So I just want to say that I am so blessed with such a supportive family and great friends. I loved to read all the great comments and they really helped gear me up!
This week was great! My weight this week is 266! Five pounds down! Wow, that's a lot of exclamation points. One of the great things about eating the foods that fuel is your craving level. After 3 days of eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, and drinking plenty of water, it was easier to say no to the cravings that snuck up. Working out was a challenge, on Monday when I walked out of my house @4:45 it was 3 degrees!
I found some great recipe's online on cooks.com. My recipe of the week is easy sweet and sour chicken:
6 chicken breasts
8 oz. apricot preserves
1 bottle Russian dressing
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
Mix together the last 3 ingredients. Place chicken in casserole and pour over chicken. Cook, covered at 350 degrees for 2 hours.
Serve it over brown rice and it is amazing! It is also low in fat.
I will post a picture as soon as I get a new cord for my camera.
Okay, so on to different things, because this blog is not just for weight loss, but also for things that are going on in me and Dustin's life. So I finally finished all of my licensing with Statefarm and this week I am proud to say that I did my own auto application all by myself!!! I know this doesn't really make sense to everyone, but the application is a real process that takes getting use to and it takes some time to be able to do one yourself. This job has been a learning process from the beginning since it is unlike any other job I've ever had. Everyday it feels like I learn something new and making mistakes has been something that I have to take in stride. I am used to knowing my job and correcting other people's mistakes and now I'm at the bottom trying to learn a lot of information. I'm staying positive it will not always be like this. Even my worst days in insurance is better than retail.
