    Weighed in for the first time in about a month and I am up 1.5 lbs. My official starting weight is 145 for the shred. I'm really motivated to be doing the 30 day shred, I hope this motivation continues for the whole 30 days!! I really wanna complete it on my first try because Id love to see the results it gives. I am also doing other exercise along with it so the results wont just be from the shred.

    I was wondering where everyone was as well! I hope we didnt loose people.. we need to stay strong together, because this challenge is only halfway done (right? we are doing 16 weeks?)

    raindancer - I just assumed you made a typo :P since I know muscle helps burn fat!! It might be 1.5 of fat though since I did go to a chinese buffet (all you can eat), and didnt work out as much as I had been before, especially last week cause I was sick. But I like the positivity.. yes it was muscle lol

    trying a new food or new recipe sounds great. Eating the same things all the time can get boring. My daughter made a chicken and asparagus stirfry that I think I will try. It had chicken broth, garlic, soy sauce, terriki sauce, and corn starch in it, with the chicken and asparagus cut into bite size pieces. I am going to try it this weekend. YUM

    Interesting recipes.. I am thinking of trying the salsa chicken this weekend (Saturday perhaps)

    Not sure which recipe yet..

    Salsa chicken.

    2 pounds of chicken breasts
    1 large jar of salsa
    1 can of whole corn kernels, drained
    1 can of black beans, drained

    put the chicken and salsa in the crockpot, cook on low for about six to seven hours.
    a half hour before, add the corn and black beans.
    Sometimes i serve it in either a whole wheat soft tortilla or i'll use the flatout wraps.


    Salsa Chicken
    3-4 chicken breats in crock pot
    dump a jar of your favorite salsa on top
    Cook on low 6-8 hours
