Thursday Thirteen--Things on my mind

Thirteen Things On TC's Mind I have been feeling really good about myself but today I am feeling like I have so much further to go. A lot of the new grains I have been trying taste very similar. So I am going to pick a couple of the less expensive ones and stick to those. I have been concentrating on getting all my water. It isn't that hard if I start earlier in the day. I have been eating oatmeal for breakfast with all different things in it. So far my favorite is apple, apple sauce, and cinnamon. mmmm . . . . yummy. I am loving couscous. I love how fast it is. Prince Charming isn't as fond of the grains as I am. So sometimes, I will make him french fries and have the grains for myself. I have to cut him a little break. Little Princess is liking the meats and some of the veggies, but she doesn't really like the grains either. Baby steps I guess I love salads lately. I add a little of whatever healthy stuff is in my fridge. It makes it yummy and different every time. I call this my kitchen sink salad. I made terriyaki today. I have a recipe which is easy, fast and diet. Roast chicken breasts (or skinless thighs) in oven for about 1/2 hour. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup soya sauce, and 1/2 cup splenda (or sugar). Continue roasting until chicken is cooked and sauce is bubbling. Eat with grains, rice, fries whatever you like. This absolutely fabulous. It is family favorite. I love Our Compliments No Meat Hamburgers. They are yummy and taste like real burgers! I had two with fat free cheese and corn for my supper tonight. It was what I was craving and it was yummy! I have been having a lot of smoothies too. I mix 1/2 cup apple sauce, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, splenda to taste, 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup frozen fruit. I blend it with my hand blender and get a lovely large yummy smoothie! I am thinking of skipping as a form of exercise. I am a little nervous of my knees. I hope it doesn't make them hurt. But it is a fabulous form of exercise that takes no equipment and burns an obscene amount of calories. I got digital cable today and I am thrilled. I watched X-Weighted and I taped Biggest Loser. I love having all these options. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! Tug Tinker KaY amy Silver Carmen Barbara Christina Chaotic Mom baggage ribbiticus InterstellarLass N.
