Start Where You Stand And Get Healthy

Over the last couple weeks I have really committed to get myself healthy, eating right and staying active. Something I've always want to do but instead would shove yummy wonderful high calorie and fatty foods into my face and love it!! Even though in those moments food was making me so happy and I love to eat but it was time for a change...
Its different for everyone but for me it is time, and it has been hard and at moments I just want to say forget it and shove 10 cookies in my face. However, my body is liking me again. I feel better and slowly my body is learning to like this new life style. I have lost 7lbs and have a little bit more to go till I can fit into my goal jeans again.
I was having a hard time doing this on my own so my wonderful husband decided it was time for him too, so we have been working on getting healthy together. Thank goodness!
First we downloaded an app "Lose it" there are many out there I am sure but I like the way this one is set up. Second we started to change what we buy to eat and really pay attention to calories and what is the best choice.
Its never to late to start and is never the wrong time to start...just start where you stand and make it happen. just remember anything that is worth doing is going to be hard at times but you are always stronger then you realize!

Here is a recipe that we through together, I am sure there is an actual recipe out there but this is what we did and it is so yummy we have it two nights in a row.

Pour Olive Oil into a large skillet, on Medium heat. Cut and wash all veggies and pour into pan. Stir occasionally. In separate pan scramble eggs (add at the end). Cook chicken in cubes in separate pan (add at end). Mix all together and enjoy. My kiddo's love this dish too!
