulations to everyone for all of these successes!!!
I've only been tracking one measurement since I started WW......right around my belly (crossing over the belly button). I measured this morning, and it's down 3.25 inches. That's such an amazing amount in my mind. My mid-section, even with that loss, is still not where I want it to be. But damn.... 3.25 inches ago it sure must've been even further away from where I want it to be!! It's all relative, huh? I'm going to go ahead and start my upper body weight program even though I haven't reached my goal weight. I'm just getting impatient. I have to keep reminding myself that since I'm a little saint when it comes to my food points/diet, the weight I might gain will definitely be muscle weight. I'm also going to do a chest measurement and track that. The weight program begins tomorrow. I'm doing weights 3 x per week, cardio and situps 5 x per week, and taking Mondays and Thursdays off. Here we go...... |
