New recipe

Try this. Soooo good. Thaw a turkey breast and cut off fat. Place in a crock pot and pour over it 1 can of green salsa, add garlic powder and morten's lite salt. Cook on high for 5 hours.
I served this with a spinach salad that had dried cranberries, low fat shredded mozzarela, raw walnuts chopped, almonds, soy nuts and light honey mustard dressing. I believe all of these nuts are supposed to help bring down your cholesterol. Quantities are small enough to not give you too much fat and not salted.

Food glorious Food

There is nothing like a perfect dinner when you are watching what you eat. Mostly meat is not that tasty. Today I took a lean roast and put it in the pressure cooker for 1.5 hours with the following spices. I am just so content right now. Yum. One large can of tomatoes sauce blended with 1/2 can of chipotle peppers, 1/2 a small onion. Pour over roast, add extra water, 4 laurel leaves, pepper, garlic powder. For once I will be happy if there are any leftovers. Can anyone come up with a flounder, talapia or mahi mahi recipe that is yummy?

Exercise class

I missed everyone at exercise class this morning. Yup showed up all by my lonesome to find both women's center and auditorium empty. So even though everyone else missed out because they paid more attention than I did to the dates scheduled I had a good run with my daughter. Have a good weekend. I am enjoying the runner's high and not so much the sore legs and butt from yesterday's lunges (Thank you Shantell...)

exercise

Try something new. Latin Rhythm exercise video by Kathy Smith, Belly Dance exercise video by Kathy Smith or a zumba class. Exercise should be fun!!! Not all exercise is fun for different people. I like these. I also like running, swimming and walking. Variety is great. Spelling isn't

Tone shoes

In case anyone is considering buying these I have and they hurt your feet. They feel comfortable on but then each time you go from sitting to standing without them the feet hurt. Running store says you can tone better walking barefoot. If you still insist on trying them usually Ross has some for about $30 instead of $100. I tried them for 3 months.

frustration

I guess you all have had a bad day or two when the dieting weightloss seems to slow down and put you in a funk wondering what you could possibly be doing wrong. Then there is the "goal" that hangs over your head when you are "falling" behind. What to do to get off of the plateau when old dieting habits make you feel like cutting back even more food or exercising way beyond what you need??? Today I am going to read think yourself thin. Yes that is a real book. Not sure you can do that but I need to get my head back in the right place and get remotivated. Where is the how to eat to never be on a diet again and not get upset when it takes a year to get to the goal and continue on...
