Chicken Tacos w/Homemade Slaw....#thatsurthurty

Had the taste for Tacos but didn't want any Beef so I went with Chicken and Homemade Slaw that consists of; Green Cabbage, Red Cabbage, Carrots, Honey Mustard and Thousand Island Dressing. I eat what I want in moderation. The calorie intake is low.......

1 Fried Chicken leg/no skin/no coating 119 cal

2 small flour tortillas(90 x2) 180 cal

Vegetables 0 cal

Honey Mustard Dressing (1 serving) 90 cal

Thousand Island Dressing(1 serving) 100 cal....Total 489 calories.

The bonus with this is I can eat the Slaw alone as I have plenty left over in the fridge. Also, I washed it down with Hibiscus Tea. Eat to Live. #thatsurthurty

Zucchini Breakfast.....#thatsurthurty

I have come to love vegetables and eat them for every meal. For my breakfast and post workout meal I'm having Zucchini with a touch of Mushroom Soy Sauce. The Tortilla's are substitutes for any type of bread, although I eat flour Tortillas on occasion.

I braised the Zucchini, not fully frying or steaming them in efforts not to deplete the Zucchini of the benefits it provides; heart, digestion, and eye health, aides in weight loss. And yes, I have noticed an improvement in all these areas. I washed it down with a Tea that consists of; Ginger, Lemon, Tumeric, and Clove Honey. All juiced except for the Honey of course😉. Be healthy. Be Encouraged......#thatsurthurty

Broccoli & Onions....#thatsurthurty

Had a serious taste for Broccoli & Onions so what did I do?.....made a run to the Grocery Store and invaded my now favorite section of the store; Produce. I had to get the frozen this time as the store was out of fresh Broccoli.

I made due and it taste great. I didn't fully fry them as I didn't want to burn out the nutrients. I cooked it just long enough get the mixture tender, and yes, Delicious!. As of today I'm 32lbs down from the nearly 300lbs I was oh so close to, and it's in part to how I've changed the way I eat incorporated with a disciplined exercise regimen. It's a process. I'm a process in the works, doing the work. #thatsurthurty

Vegetable Samosa....#thatsurthurty

I fell in love with Samosa about 3yrs ago. There are 3 kind my taste buds have been introduced to; Beef, Chicken and Vegetable. Vegetable is what you see pictured here. I only eat 2 at a time as according to the calorie counter I use is 260 each, so I have to be careful with my intake.

Whichever Samosa I eat, its alone and washed down with a Tea. On this day I'm having Ginger Tea, Ginger that I juiced, not the juice in the store. That juice is tampered with of additives and sugars. That defeats the purpose of having a healthy Tea that's working for your body as opposed of working against it.

I keep a log of all that I eat and drink. Keeping track is crucial for me as I'm still learning what works for me in regards to burning calories and weight management. Keeping a log is something that I was always against until I noticed the scale wasn't either moving, or going up instead of down, so I disciplined myself to log daily. It is a great help.

I encourage all who read this to discipline yourself in all you do, especially your health. #thatsurthurty
