Day 2 R1

Ummm down 2.7lbs since yesterday!! WHATTT!! I really already love so many things about this weight loss/wellness program w Restoration Wellness. One thing is weighing myself daily lol Many programs discourage this but I like how it gives me an overall picture instead of a once a week pic. Also I get to text/communicate w my wellness coach daily. Previously I lost 150lbs on Jenny Craig but I had to eat all frozen foods w a lot of chemicals, fillers, etc. Tasted ok but not great. I got to see my coach 1x weekly but honestly most of them never did JC and I knew more than them about weight loss biology etc. I have already learned like 3 new things this week about weight loss that I did not know. And I am clearly not new to the weight loss rodeo lol This is the first time though in my whole life-decades of weight loss-that I feel like I’m pursuing health and wellness. Not just chasing a number on a scale. Pictured: breakfast.

Chicken Wing Dip

Seems like there's many varieties and ways to make this-this is what I do, and Keith loves it-I think it's pretty good too, but I can only eat so much of it, it's kinda greasy and I don't know...good but I like it in a buffet eating it with a LOT of other stuff, not as a main course or anything. Keith disagrees :) Thanks to BETH for introducing us to this magical dip LOL Chicken Wing Dip 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup wing sauce of your choice (we use Frank's) 1 cup bleu cheese 2 cups diced cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese preheat the oven to 350 In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sauce until well blended. Mix in the bleu cheese, chicken and Cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips.

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...
