Frozen Deliciousness

I have a confession. I eat a frozen meal almost every weekday for lunch.

I know these aren't the healthiest foods I could be eating, but they are simple and cheap. I love to eat warm food. Sometimes I feel if I haven't eaten something warm, I haven't eaten. I've tried packing sandwiches or salads but when I do that I tend to go out and get fast food.

Usually frozen meals are really nothing to get excited over. I buy either the vegetarian kind or I pick the meat out. (In case you haven't noticed this yet..I'm really particular about my meat.)

Lately though, I've been eating 2 or three Lean Cuisine Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni a week. I find myself craving them throughout the day and continuing to enjoy them week after week.



This meal has huge chunks of zucchini, peppers, and carrots. The tomato sauce is really more flavorful than you'd expect as well. And there is real cheese in it that melts so wonderfully.

Is there a frozen entree that you can't get enough of?

Lean Cuisine makes a good pizza too. My problem is that one Lean Cuisine never fills me up and I'm hungry 2 hours later.

Oh man I do love me some sodium-laden frozed meal goodness. I still pack my salad to go along with it, and it somehow makes me feel better for eating them. Lean Cuisine has a butternut ravioli that is just TO DIE FOR. And WW has a ricotta and spinach pasta thing that I had a handful of chicken to (I am also a slave to those bags of already cooked chicken breast chunks to throw on salads) and I have a very happy mouth.

Well, I have to confess, too. I pretty much do the same thing! Frozen meals are my best friends for lunch during the week.

Right now, I seem to be stuck on the Baked Chicken from Lean Cuisine. It's baked chicken tenderloins with cornbread stuffing & mashed potatoes. Can you say comfort food!?! lol Yum-O!

Another one I love is the LC Chicken Carbonara. It has roasted chicken tenderloins in a creamy Parmesan cheese sauce with turkey bacon, mushrooms, basil and garlic. It's served over a bed of linguini and it's tossed with roasted red peppers. Another Yum-O! My daughter loves this one, too.

I also make a batch of carrots once a week so we can make sure we have enough veggies for each meal.

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier, ...

Freezing Cold

Image
Alright peeps, I'm here for your help. I usually a very cold person and I'm not talking about my personality. What I mean, is that even if a room is at 70 degrees, I'm still chilled. My toes and fingers get the worst of it. Matt learned this quickly about me and he also noticed that when I'm cold I'm not a very pleasant person. My Christmas gifts last year included a snuggie, an personal space heater, and a down blanket. I guess he likes his woman happy! Anyway, my latest problem is that after I work out and come back to my apartment to cool down I get really cold. Like teeth-chattering, body shivering-ly cold. I'm not quite sure why this is but I don't like it. Any recommendations?? Does this happen to any of you?

I'm SO Blessed

I've recently started to notice something very special about my journey. I have SO much support. I've always had that support. Even though Matt hasn't always been on board with the diet, he was always willing to eat where I felt comfortable. He put up with my low calorie dinners and was a sport when I'd leave him each night to go to the gym. But I haven't had just Matt. I've had many, many more supporters. My Mother in law started her weight loss journey last August and she was a driving force in me deciding to change my ways. I saw how it was possible for her to lose the weight and for some reason it just clicked that if I really committed and did what I knew I should do, I could do it too. My sister, ShaReece, started weight watchers at the first of this year and has since lost 50 plus pounds. She's great to talk to about her struggles because we come from the same background, eating the same foods, and participating in the same activities. She gets where ...
