Good Morning!!!

Another positive-thinking day. Another chance to make healthy decisions. I need to remember I am worth it and that God made me just the way I am--my husband loves me no matter what size I am. The thing is, I need to be healthy. Why have I fallen off my strict regimen? What can I do to get back on there? Only time will tell, I guess. Here's to me! I hope my family has a very blessed day and can't wait to fellowship with my church this evening.


Boy this post really shows my ADD, haaaa

I'm doing it...

As I sit in a comfy warm chair at lunch, I can finally say I am happy with my choices so far today. I want to continue to pray I can make the day.

Sarah's Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant Parmesan

1.) Slice eggplant and soak for 2 hrs in salt water. Make sure they're completely submerged.
2.) Pat them dry with a paper towel.
3.) Preheat oven to 350. Mix Progresso Panko bread crumbs with some parmesan cheese ( no exact measurements. I just sprinkled some in there.)
4.) Crack 1 or 2 eggs and scramble them.
5.) Dip the eggplant slices in the egg and coat both sides.
6.) Transfer into the bread crumbs and cheese. Coat both sides.
7.) Lay them on a cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes.
8.) Boil spaghetti noodles and heat up sauce.
9.) During the last couple of minutes, add some mozzarella cheese to the tops of the eggplant slices to melt.
10.) Add the slices to the top of the spaghetti and sauce.
* I served mine with garlic toast. This recipe also works well with chicken.

That's it! It's super easy and really yummy! I hope it turns out well for you too. :)

What does one need to do to be faithful to weight loss?

I have 'cheated' long enough. The days of me eating WHATEVER I want are gone. I binge a ton. I need to stop, I WANT to stop.

On Monday, I plan to not only weigh-in , but track my food and continue to keep my blog up to date.

What do you do to be faithful?

No, really...I'm back :-)

Ok, so it took be gaining 15 lbs. for me to truely understand how my body reacts to JUNK.  In the past 3 or 4 months, in addition to the weight, my energy level has gone way down,I'm a little depressed, I have had constant break outs and just overall feel BLAAAAH.

The past two weeks have been hard,but I'm back on this journey.   I also, personally do not have time to put together the contest I anticipated, so I wanted to apologize to those individuals who expressed interest in it, I'm sorry.

Soooo.....

I plan to continue  to blog, because THIS is what helped me lose (or one of the things) that helped me lose.

Have you fallen off the weight loss wagon? What have you done to ensure you stay on your journey? Any advice is most welcome.

This is just one of the reasons I need to do this, my precious daughter.  I want her to grow up with healthy habits to ensure she won't have the same habits, problems, etc. that her momma has had 

I want her to grow up with confidence and be comfortable with who she is as a person :-)
