Magazine Clean Up Pinspiration

                                 
 From Woman's Day January 2012

This issue had some inspiring stories of women that lost over 100 pounds.
Here's one that has a blog (Healthy Strides).




It takes some big determination to be able to lose that much weight. Amazing! 
And then, because we all have to eat anyways (it's all about portion control right?) 

I actually heard someone the other day say something about how we shouldn't want to eat something that tastes good, we should just eat to live. How boring would life be is that was the case? 

Chicken and Spinach Parmesan 

.
Doesn't this look delicious? 
My kids are always whining when they see we are having chicken for dinner.

(edited to say I made this here, it's really good and easy!)

Butternut Squash Risotto

I'm pretty sure I've never eaten butternut squash. Does it just taste like zucchini?




Pasta with Roasted Cauliflower 
and Red Onions

I wonder if I'd end up eating this all by myself. 
Although Trevor does like regular cauliflower.

  1. Too funny about your kids whining about chicken -- I was just thinking today 'I hope my husband doesn't look too closely at our menu this week' because many of the meals I have planned this week are chicken meals. Oh well!

  2. I know the portion control is a huge thing- I usually use a small plate and then make myself hold back on seconds.

  3. I've lost 70 and it's so little fun. :-(
    I love food. I love good food.
    And that pasta dish lookes devine!!
    I am addicted to roasted veggies. Seriously if I could roast them every day and eat them all my self I would.

    and I'm with your kids - I too am sick of chicken. I have 35 more days on this diet and my first thing I will eat will be anything but skinless boneless chicken!!

Due to the huge amounts of Anonymous spam comments I'm going to try the verification for a bit. Sorry, I know it's annoying!
