Hello everybody.... it is now day 76 and I cannot believe that I am still going strong. I have come to the conclusion that the reason why this "diet" is finally working for me is because firstly I see the results. That has got to be the biggest motivator by far. The second reason is my friends and family that continue to walk this journey with me and only want to see me happiest... it truly is amazing. Thirdly, all the extra things that has accompanied this life change is really helping me to stay on track; like writing this blog and going to my weigh ins every 2 weeks. All of these elements combined is keeping me going!! However, my will power is dwindling...... I love beer, always have, always will, this weekend that just passed, I did not do well at resisting the temptation to drink a cold one! Granted I chose Coors light, which is probably one of the better choices, but I definitely drank too much of it... guess I'll have to work extra hard for the next weigh in! Its the summer time BBQ's, patio night season and gathering of friends that makes it really hard to say no to a delicious beverage! Feeling good is my motivator and I definitely feel GOOD!! On to day 77...... with no beer! ;)
Of course, here are some recent meals....
<---------------------------------------------------------
Extra Lean beef burgers on lettuce. With the right seasonings, this is a really delicious meal!
---------------------------------------->
Chicken Thighs broiled in the oven with steamed broccoli. I found a new spice, Jamaican Curry, excellent on chicken.
<------------------------------------------------
"breaded" chicken breast with broiled veggies. I used the Dr.Poon approved bread to make bread crumbs, added some herbs and spices and voila, breaded chicken! Really tasty.
Many people have asked my for recipes, however I have not taken the time to write down what I use in my foods, a lot of them comes from throwing a bunch of things together that I think will taste good and be flavorful. I will make an effort to write down what I use and I will begin to post recipes for those that want to try them out!
