Try try again

So I had to wait a couple days before I could attempt the 30 Day Shred DVD again. I could hardly flip a light switch on lol. Today I felt much better so I attempted it yet again. I still didn't get through it all but I feel much stronger and I am confident that I will soon be able to accomplish the whole workout soon.

My fill is coming up this Wednesday. I am very very excited. I am use to getting it done every 2 weeks and here it has been four. I feel overdue. I can't believe how little I feel since my last fill. I feel like I felt more at 5cc's than I am feeling at 5.5cc's. Isn't it funny how that happens.

I made this Southwestern style almond encrusted chicken today. It was really yummy! I pounded out the chicken and marinated it with a seasoning that is a little spicy and added about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the marinade as well. Then I ground up almonds, dipped my chicken in egg whites and then coated with almonds. I baked them for 30 minutes at 400 degrees (flipping them over at 15 minutes) and I thought it was rather tasty! Often I make things I don't end up liking but I am really trying hard now to make a sort of collection of recipes that I can pull from and I know they are good for me. If you have any recipes you would like to share with me I am all ears!!

I'll bet JennyR's turkey chili would be a good recipe. I make mine with ground turkey, 3 kinds of beans (black, chili and kidney) a chili seasoning package and a small can of tomato juice. It's kinda thick and I like it that way. Pre band, I'd eat it over brown rice with cheddar on it..oh yummy. Now just a small 1/4-1/2 cup portion is very satisfying for me. Jillian kicks my butt...every time! Good luck.

Jillian is awesome! I remember feeling that way, where you can't move you are so sore!
