Here I sit the day after Easter reflecting back on all the chocolate I consumed. I have learned that when you have an addiction to something you can't give in. Even a little bit! As we sat at the dinner table the dish of chocolate sat right in front of me. I fought the temptation until my sister in law took some candy. Then I noticed the mini eggs. All resistance was lost and once I started I couldn't stop!
Other than the chocolate I feel I didn't do too bad. I brought a big salad and fruit salad and made sure to pile those onto my plate rather than lots of ham and potato.
When it comes to holidays I am going to do my best but not stress myself out. I have enough stress when I look around my house at everything that needs to be done. I do want to make sure I get back on track with my diet and exercise though.
One thing that will help with those two things is my new smart phone! Yep that is right I have moved into the 21st century when it comes to phones. I am able to sync with my Vivofit, track my calories and exercise with My Fitness Pal, and get workout programs like C25K!
I also made some freezer meals to help keep us on track. Here are my recipes.
Oven Fajitas
1 green bell pepper-sliced
1 red bell pepper-sliced
1 onion- sliced
1 tomato
1 tbsp olive oil
2.5 lbs chicken tenders
fajita seasoning
Combine all ingredients in a casserole dish. At this point you can freeze for later or cook in the oven until chicken is cooked. Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes. (If freezing thaw before baking)
Chicken Cacciatore
1 green bell pepper-sliced
1 red bell pepper- sliced
1 onion- sliced
1-15oz can crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
Combine all ingridients. Add to crockpot or freeze in Ziploc bag. When cooking in the crock pot cook on low for 6-8 hrs or high for 3-4 hrs. (1/2 cup red wine can be added)
