I made a weird concoction this evening that turned out very tasty. Does not look very appetizing, but wow what a flavor explosion. Got some ground chicken that I made burgers with not long ago and they were kinda bland, so wanted to step it up with the rest of the ground chicken.
I sauteed some onions and bell peppers, then some ground chicken. Mixed them together and added some Kings Hawaiian Big Island Lava sauce and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Topped it with a pineapple slice (yeah, from a can because I did not have fresh pineapple) and drizzled it all with some less sodium soy sauce.
Again, not much to look at, but very tasty...maybe a little too spicy with the King's Hawaiian sauce, but that did not stop me from enjoying it.
I like tossing stuff together and seeing what the results are. This would have been better served with some sticky rice, but I certainly had enough carbs already with the sauce and pineapple.

You do a good job with all kinds of sauces, rubs, spices, etc. That way, food never gets boring to eat.

Looks great! Have you ever looked into getting a low carb cookbook so you make lower carb versions of your favorite sauces?

Right now it's rather slippery so today will be JM and yoga. I HATE WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least I'll get the yogurt going and some sewing done.

@Songbird76 did you look into getting a Fitbit?
Yes, and I know I want the Charge 2...now I just have to wait until we have the money. We just bought 3 new laptops (one for myself and each of the kids) and then both of them outgrew their bikes in the last month, so we just spent about $1500 on bikes. So now we have to build up the stores a bit again before I can buy it.

Ouch...that does sound like a hit to the budget. I think the Charge 2 is a good choice. Good luck.

Hey, you can't fool us--all these aren't yours! We know you went to your local library, and took pictures of these books on the shelves. ;):happy:

Yeah, those library folks did not like it a bit when I rearranged those books so they were in no particular order. The hardest part though was pulling all the Dewey decimal labels off them before I took the pics.

Good afternoon! Sorry I have had a busy week and forgot to check in. Today was spraying weeds, laundry, and weedeating. It was nice outside with a slight breeze. Dinner is simple even though it’s DH’s birthday. Just some oven baked chicken tenders, roasted veggies, and a spinach salad. We are going out to eat on Friday when he is off. Walking when he gets home. I did weights earlier. :)

Is there such a thing as TOO much exercise? They've changed the schedule again, and I'm scheduled every day this week, and every day next week except Friday because it's a holiday. I worked every day but Friday last week, too, and I went in early and stayed late. I'm so tired!!!! So how much is too much?

Hi everyone! Haven't really ever posted here before. I've unfortunately always struggled a bit with my weight and have recently been getting back into it. Happy to report I'm down 11 pounds in a little over a month! I probably still need to lose another 35 or so to get back to my goal weight, but I am happy with the good start.

I've been really cutting back on carbs and that seems to help a lot. In the past I used to run a lot, but I'm even finding success just going for a 45 min walk every evening when I get home for when I don't feel like doing something so "strenuous".

Yes! I think you need to move around and not sit all day but not so that you are exhausted every evening. Maybe up your protein to give you energy. Take breaks when you can. Good luck. Hope you feel some more energy soon!

Welcome!! And congrats! I find walking benefits me more than running. Also, my knees appreciate it the older I get😁

I'm only 27, but due to sports (specifically softball catching) through high school, my knees are also less than perfect. I've ran a bunch in the past, including maybe 10 half marathons and 2 full marathons... but I probably want to stick to the 10k races these days lol. My body seems to be responding well to the longer walks.
