Progress Update

Week one on Weight Watchers Freestyle was a success. I managed to stay on track and I lost four pounds. I'm still a little overwhelmed by how much I need to lose, but I'm trying not to focus on that. I'm trying to keep my eyes on one day at a time.

I really like the new Freestyle program. There are a lot of free foods and it really does encourage healthy eating. I've eaten a lot of fruit, eggs, tuna, salad and chicken. There's certainly no reason to go hungry on this program. One of my favorite treats right now is pineapple and banana cut up together.

Tonight for dinner we had Mexican Skillet Chicken. It is almost a zero point meal. The only thing I had to count was the cheese. This is a super simple and quick meal. My family really likes it too.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of cauliflower rice
• 2 small bags of chicken breast fajita strips
• 1 can of petite diced tomatoes
• 2 envelopes of taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

• Steam cauliflower rice in microwave (following directions on the bag). 
• In a large skillet add cauliflower rice, chicken, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning and chicken broth.
• Stir well to combine and bring to a boil.
• Turn down to a simmer and allow to cook for 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle with cheese and let melt

I hope this week's weigh-in goes as well as last week. I'm anxious to see results. I'm afraid if I don't lose I will lose my motivation and I seriously can't afford to fail this time. It's not just about losing weight, it's about getting healthy and feeling better. I want to be able to breath again.

I will be checking back in soon, hopefully with good news. Till then, God bless! :)
