ok, dinner tonight:

this was a new recipe i came up with that was OUT OF THIS WORLD


cube chicken breast (or tenders) and marinate in a bowl of teriakye sauce, also cut off tails of uncooked shrimp and marinate in the same sauce (different bowl)

add a little light olive oil in an electric skillet (or reg skillet if you choose)
add chopped fresh garlic
chopped onion
sliced thin yellow squash
fresh sliced mushrooms
garlic powder
pepper
saute'...



NOW...
when the first mixture is 3/4 way done, add the marinated chicken and cover....when chicken is nearly done throughout, add the shrimp

let cook about 3 minutes and add green onion (chopped)

cook an additional 3-5 min stirring occasionally....

i didn't really measure anything, just eyeballed it to see about what would feed the 5 of us, and I was on target!

serve over a bed of white or brown rice...or eat by itself if you are carb watching

THIS WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD!!!

hope you all had a great day...i hurt my left foot and have been hobbling along all day, didn't do my 3 mile walk because of it, but going to try to do some crunches or something like that in a bit...we'll see how that goes

hugs guys!
Jen

[keenercam]

Hey, Jen! Congratulations on the great job offer and all the amazing exercise you have been doing. You are really kicking butt, aren't you? I am sorry you hurt your foot, but I bet it was from all that "happy-dancing" over the last day of your job!

So, when does the new job start? Bet you are psyched to have a couple weeks off,right?

Take care, kiddo, and keep up the great work! btw, swimming is probably a good choice, right now!

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Jen,

Sorry to hear that you hurt your foot. Good for you for finding another form of exercise though!

Congrats on the job. That is great news!

Keep up the good work!

Hi Jen!

You're welcome!
So Holiday World...? Is it what sounds like? A holiday themed park? I am intrigued! hehe!

Hope you are having a smashing weekend & have fun walking away those pounds!
Mike

 

[Cruise04]

Jen you are doing so great. I hope you get another loss soon!!!! You deserve it!!!!

I've wanted to go to Holiday World and just have never gotten there. Someday!!!!

Keep on
Chris

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

www.holidayworld.com is their website...it's just what you said Mike, a holiday theme'd amusement park, with water park, roller coasters, etc....it's small compared to other parks, but more than enough to do, cheaper than most, free soft drinks (this didn't helpm me since i dont' drink them LOL) and free parking, so a really nice place to visit for the day...anyhow i was zonked after that!

well after the scales doing some ups and downs, probably due to too much sodium over the past few days I'm back at 271.5...so hopefully i'll lay off the sodium and see a good loss tomorrow or the next day that would be nice i'm DYING for the 60's....it would be a GREAT moral booster at this point!

i'm off to my new job today (my teaching job) just getting paper work knocked out, setting up my office, etc...no teaching til sept, but i get paid for today, so i'm game!

doing well

yesterdays eats were:

BREAKFAST: bowl of shredded weat in skim milk

LUNCH: 2 turkey/cheese grilled (in ff butter spray pam) w/tomato and onion on lf/lc bread

DINNER: 3 chicken strips (a planned splurge) @ the drive in...plus a little popcorn and 5 sugar free chocolates...however I got sick after eating these things...probably because my body is not used to them and THEY ALL CAME BACK UP!!!

oh also had some bing cherries earlier in the evening, they came up too

WATER: 64 OZ

EXERCISE: walked 1.5 miles

ok...that's it from gator world...oh and even though gator hasn't posted, he got his 35# clippie...i'm off to update his stats for him now

hugs!!!
Jen
