Good evening

Good evening all, tonight we had a 4oz grilled ribeye (mmmmmmm!!!!!!) a nibbler ear of corn, green beans and of course a salad. For my daily hour of activity, I went out and worked in the yard and garden for an hour.

Lunch time

Its lunch time and I am at school today. I had my usual lunch of a turkey wrap, 13 chips and a carrot. I still can't get over the fact that I feel so full.

Good monday morning all

Good monday morning all. Its time for breakfast and I will have 2 of my "Egg Cupkakes". I will post the recipe later and calorie content for these. Anyway everyone have a great and wonderfully blessed day.

Sunday Supper

Tonight we had seared chicken breast(4 oz), roasted sliced sweet potatoes, black eyed peas and of course we started with a great salad.

What am I doing?

I have had some questions about what kind of plan are we following so I am going to post our daily meals here, We are not following a specific plan. I am kind of making it up as I go. I have always had a problem with dieting because I was always hungry after every meal and every plan I have ever tried never worked for long. So what I have done is just find foods that I like and that taste good to me and am working around that. The one thing I really realized is when I went to the grocery store Saturday is that I was eating 4 portions of meat at each meal. Well 4 portions adds up to about 800 to 1200 calories. Ok so I have to cut back on the meat that I eat so what do I replace it with that was the hard part. I had to find something that would make me feel full and yet not add the calories. We start every meal with a salad with a light dressing(my new favorite is sun dried tomatoe vinagrette) and for the meal we have at least 2 vegetables. But we do not mix starches like we do not have corn and potatoes. One thing that also helps me is not eating alot of bread. Bread adds weight and it does it fast. Adding fiber to my diet has really helped me to fell full and for longer. I also eat fruit as a snack. I have not began to exercise yet I am going to add one thing at a time. I will begin an exercise program this week. I have found in the past that if I try to do it all at once I always fail. This time I have decided to start slow and work up to a lifestyle that I want to live. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I will do my best to answer them as best as I can.

Sunday Morning weigh in.

On monday April 6th, I decided to change the way I eat and live. For the past 6 days I have watched what I ate and made sure it was the proper serving size. I also addded lots of fruits and vegetables. The results are obvious on Monday morning when I weighed I was 240 lbs. This morning I weighed in and the results are I have lost 9 lbs. WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good morning at church. Just ate my usual lunch of a Turkey wrap, 13 chips and a caorrot best thing is it had 28 grams of fiber which is really great for you and fills you up.

Tonights Menu

The Pork chop was a serving of 4 oz. grilled with Kickin' Chicken spice, green beans w light salt and black pepper, Small baked potato w/ 1 tsp Lite Sour Cream and 1/2 oz shredded cheese. Weigh in time is tommorrow morning, hopefully keep the numbers going down.

Chicken Cucuzzi with Tomato Sauce

Charity came up with the name for this invention. She really loved it. We figured up the calories and there is only 510 per serving. If you only have a half serving of pasta it would be 400 calories.

Chocolate covered strawberries

OK, I know its been a while since I uploaded the last video, but school has kaept me really busy the last couple of weeks. This has to be the easiest desert/treat to make.
