25.6 lbs. and Counting....

Happy Monday everyone!

I'm down 0.8 lbs this week... not a huge loss, but I'm ok with it! I know some weeks are going to be slower than others. It doesn't matter how much I work out or eat healthy, sometimes there'll be weeks where I lose very little. I'm not discouraged though... only motivated for bigger numbers this week!

My weekend flew by! I did a lot of resting and movie watching on Saturday. I did do the 60 minute Marathon workout on Wii Active though. My muscles were very sore on Sunday! Sunday Brian and I had a relaxing day of movie watching, Super Mario video gaming and dinner cooking. We decided to try out a new recipe this weekend. It's called Chicken bruschetta bake. It was so easy to make, only 330 calories per serving and quite delicious! We got the recipe from the Kraft website. You take 4 small chicken breasts and put them in indivdual sheets of tin foil (spray pam on the sheets first.) Then you mix 1 box of stovetop stuffing, 1 can of diced tomatos and 2 cloves of garlic into a bowl. You pour a bit of that mixture over each piece of chicken, and top each piece with a sprinkle of basil and 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. You fold up the tinfoil and put the servings into the oven at 400 for about 35 minutes. So yummy!

I tried my new Kashi granola bars. They are so fantastic! The dark chocolate coconut ones feel like they have a thick layer of fudge on top. The pumpkin pie ones have a thick layer of pumpkin spice. The key is that the "topping" on the granola bars are made from dates, which is why it's so healthy. The chocolate one tastes so much like fudge but really it's dates and cocoa. I highly recommend both flavors!
