Time To Get This Party Started Hardcore

      It sure as hell is. Feeling good today. I got in my workout, albeit a shorter one, have lots errands to run today, but I don't want to get lazy and not go as often as I want to. I have set a goal of at least 70lbs gone by the time I go to England early next year. I can do it and if I really try I may get even more. Shit what will I look like. A half melted candle? LOL Maybe, but all I know is I'm bringing a empty suitcase to fill with some cool English clothes & shoes. I have also, to the dismay of hubs, cut all carbs out of evening meals except for 3x a week. He then has the choice of potatoes, rice, or grains. I am now back on track for quite some time. I should be almost at my goal but I got lazy. Well I've had some good arse kicking from a few friends and they help by design as well. SO enough about that for now. Today is sharing some recipes that I have made now that are healthy and lower in fat, so here are a couple that we recently had.

Yields about 3/4 cup chicken, rounded 1/3 cup salsa and 2 teaspoons coconut per serving.        So there you have a couple of recipes. The serving sizes are not for a real dinner, I mean a 1/4 pound of shrimp will not fill up my hubs. Shrimp though are good and not bad to eat calorie wise. I've been making more fish and chicken and staying away from red meat. I do love me a juicy hamburger or steak though. LOL   Well peeps got to run and I know you have older blogs to catch up on, LMAO    So Ciao For Now peeps  Until tomorrow then.
