Healthy Weight Loss

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!

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,

It was and I just got back from a power walk and it felt good. I have been cooking extra and taking the leftovers to work with me.

Have a great night at work,

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've been doing so great with my eating and staying on track..
Yesterday, i walked lots running errands and back home again..
but then i got motivated to get up and go walking again.. it felt great!
i did an hour and a half of brisk walking..
other than the fact it was SO darn hot and i forgot to bring water..
but proud of myself for the amount of exercise i pushed myself for ..

came home and did about 10 mins on the elliptical too, that machine kills me still, but i keep on, its got to be helping !

i will wait another week for a weigh in! =)

Congratulations to everyone for weight loss, inches lost & sharing your tips and motivation, reading through this thread always helps tremendously for me

So let's talk about cooking y'all... I need a lil' help. I have been wanting to start cooking some fish. Problem is, D won't eat it if it smells or tastes "fishy".... so convincing her to try a new receipe is gonna be kind of hard. Is there a particular fish that you like best or a way that you prefer to cook it?!

I was at HEB on Sunday, and I found some tortilla crusted tilapia that I'm gonna bake in the oven. Just in case, I bought some shrimp, that I'm gonna boil... and just do the peel & eat. Then make a spinach salad with avacado, mushroom & tomato.

I guess when I diet, I get in a rut of eating a lot of baked or grilled foods... and just wanna try something different. The last thing I wanted to eat this week was another chicken breast!
