HAHAHA thought this was funny

Weigh in!

So i have officially lost 4lbs!

I feel we have been eating much better than in weeks before and its proven to work! My husband has also lost some weight but of course he doesnt need to!
I have been doing good on keeping up with my weekly meal plan and clipping the coupons and doing weekly shopping trips. But i have to admit i have yet to step into the gym :-(
I want to start doing that more in the next month!! I feel once i do it continually for 30 days i will have a routine and it will be easier to stick to!!

Bad plan day

I did nothing from my plan today... ugh i need to get back into the groove... this sickness put me out all out of whack.... oh well.
Tomorrow is a new day. And going to a friends house to hopefully learn some more tricks of the trade to healthy eating and dieting.... and maybe some key pointers on how to pack and travel with a baby LOL  Florida t-minus 5 weeks and counting

a winged dinner turned into brilliance!!

So raiding the cabinets to see what we have to make a quick and easy dinner... i see i have chicken left over from the soup i made from when i was sick and cheese and shells from we made tacos last week. I buy low carb shells, which  weren't as bad as i thought they would be. I saw we had a can of black beans from chili that was never made so i googled black bean chicken quesadillas ... i found 3 recipes that i liked bits and parts of so i combined what i like and winged it!! OMG amazing!!!

So i took the beans and mushed them with a fork in a bowl. Then i took the shell and rubbed just a dot of oil on it and flipped it over on the pan. Then rubbed the black bean paste on half the shell and sprinkled a little cheese.  I cooked the chicken in a separate pan and cooked it in a smidge of oil and sprinkled with chili powder, cumin and garlic powder and cooked it up. I put the cooked chicken on top of the sprinkle of cheese and then put more cheese on it and sprinkled some cooked corn.  Then i flipped it in half cooked each side like 4 mins and viola!!
i also took a little salsa and put it on top... i couldn't believe how good it was... and it was LOW CARB!!! mmmmm this will definitely be a repeat dinner!!

End of the week and into the the new week

So i created anther meal plan this week! i went through my ads and clipped my coupons. Then i wrote out a list of what we need to get from what stores! I feel very accomplished.

I have made 3 scarves this past week for my new facebook page in hopes of getting a part time job, or at least something to bring the money in.

SOOOO we tried the tuna steaks and as everyone told me not to over cook them .. I did... so they were dry and chewy .. oh well...

I think i may be able to cross part time job off the list

If my scarf making brings in some money i think we will be ok... i hope i can just bring 100 a week which is 4 scarves a week... if all goes as planned...

So again today i had chicken soup lol and lots of iced tea... i hope to pee this sickness out of me!

I need to start getting into a rhythm working out and hopefully i can start getting mark to go with me :-) i was told it takes 21 days to get into a set schedule... i think we can keep it up ...

Wish me luck!! i hope this takes off

Sick

:-( nothing better in a diet than to get sick LOL

So i have decided for every 25 followers i will give away a scarf (up to 100)

Then i can do giveaways after that! SO EXCITED!!! I think i will create a facebook page to put myself into sweeps!!

What do you guys think?

Watched black swan... holy crap is that movie weird... but kinda cool natalie portman did a beautiful job!!

Dr. Strangelove

Tried my hardest to become interested in this movie to only end up on my computer reading about how brittany murphys husband was crazy. oh well... it was cool seeing james earl jones that young!!

Started the morning out with a strong cup of french roast then lunch at natalies with mark after his drs appt. Had a chicken souvlaki with light feta on a whole wheat pita... not too shabby... was very unsure about the whole wheat pita.  Had a veggie chicken soup too.

Dinner had to get switched around today so i think we will be having grilled chicken with some of the new found tofu pasta shirataki thanks to karla. But i will be looking up recipes on how to get rid of the "authentic aroma" as it says on the package. never a good sign.
** change of plan... mark will not try my new pasta LOL guess it will be lunch tomorrow Stir fry style!

Sweet Potato Chips!!!

So i was walking through wegmans and was looking for some snacks that were low carb. FOUND!! sweet potato chips!!! AMAZING!!!! i was eating them and then went to grab another one, then i realized i ate all the ones i had on my plate.

Turkey Tacos.... NOT THAT BAD!!! i even paired them up with LOW CARB wheat shells i have to admit... today was pretty good :-)

Taco Tuesday!!

so this morning i had 1 1/2 cups of honey bunches of oats... i know not the best but i wanna finish it up to get something else like weight loss oatmeal!!!
So tonight is taco tuesday and were gonna make tacos with ground turkey .... let you know how that tastes tonight lol
Going to jo anns with a friend to pick stuff up for making my sons 1st birthday cards... i know i have like 5 months but i have no idea what im doing..

Fish

So we went grocery shopping today and bought some fish. Tuna steaks and cod. I have no idea how to prepare them or when to know they are cooked all the way.
Any advice how to make good fish?

Day 1 of eating better

So today i had a half of turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato on whole wheat. a cup of coffee with half and half and splenda with a friend ;-) then a chicken salad with sweet red peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and chickpeas.

I was quite proud of myself today i should have taken a picture of the salad it was a work of art!

Citizen Kane

So mark and I watched citizen kane last night... its amazing to think that orson welles was only 24 when he wrote directed and acted in it. for its time it had great camera work. Little weird with the rosebud thing.. and it being a sled but i guess when sledding was fun as a kid and your father beat you you would remember your sleds name too
