I am a beautiful, vivacious, woman with a desire to lose weight and be able to do all those things I can't do now. I have had an amazing life thus far, but over the last few years have become more an observer, rather than a participater. I want to participate again!
Velvet Chicken on June 20, 2009 6:36 am
Ingrediants:
Chicken breast or diced chicken tenderloins
2 Onions finely chopped
6 mushrooms the size of the palm of your hand finely chopped
2 tablespoons of butter
1 packet of chopped frozen spinach
Cream (about half to 3/4 cup.....I just guess it)
Cheese (I use shredded pizza cheese)
In a frypan I sautee the finely chopped onion in thebutter, and then add the finely chopped mushrooms and cooked for a bit, then add the finely chopped spinach (I used the pre-chopped freezer stuff), I cook that till the spinach defrosts and it is all mixed together and then I add the cream, take it off the direct heat and add a handfull or two of the cheese and stirr for a few minutes till the cheese melted.
I heat the oven to about 180-200c, I mix chicken with the above mixture and place in a cassarole dish, top with cheese and then baked in the oven for 40mins....yum!!!! I can highly recommend this!!! There is lots of leftovers that I put in containers to eat at various times during the week....it also freezes well!

Baseless Pizza on June 20, 2009 6:32 am
This is a great low carb recipe.
Cook a chicken breast and let it cool a bit, then slice it and place it on an/in a baking pan. Top with sliced olives, peppers, tomatoe paste, onion, pineapple, mozzerella cheese and pepperoni and bake in the oven. It is absolutely fantastic, so tasty and low carb!
Try it and see how you go, you use the sliced chicken as the base and top with what you want and finish it off with the tomatoe paste and mozzerella basically. I can highly recommend this....easy as!

Quick Scallop & Prawns in basil, garlic and ginger on March 30, 2009 12:20 am
My husband and I eat this receipe often, it is so good and so simple and quick to make;
shelled green prawns
scallops
tablespoon of butter (may 2 depending on the quantity of seafood)
and out of those handy dandy jars you buy at the supermarket a tablespoon each of crushed garlic & ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of chilli and a really big squeeze of the tubed basil (you can use fresh), heat these ingrediants together
Add the prawns, cook for 2 minutes
Add the scallops, stir and squeese in some lemon juice, I probably put in 2-3 tablespoons.
Now cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Serve......it is delicious!!!!!

Stalls are not all bad on February 28, 2009 5:36 pm
I decided I would write this post today for the newbies and for those are experiencing their very first stalls. As you all know I have crowned myself the Queen of Stalls, although I would be more than happy to give that crown away.
We have all been in stalls, some have them when they come out of hospital, some at 3 weeks, some at 3 months, some every other month we all get worried and think 'what if I am the one that this surgery isn't going to work for' and because we hear so much about the so called 'honeymoon period' . Well, just stop right there, this surgery will work for you it is a tool, not an answer to all your problems you have to learn about how your tool works and how your body works.
I have to tell you I am not a big believer in the 'honeymoon' period. Yes you will lose more weight in the beginning, but you are heavier so you burn more calories just doing your daily tasks, but as you lose weight the loss of 1lb will change your physical appearance more than it did at a heavier weight. And, if you want to lose more weight you will just have to change your habits and increase your exercise. Remember this is a learning journey and the biggest one you are taking in your life, you are re-educating you.
I am just coming out of another 3 weeks stall, this is the 3rd major stall I have had in my 7 month weight loss journey. Altogether during my journey I have been stalled for 10 of my 33 weeks. That means I have been stalled almost a third of my weight loss journey and I have still lost 115lbs. I don't panic when it happens now, I watch my body, stalls are the time when it is likely to most change. When it happens I stick to plan, track everything I eat because then I know I have not done anything wrong, mix my diet up a little so my body does not get to know my pattern and start functioning to that pattern and keep on going cause I know it will drop.
When you are in a stall this is the time you must remain most positive, even thought it can be tough, I tend to post less in a stall, but I read every day and I do post. I also do more positive thinking and even affirmations to work on my mental strength. Eventually, the stall breaks and down I go. The stall is perhaps one of your greatest periods of learning and it is preparing you for the rest of your life welcome it, however hard it is.
So relax, take it easy, stick to plan and just know it will drop.

Shredded beef mexican style crockpot receipe on January 23, 2009 7:18 pm
2lb beef (I usually get chuck steak or gravy beef, but anything will do, just remove the fat)
1 packet of burritto seasoning
Water (normally I would just add a cup, but after WLS I found it useful to cover it with water, then before I shred I drain most of the liquid off and use it as a stock for soups or as a soup)
Put it all together, turn the crockpot on and cook it for like 8 hours, then you shred it with a couple of forks. I then put it in portion size containers and freeze. It take 90secs to reheat it in the microwave and then I add cheese and a little sour cream.......so yummy.
You can also use the meat as a chilli base, just add a few kidney beans and a hint of chilli and there you have it.
