I have been trying (well sort of) to lose weight for a while now with no change. Actually I have gained a little since I started. So I challenged my friend Amy to a challenge today! We are currently at the same weight and we have the same goal weight. So we are ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!! Her reward for reaching her goal is a tummy tuck and mine is a boob job! So we have decided that we will work hard so that we both reach our goal and recieve our reward and re-coop together. So every Wednesday, I will have my Wednesday Weigh In and post a good healthy recipe to try that week.
I don't want to starve myself, but I want to eat something of value.
So here is this weeks recipe, try it if you would like!Let me know what you think.
