Mojo Tilapia

How I spent my morning...

Mojo, Spicy Mustard, and Jerk sauces. Cajun, Southwest, and Taco seasonings. All P2 friendly.

Down ANOTHER shirt size!!!

Size 16 (So close to 14s!!!), XL shirt and def down a full bra size. My tummy doesn't stick out at all either. That's the shirt not cooperating w me. Lol

Chicken Parm minus the parm. Lol

Crockpot Chicken

I thought that I had posted this a few months back but I guess it must have slipped my mind. Fairly simple. Here is my Crockpot Chicken recipe.

100g Chicken Breast Tenders

1 to 2 cup vegetable broth

1-2 Tblspn Liquid Aminos

Green onion

Minced garlic

Crushed red pepper

Salt & Pepper

Tobasco (Optional)

Sometimes I add lemon juice instead of liquid aminos. Everytime I make this, it turns out different but this is pretty much the base. I only cook a max of 3 servings at a time. I just cut the chicken differently to know which is my 100g. I will usually keep one serving whole, chop one into bite size pieces, and just cut the other in half. You can't really do more then 3 though. I cook for 1 hour on high and then 7 hours on low. You probably don't have to cook it that long. I just do it bc I am gone for work for 8+ hours. I will usually put it in before I leave.

Oh, I forgot to add... After it is done, I take a fork and shred the chicken up. You may have to add more broth or you can add water to the mix because it will cook down over time. Let me know what variations you all throw on it. I am always up for trying something different!!! Enjoy!

Ok, so I did have some stuff other then the recipe to post. The bf has officially filed for unemployment. I think he is finally starting to realize why I am asking him to consider enlisting in the reserves. He has put in 10 years, he only has 10 years until he can retire with full benefits. We are young and the way the gov't is now, by the time we are ready to retire, we are going to be screwed. We will have our 401k, possibly not all of it, and whatever we have managed to save on our own. Anyway, he understands what I am trying to say. We can save up and invest, but just the medical in itself will help.

When I was updating my ticker today, I was looking at the number. That starting number was just so horrible! I WILL NEVER GO BACK! When I started the protocol, I told myself that if it really worked, I would never allow myself to see that number again. So far so good. Each day I get further and further away. BUT, today I realized that I am only 8.4lbs away from the half way point of my final goal!!! WOW WOW WOW. I never thought that it was possible. Yeah, every year, I lose in the summer time because it is hot and I am more physical then but every year I gain some of it back. Thanks to the protocol, I can say that this will not happen anymore. I have to thank my followers though. Kathryn and Helderheid have been reading from day 1! Both of you have given me awesome advice and helped me stay focused. Thank you! And to all of my other readers... Lavenderdiva, Darby, thank you for the ongoing support as well. You always have answers for my ongoing questions and wonderments regarding the protocol. Thank you!

Now, off to finish my last 8 hours of work. Hopefully I will have some new updates to read since it is getting later in the day.

First 8 days done!!!

I seriously feel like I have been neglecting everyone for not updating. I have been working a lot more lately due to the fact that the bf still has not found a job. It's like a catch-22, he has all this great experience because of the Navy but he has little experience with civilian jobs. It is really trying my patience because I feel like nothing is getting done in the way of finding a new job. I have snapped at him on more then one occasion to follow up or call the recruiters or apply for jobs himself. I don't know what I am going to have to do to get through to him but I am definitely irritated and frustrated. Our anniversary is coming up on Saturday. We will just leave that at that.

Onto HCG... I have lost all of the weight I gained during loading and then some. I have to attribute that to the awesome releasing after my loading days. Yesterday I only dropped 0.5lbs. I upped my water intake and this morning I was 2lbs lighter. I can't remember the last time I was this close to "onderland." It was probably when I was back in high school, which was almost 10 years ago. Either way, I'll take it. Life has been a roller coaster lately and the only thing that has been a constant downhill slide has been my weight. =0) Other then that, my recipe folder is packed up so I am stuck with chili and chicken salad or soup all of the time. I need to find it so that I can add some variety to my meal life. I am really getting bored with that stuff. Still no internet so I either have to update from work or from my phone. At work, there seems to be little time. We are starting to get busy again. We had a promotion going on last month but that has since ended, so I have no idea why we are so busy. September-October are usually slow season. I can't complain though. I have a steady job and pay check. I see how the bf is bored and frustrated, and I wouldn't have to deal with that.

I better get going. Need to finish up my shift and then I am back here at 0430 tomorrow morning. If anyone has some awesome recipes that you made up while bored, send them my way. I need some spice in my life!!! =0)

Happy Releasing!!!

Ready? Set. Go!!!

Ok, so it's been a while. Here is how things are going. When I started this round, I only planned to load for 2 days. That did not happen. Due to the craziness that we have been dealing with in regards to moving, it was just easier to load for 3 days. Oh boy, and load I did. Lol. Question... Has anyone dropped more then 3lbs on there first day after loading?! I did. I gained 11.8lbs during my loading days. I almost had a heart attack when I checked the scale. When I weighed in this morning for my VLCD day 1, I was down 4.6lbs!!! Someone please tell mr that you have had or seen that kind of loss bc I think it is rather high. I'm not going to dwell on it though. A loss is a loss. Now let's keep up the awesome releasing for the rest of the round. My goal is to get below 200lbs by Thanksgiving, which also happens to be my birthday. I may add an extra week at the end depending on how far away from that goal I am. I can't wait!!! Hope everyone is having a successful round. I will try to catch up later today. I don't have Internet where I am staying. Going to Starbucks would be too tempting. Lol
