What do I really like about this cookbook. Dave talks about all kinds of different spices and what good they do for the body.
super spicy citrus chicken:
I have to say I do like this cook book. I came home late tonight and made something for tomorrow night. I had some chicken so I sliced it really thin and tossed it in the wok (always pan of choice). So I found a recipe for super spicy citrus chicken. So I have it in the refrigerate and now it is time to read the cooking instructions. Oh he is leaving it whole. I left out the red pepper flakes because dear husband gets heart burn. It is very good. I could put this over rice or in a burrito like that one restaurant that has the lime rice. I would make this again. I would really like it with a slice of swiss cheese melted on it and then put on a huge salad. I did say I can eat anything on salad.

Stand tall and proud
So I started out this month with these big dreams of working out and walking or running every morning, eating so healthy that I get in hot shape over night. Well once again it didn't happen. Yet! Should I give up and toss in the towel? No.
I need to look at what I have done right and give credit for that. So I just finished day 3 of Jillian's ripped in 30. Credit. Last night I really wanted ice cream on the way home and I started thinking how it would effect my goal and I did a pass on that ice cream. Credit So I made it pass day 3. Yaaa. May people give up by day 3. Credit.
So if the hard days are 3, 6, 9 today should be not as hard.
When will I see results? I hope soon. Some days I feel like the weight comes back on so fast and takes so long to leave.
This is how I am looking at it; stick to it, bring in the experts, write it down.
You may be asking why I would say bring in the experts. I got the DVD of Jillian Michaels ripped in 30. She has on her web site her 30 day meal plan. I printed it out and put it to the test.
The test was, How does her meal plan stack up to the concepts? I will tell one of the things I need to work on, 1. 1 serving. 1 taco. 1 is a hard thing to do. What about, "it's so good I need to eat seconds". Am I insulting mom if I don't have seconds. Where did this whole seconds concepts come from? Will mom never invite me over again if I don't eat until I am so stuffed I need to take a nap before I go home?
How many traditions we grew up with need to go.
1. A fat kid is a happy and healthy kid.
2. Clean your plate because of the starving children
3. Why is going out to play such a chore.
What about the things we have forgotten.
1. desert isn't with every meal
2. a treat is a once in a while thing.
3. Just because you can afford it, do you need it. (Eating out)
4. You don't need to eat it all at once and save some for later.
Well I have to get something done today.
I'm feeling good. I had some oats for breakfast. so I am ready to go. I need to stop at the store and grab some greens for lunch.
Have a great day

27 concepts
I was at a meeting last night and as I was talking about my book and log I started thinking again about where I listed the 27 concepts to live by. I thought I should put them on a post by themselves.

8. Cheating
9. Concept once you stop walking, you will miss it. (My dear husband misses our bonding time.)
10. Non diet food
11. You can’t make people understand your point if they have a mind set against it. Concept: This is working for me and it may not be for you.
12. Learning from the past

14. Really tasting food
15. You will eat again
16. If you keep doing the same thing you will get the same outcome.

Day 2
I made it day 2. I got up day 3 and thought about tracking day 2. Last night my thought was screw it. who cares but this morning I thought just get it done. Good bad or whatever just get it done. Every time I wanted to eat I would think, eat it track it. Pass on eat it. I then thought but you have to eat. Not eating isn't something you can maintain. Well you could but you wouldn't beable to live life. Anyone that thinks you can please e-main me in a month and let me know how's that working for you.
Here is a test for you. do something you can track like picking up something heavy and do it again in a month. I am guessing if you don't eat healthy and work out strength train I am going to guess it will feel heavier in a month. It might take 2 months to notice. How many times have you thought I use to do....... (fill in the line) and if seamed so much easier 5 years ago. You might say when I started doing....... but after a month it started to become a pc of cake. (easy) I had to give myself a tracker of NYNY on the tracking page because I did 1 mile but not 2 and not 30 min or close to it. I didn't do those 100 crunches, I did track those calories and stayed where I wanted to be. I have to think of what the other N was for. BRB I did an edit because I should of tracked 2 Y and 2N so I changed it.
Hope all of you are doing well and think positive about making changes.

Day 1
So I got up. This is a hard think for some. If you over sleep then you have the excuse not to work out because you have to get to work.
So I made it 1 mile on the treadmill. I want to do the other mile with dear husband tonight, I also did some form of 100 crunches. Now I have to look something up and get to a meeting. I ate some fruit because I know they are going to have tons of bake stuff at the local meeting.
I helped DH carry shingles down the hill and stack them. It wasn't much but I'm counting it. So it is aff to the beach for a walk in the morning.
