Mon 2/5/2007 10:13p | >>I eat like a pig at Disneyland even when I'm supposed to be being careful (I only get there about every 3 years, so it can't do TOO much damage!)<<
That has been a real problem for me the past few years. When we only went every now and then I would say, "I only eat this at Disneyland." But now we are AP's and go several times a year. I have had to limit myself to one or two of those "things" each trip. Even with all the walking and being careful I usually gain a few each time. Drives me CRAZY!!!
>>a new fast food type Hawaiian food place opened in our town<<
Is it L+L or Ohana? A Hawaiian plate lunch isn't complete without mac salad where the ratio of macaroni to mayo is 1:1.
Congratulations tiggerdis. Sounds like you are well on your way.
Thanks for the recipe smedley. Maybe others could post some of their favorite healthy meals/snacks. |

Tue 2/6/2007 8:20a | Here is one of my favorites:
Crockpot chicken and "chili"
1 can black beans
1 can white beans or pinquitos or kidney beans
1 can corn
1 16 oz jar chunky salsa or mexican tomatoes
4 chicken breasts or thighs
Drain the beans and corn. In a crockpot mix together with 1/2 of the salsa. Place chicken on top and pour the rest of the salsa over the chicken. Set on low for 8ish hours.
If you use breasts they can get a little dry, so I break them up or shred them before serving. You can also add 1/2 cup LF shredded cheese about 5 mins before serving (just til it melts)
Serve with LF tortillas, LF cheese and salad
The leftovers can be made into a really good soup just by adding some chicken broth :)

Tue 2/6/2007 12:50p | ^^That sounds wonderful. We eat a lot of chicken (we raise them) so I am always looking for new ways to diguise er-a serve it. |

Tue 2/6/2007 9:08p | Mmm, that does sound good. My damsel and I love eating Mexican. We're always concocting new dishes. As far as the tortillas go, I would go with the South Beach wraps/tortillas. They're really good and high in fiber. |

Thu 2/8/2007 2:22a | Wow, I haven't checked in for a while. I don't have a crockpot. Can I cook this on the stove in a reasonable amount of time? Like an hour or two? That recipe sounds yummy.
I've lost 14 pounds and have about 6 to go. I'll probably gain a few back since the last few have been from not eating (not from dieting). |

Thu 2/8/2007 7:47a | I don't see why you couldn't make this on the stove or in the oven :) I read the conversions one time for crockpot/oven. I'll see if I still have it, if not it could probably be googled. The 8 hours for the above recipe can probably be shortened, like I said, sometime the chicken breasts are over done.
I haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks :( but then again I haven't gained any either. Our walks have been shorter due to work, so this week I'm trying to get back to longer walks. I'm also changing my foods a bit. I think I was sticking with something that was working and now it isn't. |

Thu 2/8/2007 2:59p | Week one of my lifestyle change finds me at a loss of 3.5 pounds! Yea! I feel good and am feeling more energetic. I've been doing a little walking, must do more, though. I think excercise is the key, 'cause change of diet will only go so far. |
