Cooking chicken

Smaller portion trick I learned.. make them in loaf pans then you can save the other half for another meal, or give it away to a friend or neighbor, then you wont be tempted to eat too much.

second pan I took to a neighbor

warm and golden

Now for the 30 Day Husband Appreciation Challenge weekly review Link up................

Even though we are only 3 days into this.. I am so thankful

that I decided to take part. Honestly, I am LEARNING to show more appreciation

and respect to my handsome, hard working, tough, but also tender husband.

The first couple time I "as instructed" thanked him for the things he does, and reassured him he was doing a great job as provided, and comforter, and protector... I could see it in his eyes that he enjoyed hearing it.

Which of course made me want to do it more often, there were times when "as instructed" I had to bite my tongue from saying something negative, or complaining about something he did.. But in doing that I am learning that some of the things he is doing that I complain about are not wrong.. just different..  

I did not get him a gift on day two, instead he really wanted a quiet family day at home ( we have been running like crazy super busy all week, and we have a busy today and tomorrow) so I cancelled my plans and we did just that, spent the day together just us, made homemade pita pizza's, went to the pool, had a great time! 

I am looking forward to what this week brings!

Workout Wednesday

Here is a little story about a girl who was pms'ing... and thought she knew of a way to cheer herself up so she must have forgot her meds because she stepped on the scale.. since it was weigh in day.. and then she cried.. for a few minutes.. ok an hour.. because the scale had not moved from the last time she got on it. I learned two things from this lesson... DO NOT get on scale when enduring a hormonal imbalance, two DO NOT tell husband about it he will say something stupid trying to cheer you up, however it will obviously be taken the wrong way just like anything else he says that entire week, and you will just cry more.

SO there you have it ladies... scale has not budged, however I guess I should mention I did not work out very much this week, and diet has been a bit off so I should be thankful that it didn't move in the opposite direction as I would still be crying, possibly not have come out of the bathroom as said scale experience.

I know I say it every week but this week I have to get a little more hardcore about this whole diet thing, I mean we are in bikini season, there is no turning back now.. I need to firm it up. I have however done ab workouts almost every day which I am proud of. I actually downloaded an ab app, and let me just tell you that sucker is hardcore.

The weather has not been the best for running outside, and my gym membership is frozen at the moment, which I guess that doesn't look to good for the girl who's trying to firm it up huh?

I need to re-adjust my caloric intake since I am down to only pumping twice a day now. Im thinking I am going to miss the breastfeeding diet.. I could pretty much eat as much as I wanted and I was either staying the same weight or loosing, however that needs to change.

I pulled out my Weight Watchers cookbooks, and chose a few new recipes to try this upcoming week, if they turn out good I will share them with you. I need to get out on the trail before it heats up to much to at least get a few miles in. I did purchase a snap on sun mask for the jogging stroller since on the run back she faces right into the sun, we will see how this works out.

I also need to get back in touch with Jillian, and shred it up.. it just seems like every night I have it planned I make an excuse something comes up...

What about you, any new healthy recipes you have to send my way, or workout routines?
