Thank you Pinterest! Low calorie dinner and satisfaction for my sweet tooth!

Aside from taking my Skinny Fiber, I am working on changing my eating habits. Thanks to pinterest, finding ideas for recipes is easy!! So last night I made turkey chili and Low fat cheesecake!

Here are some pics and the recipes!

·        2 lbs ground turkey, extra lean or 1.5 lb leftover cooked turkey, chopped

·        3 garlic cloves, crushed
·        2 large onions, diced
·        4 large celery stalks, chopped
·        3 large bell peppers, chopped
·        14 oz can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
·        14 oz can any white beans, drained & rinsed
·        28 oz can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
·        2 cups water or low sodium chicken broth
·        1 tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced or to taste
·        1 tbsp chili powder
·        1 tbsp taco seasoning, all natural
·        1/2 tsp salt
·        1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
·        Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Directions

1.      Preheat large skillet on high and add ground turkey. Cook until brown, stirring and breaking into small pieces with spatula, occasionally. Transfer to a large crockpot. If using leftover cooked turkey, skip the browning step.
2.      Return skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add garlic, onion, celery, bell peppers and saute for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a slow cooker.
3.      Add remaining ingredients to slow cooker, cover and cook 8 hours on Low or 4 hours on High. Reduce cooking time to 5 hours on Low and 3 hours on High, if using cooked turkey. Serve hot.

Taking the first steps....

Taking the first steps to loosing weight isn't easy, Its damn hard. My daughter is going to be 4 in August, and I have been overweight since her birth, and I am FINALLY doing something about it.
The first thing I had to do was accept how I got here. After Kaylee was born, I developed post partum depression, which lead to a lot of drinking and a lot of eating. The more depressed I was, the more I drank and ate, the more I drank and ate, the more weight I gained, making more depressed. The cycle was vicious. And for along time, I was in denial. I kept telling myself that I would stop drinking, that I would eat better, exercise. Fast forward 3 1/2 years, and here I am still overweight. Looking back over my little girls babyhood and toddlerhood, I have been in very few photos, so many moments I didn't join in for because I feeling too self conscious. It is so sad. And the ones that I was in, disgusted me. I woke up one day, after trying on everything I owned, and having to settle on a pair of my husbands sweatpants, I sat and cried. I cried for many reasons, I cried because I had no clothes that fit, I cried because of the stretch marks that occurred not from my pregnancy but from the weight after, I cried for my marriage, I cried for my daughter - what kind of example was I setting for her? And that is when I decided it was time to get off my ass, stop making excuses for myself, and make a change. I didn't know where to start. I had no energy to exercise, no will power over food. So I started doing research. After what felt like 2 months of looking at every product on the market, I purchased Skinny Fiber! They engage you in a 90 day challenge and offer you a 60 day money back guarantee, so I thought "what the hell do I have to loose?"
I started my challenge this week. They ask you to submit a before photo...

And then they had you weigh in... I cant believe I am even typing this... but I weighed in at 198lbs.  My very supportive husband took the photo for me. I am not supposed to weigh in for 7 days once starting. I started Monday 2/24/14. But, I can say that I already feel a difference. Less bloated feeling. I cant wait to see how much I loose at the end of the 90 day challenge.
So I started this blog to document my journey,  and maybe inspire someone else to take their first steps. I will also post recipes and health tips I learn and use along the way. Please feel free to leave a comment, ask questions, I am open to anything but negativity, I let my own stand in my way long enough.

Check out skinny fiber for yourself. Take the 90 day challenge...
you have nothing to loose but the weight!
