Hey all you soup lovers....

I love soup and get tickled when people see me eating it in the summer.  My thought on that-I'm indoors in an air conditioned restaurant, not sitting in the sun lol

Anyway, I have a very quick and easy Chicken tortilla recipe for those of us who don't want to spend all day cooking.

You can buy a rotisserie chicken or buy a raw one and boil it yourself.  When the chicken is done, cut the chicken off the bones.  Pour 3 cups of the broth into another pot (save the remainder and freeze it once it cools for other recipes).  If you bought a rotisserie chicken, be sure to buy chicken broth and feel free to add water to it.

I use 3 cups of broth to make it soupy and filling.

Ingredients:

Chicken, chicken broth, 1 can of corn, 1 can of stewed tomatoes, 1 can of black beans, chili powder, salt, pepper, 1 whole onion (diced), cumin.

Use the seasonings to your liking.

For an additional treat, top it with cheese, sour cream and guacamole .

Enjoy!

rflol girl it was a compliment no matter how crazy he is.

His legs are well, man legs...but the fact that he noticed yours in tights...maybe they're nicely defined and he noticed that.

Not all crazy people are perverts lol

Just learn to accept a compliment graciously.

I just started it last night and made it through about 15 minutes.  I plan to do it Mon-Fri.  But I'm sure that I should do it for 30 days straight. 

I thought that if I did it daily and go to the gym on Thurs and Fri to work on the eliptical (my favorite machine at the gym) and maybe the bicycle and weights for 15 minutes each, that would still help me out.  I get bored with the same workout everyday, so that's why I thought I'd head to the gym at least 2 days a week.  I will also do Zumba for 20 minutes every now and then.  I made a calendar for 3 months and plugged in what I plan to do as far as working out so that I can stick with it this time.

I'm also counting calories and am eating more natural stuff instead of the overly processed junk.

Any suggestions?

Horseradish would be good in it...the prepared kind though.  You don't want to torture his taste buds.

Well, I had problems coming up with rewards that would get me motivated.  So here goes....

1st 5 lbs...make over

2nd..perfume (Burberry)

3rd..exercise class for a few weeks

4th.. diamond earrings

5th..new outfit

6th..perfume (Dolce & Gabana)

7th..massage

8 th..new tattoo

I know my rewards are expensive, but this will make me work towards it.

I actually prepare my meals on saturday and sunday and freeze/refrigerate them...soups, stuffed chicken, beans, etc.

I did have a burger and fries yesterday, whole wheat bun and loaded it up with spinach, tomatoes, pickles and onions.  I didn't feel bad because it wasn't that many calories...I couldn't even eat it all lol

Starting over.....

Think of it as a journey, have fun getting to your goal weight.  I can't tell you how many times I've 'started over'.  This time, instead of putting to much pressure on myself, I'm taking it very slow.

My goal is to lose 40 lbs.  But I've broken it down to mini goals...6-8 lbs a week.  Since Dec. 2, I have lost 6.2 lbs.  I've had to make healthier eating choices and work out, but it's been worth it.

Starting over is not always a bad thing. 

Cut your computer time down.  After coming in from the gym, bathing and eating, it's usually around 7.  Then I get online, text, watch tv lol and if I get hungry, I get something light.

Hi,

I am the mother of a 20 year old and a 16 year old.  When they were growing up, there was nothing so important that I couldn't stop to take time to watch them or read a book.  I'm not by any means implying that about you.  I guess my point is, there are a lot of nuts out there.  I watch a lot of Dateline, MSNBC, Nancy Grace and on a daily basis, someone is waiting in the wings to do some horrific act.

Please be careful.  I wouldn't let my child play in the front yard alone until they are at least 10...depending on his/her level or maturity. 

Safe neighborhood or not, if there's any such thing.

Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.--Plato
