One Meal at a Time...

I need to stop taking these long breaks from my Blog!  Ok, so this long stint away from my blog was not entirely my fault.  Our laptop had been acting funny for a little while and then got completely taken over by a virus.  Luckily, my cousin got it running again and it seems to be doing just fine.  Therefore some of the pictures of yummy food did not make it up on this blog.  Plus you got to skip my last few weeks of weigh ins... I didn't lose any weight the week before last, and last week I gained a little over a pound.  Time to get back to it!  I set a goal for March of losing 14 pounds.  Not sure if I can do it, but worth a shot!  :)  First off, I'd like to share a picture of some of the beautiful Gerbera daisies that my hubby got me for Valentine's Day, aren't they beautiful!  I'm such a lucky girl! Speaking of my hubby, here's a picture of him in the new Superman shirt I got him for Valentine's Day before our night out at Frog and Turtle!  Yum! 

Leftover Rice and Chicken?  Why not make a chicken fried rice!!!!  :)  I sauteed onions, mushrooms, and Jicama, added the mixed veggies - warmed those up.  Added chicken.  In a separate pan i scrambled some eggs, added them to the veggies.  Then in that same pan fried the rice with some soy sauce, and added the rice to the veggies!  It was yummy!  I had never had Jicama before either, it had a texture like water chesnuts, but I dont like water chestnuts because there isn't any flavor.  The Jicama was sweet and nutty, with the same texture.  It went pretty well with the stir fry. 

It's been a while since I've posted.  I was sick last week (awful cold) and kind of been busy just trying to stick with watching my calories.  I haven't tried too many new things that I've taken pictures of to put recipes up on the blog, hence why I haven't really blogged.  To keep you updated on Weigh Ins, last Wednesday I lost a total of 5.6 lbs, but this week I didn't lose any weight.  Which is to be expected since I did so well last week.  Jarrod didn't lose any weight last week, but lost over 2 lbs this week.  Yay for him!  We both have been slacking on going to the gym.  This morning I wanted to get up and go but I hit my snooze for a solid hour.  Yikes.  Maybe tomorrow morning?  Maybe if I write about it, I will feel like I need to keep to my goal!!!  I have been doing Zumba and Wii Fit practically every day.  I got Zumba for the Wii and it is so much fun!!!  :)  I'm tempted to try out a real class, but I'm going to practice some more on the W
