So I just made the giant leap to posting my own blog. I have been truly inspired by Crockpot Lady at crockpot365.blogspot.com. She is funny, charming, and has amazing recipes. Who doesn't love that? Anyway, I have decided to post my weight loss efforts, healthy cooking attempts, and my overall mommy journey for all to see. Feel free to post your own thoughts, successes, and failures.
Here is my plan for the week:
Thursday (last night): Fillet of Mahi with Pesto
Friday: Taco Soup - picture above
Saturday: Margarita Chicken
Sunday: Asian Shredded Pork
Monday: Pork Soft Tacos made with leftover roast from the night before
Tuesday: Baked Ziti
Wednesday: Minestrone
Now, my New Year's resolutions are the following:
To post daily to the blog.
To use the crockpot at least 3 times a week. (I would love to write 5, but I'd hate to see myself get frustrated if I don't meet the challenge.)
To make meatless dinners at least twice a week.
My first recipe review is on the Mahi from last night. It was freaking amazing!! It might be one of the best fish dishes I have ever eaten. It was soooo super simple to make. (Less than 5 minute prep time.) And, the biggie.... my husband, an avid fish hater, really liked it. He even ate an extra 1/2 serving. My 3 1/2 year old also ate at least 4 oz. Unbelievable!! Even my incredibly finicky cat ate some! Seriously, I couldn't be more in love with this dish and the Crockpot lady. Please visit her site and give her some love!
Also, I have lost 5.8 lbs on Weight Watchers so far. I am starting my 5th week. I won't get to weigh in until Saturday, so keep your fingers crossed. I am currently 208.4 lbs. I feel like i did pretty good this week, considering I had several Christmas dinners since my last weigh in. But, my Christmas Day meals were all WW recipes. :)
Here's to a healthy New Year for all!

Hi, Laura! Love the blog!! Your mahi sounds delish; I will def have to try it. WW is the ONLY way I have ever been successful losing weight - I love how you can eat anything (just smaller amounts)! Anyway, I've done it 3 times; losing 25, 42, and currently 45 lbs and still counting...hopefully!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog and I will definitely check out the crockpot meals! I love using the crockpot, it's so nice to have dinner taken care of early and not have to rush around dinner time. Congrats on losing weight, it has been hard for me after the second child but I'm finally getting closer to normal! We have to get together soon!
