Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone is having an awesome day. I have some exciting news to share with everyone. It has been a VERY long time since I've posted on this platform, and I thought I would give everyone an update.
Life has been going great! I have a job that I absolutely love, I'm almost finished with school, I now own my own business, and I'm starting to get healthy. I know that was a lot to take in, and I will be updating everyone very soon on each aspect of my life. For now, I wanted to tell everyone about just one aspect.
I'm starting to get healthy. For real this time.
You know it's bad when you have to add in the disclaimer. *For real this time.* I have lived a very unhealthy life for most of my life. I finally just got fed up with it and decided to make some real changes, and lifelong ones at that. Because I'm so unhealthy there are a lot of things wrong with how I'm currently living. I didn't eat hardly any veggies or fish, my portion sizes were huge, and I snacked A LOT. I also didn't exercise, and my sleep schedule is nonexistent. I just began to have a very negative outlook on life, and pretty much everything around me. It was time for a change. Luckily for me, I found a great start.
I joined Weight Watchers, again. A couple years ago, I had joined Weight Watchers with a few girls I worked with. It was great! I naturally had a support system because they were doing it as well. Then life got crazy, I changed jobs, and I fell off the wagon. I had always wanted to start it again, but never made it a priority.
My boss at my new current job had been doing it for a few months, and it worked great for her. I loved seeing how happy she was doing it, so after her begging me for a month. I decided to join! One of our other coworkers decided to do it with us, and spoiler alert-it's been amazing. In the first couple weeks alone I dropped about 5 pounds. Although that's great, that's not the main reason I decided to join. I just wanted to feel my best. I feel significantly SOOO much better than before. It feels like my body had a hard reset, and now it's functioning a lot better than ever before.
In honor of me starting again, I thought that I would start a new tradition. Whenever I give an update on my way to a healthy life. I have to give everyone a healthy recipe. This first recipe is one my boss gave me when I first started Weight Watchers. I call it "Feisty Chicken."
Yup, you read that right, "Feisty Chicken."
1 pound of Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast or Thighs
2 Cups of Fat Free Chicken Broth
1 Ranch Seasoning Packet
1 Taco or Fajita Seasoning Packet
Pour the chicken broth into a crock pot, and dump both seasoning packets in there. Mix it all together. Then add the chicken in. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. When finished shred the chicken, and BOOM! Feisty Chicken! It tastes like you just ordered it from a Mexican Restaurant. Its amazing! You can eat it in a variety of ways! You can add pico, and cheese, and put it over lettuce for an awesome salad. You can put it in Tupperware and take it to work (my personal choice), or add it to a tortilla. The possibilities are endless.
I personally will add more chicken than just 1 pound. But you can add however much you want, or keep it the same. For the original recipe it serves 2 people. Since I cook for just myself, I split it in half, and take it to work for lunch twice a week. I heat it up and eat that, then have fruit, and come cheese cubes with it, and I'm full.
Try it out and let me know how you guys like it! I hope you guys have an awesome day, and I'll talk to you guys soon!
