Hey ladies , Sorry i was gone most of last week due to friends in town .
Just want to see how everyone did this week on the challenge ? I'm not going to lie i only weighed in and did the emontion part. Ugh i feel very bad but i'll work extra hard next week and doing my workout stuff today for sure. Hoping to go for a walk/jog but it's 108 here today. But i'm betting i didn't lose any weight since we ate out everyday they were here. My hubby and I said no more eating out for like a month lol.... Well hope you ladies are having a great week.

Per Serving: 360 54 3 32 650 19


* Note- Get the rice cooking before you start the beans or kabobs, as it will take the longest to cook.

Rice:
Add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of Brown Basmati Rice to pot and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, cover and reduce heat to low and Simmer for 35 minutes. When done, fluff with fork and serve.

Green Beans:
spray sautee pan with PAM (turn stovetop heat to medium-low)
coarsely chop Garlic and add to pan. When the garlic starts to "sweat" and the aroma fills the room, then add the beans and turn the heat upto medium. Add a dash of Sea salt and pepper to taste. Continue to stir the beans until cooked. (10 minutes)
(please note that the beans are fresh and not steamed or cooked before adding to the pan, that way they will still have that healthy crunch, but still cook through).

Kabobs:
defrost chicken and cube into 1" pieces.
cut fresh pineapple and cube into 1" pieces
Marinate both the chicken and the pineapple in the teriyaki sauce.
cube onion
Take skewer and skew chicken, tomato, pineapple, and onion.
Grill at 400 degrees, basting with left over sauce every time you turn the kabob, until done. (about 6-8 minutes)

*Serve Rice with the beans and a skewered kabob ontop. YUM! Also, a delicious twist is to chop the beans once they are done and add to the rice. It gives the rice the salt and flavor without having to add butter. Increase quantities as needed. Enjoy!

Just a heads up, I'll be on to do my weigh in tomorrow morning, and track my food and exercise. But I'm going camping first thing Thursday morning - late Friday (maybe Saturday) so there is no reception so I won't be on (or tracking my food/exercise) and I know it's gonna be junk food and booze (little sister's 21st birthday!) Kind of dreading it, because I know tomorrow I am going to be most likely ounces away from getting back in the 140s and I'm sure that I will gain weight camping
