Weight loss weekly update #2

Week one -4lbs
Week two -0lbs

No weight loss this week, I'm not worried about it though. Our grocery trip was greatly delayed, I didn't end up going shopping until 2 days ago! So I will be skipping the menu plan this week. I will have one next Friday. I got a Wii Fit a few days ago and have been working out on it for an hour a day. My girls love it too, they're only 4 and 2 but it's cute! My 4 year old has always loved running, so she does great on that one! I'm sure I'm gaining muscle since I hardly ever worked out before! Come on before babies body! Almost 2 months left until my only sibling's wedding!

Honey Glazed Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

Honey-Glazed Chicken Stir-Fry

Ingredients
- 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 tbsp water
- 4 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 4 cups frozen stir fry vegetables- thawed and drained
- hot cooked brown rice


1. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Cut chicken into thin strips; set aside. For sauce, in a small bowl stir together honey, vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, and cornstarch; set aside.

2. Pour cooking oil into a wok or a large skillet. (Add more oil as necessary during cooking.) Preheat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry frozen vegetables for 3 minutes or till vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from wok. Add chicken to hot wok. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or till chicken is no longer pink. Push chicken from the center of the wok. Stir sauce; add to center of the wok. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.

3. Return cooked vegetables to wok. Stir all ingredients together to coat. Cook and stir about 1 minute more or till heated through. If desire, serve immediately over rice or couscous.

Clearance obsession

I have to admit I have a clearance obsession. Nothing crappy though. I only like high priced items that are on good clearance. I bought my Graco Snugride car seat and stroller frame last year for $36 from Target!! Huge bargain. The other day I went to Babiesrus to trade in my 2 year old's car seat for a smaller one to fit into our new Jeep Cherokee, they were having a deal where you trade in your old car seat for a new one and get 25% off! Well I saw another couple looking at the old car seat I had that I was going to trade in. Long story short, I ended up selling my 2 year old's car seat to that couple for $40 and trading in my 4 year old's old car seat instead. So, I got an awesome Eddie Bauer high back deluxe car seat for $35, normal price $100. Woo hoo! Today I got a new pots and pans set, Paula Dean 10 piece from Walmart 1/2 off for $60! Love getting good deals! The only downer is that they're not dishwasher safe, but if you want your pots and pans to stay beautiful for a long time you have to hand wash them anyways. Had to share!

Diet week 2 update and menu plan

I lost 4 lbs this last week! Yeah! I didn't stick to a very strict diet except for the dinner menu plan. It was all extremely good! My kids even ate every meal without too much complaining. I found it cheaper to buy healthy meals than to buy the typical unhealthy meals. Here is my menu plan for this next week. If anyone is interested in any recipes, let me know. I will post them on here.

Saturday- Garlic Lime Chicken with Pepper Parmesan Green Beans
Sunday- Gyros, made with sliced steak, fat free cucumber sauce, whole wheat rice and whole wheat pitas
Monday- Chicken eggplant Casserole
Tuesday- Whole Wheat Spaghetti with zucchini and ground beef
Wednesday- Chicken and Shrimp Satay with Savory Peanut Dipping Sauce
Thursday- Pork Tenderloin with Asparagus
Friday- Chicken & Spinach Pasta Bake
