Life long journey


It's one of those things I have to remind myself constantly, that this is a life long journey, I didn't gain weight over night, so I won't lose it over night. That sometimes I'll fall off the band wagon and I have to get myself going again. Sooooo since March I've failed a little more, and more each month it seems like. I tell myself "this month I'm going to do better" and that would last maybe for a day. So I'm working on little changes, as I'm getting used to my new work schedule I've decided the first major change is my eating, after all abs are built in the kitchen. So I'm trying to fix meals at home, we were eating out WAY too much! And this is coming from the girl that just a year ago was 99% clean eating! So anyway, I'm working on getting back in that place, but I need to work on recipes that aren't bland and boring so I don't give up again, but they also have to be easy. Next on my list to do is working out, I do have a coworker that wants to start working out with me, so hopefully having a workout buddy will help me stick to it better. 
And we're about to do a little remodeling of my workout room downstairs so hopefully it will be so beautiful I will want to live in there when I'm not at work lol! 
Tonight I made a new Pinterest recipe (with a few tweaks) for dinner tomorrow, I'm hoping Drew will like it. It's pretty healthy, the only change is I need to make homemade cream of something soup or buy organic, but I didn't have organic on hand or the time to make it by scratch, other then that it's all healthy. 
First I just cooked a bunch of chicken tenders in a skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, once it was cooked I diced it up and put it back in the skillet. In a pot I cooked some pasta, I cooked a LOT because I have a husband who can eat enough for 50 people lol, I drained that and added it to the chicken, using the same pot I used for the pasta I cooked some chopped up fresh broccoli, but you can use frozen. Once that was cooked I added it to the skillet, I also added a can of cream of celery soup (what I had in my cabinet), a little chicken broth, and some cheese, I stired everything together and added it to a baking dish and sprinkled a little more cheese on top, and baked for about 20 minutes.
