Get up, get up, get up, its the first of the month....

As promised here is the king ranch chicken recipe. It yields about 6 servings and it is 7 points.

1 can rotel
1 can fat-free cream of chicken ( if you can find a low sodium version too, even better!)
3 chicken breasts, diced and browned
6 corn tortillas
4 oz skim mozzarella cheese shredded
Onion- diced & sauteed
1C corn kernels

Add COC, chicken, rotel, onion and corn in a bowl, mix togther. Pour half the mixture into a baking dish that is sprayed with non fat cooking spray. Cut up three of the tortillas and cover first layer. Pour on the remaning mixture and place the remaining three cut up tortillas on top, then spread the cheese over the dish. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.

The meeting went well today. I was down 1 pound even. Ill take it, I want that 10% keychain fiercely. I REALLY, REALLY want it. Grrr. Eye of the tiger baby. Heres what I walked away with today, not the quote on the board rather something that was said. "is not about when you fall down, it is if you chose to get up". We have bad days, bad weeks bad hair days, bad kid days, bad work days and every day we wake up and get to start fresh, with a new attitude. We should apply this same sentiment to our weight loss goals. We should not scold ourselves for being "bad" or go on a binger because of the potential "damage" we have already done. We should give ourselves a break and start the new day by getting up, starting again with a fresh mind and clear perspective. Every day can potentially be the first of the month.

I went the gym as I told myself I would. I love the gym, and really dont know why I filled myself with excuses as to not go. That was lame. First sign telling me that it was lame when the sweet lady at the door noticed that Id had been gone for, well, a while. She said "nice to see you back, its been a long time!" Yeah, thanks lady. I know. I was planning on going in and maybe getting on the elliptical for a bit, knowing darn good and well my step class was going on at the same time. I went to the dressing room and I hear her....I turn around and there is my super lovely step instructor. Nice, there is no hiding now. She tells me how great it is to see me and that today will be awesome since I'm back in her class, and how she was bummed that the weather was bad but is so excited I'm back...Um..okay. So the next thing I knew I was red faced and sweating like crazy, loving every single one of the those "three knee repeaters". Woot woot. Im back.
I also ran my 2.25 miles today. I feel good, I will become an athlete if it kills me.

And it just may.
