    I made this tonight for my little guy and he loved it so thought I would make it my recipe:

    Black Beans
    Corn
    Tomato
    mix together and heat

    Brown Rice
    Fresh Spinich(cut small)
    Green Onion

    Add the spinich and onion in when you add the rice to cook

    Lean Ground beef (just a little)
    Chedder Cheese
    Whole wheat tortilla

    **I mixed it all for him and gave him a half tortilla and he ate it up!

    **I have to look into how many calories this in I will add that later.

    I'm gonna make this for my son tonight! Except with ground chkn instead of ground beef

    He loved it! Thanks for sharing!!

    I am so excited that he liked it and it was super easy and inexpensive. It's funny because I was going to try to find some cool recipe online but then though this recipe was great! Funny how I complicate things some times!

    Emotional challenge:

    Let's see...why am I heavy...well my kids of course! I mean yes, I really did gain a ton of weight when I was pregnant, but I really never did too much to really get rid of it. With my 1st I gained exactly 100 pounds, was 102 when I got pregnant and was 202 when i went to deliver him. Then I lost a bit...was about half, which a bunch of my family and friends said i looked better having some weight on me than when i was super small but i still wasn't 'conten't" but then got preggo again and gained about 50 pounds and then really didn't lose much after he was born and got preggo again and gained almost 30 pounds. and well...I'm DONE having babies...that excuse is no more! i am making a new me! I am not going to 'blame' my kids anymore. I can only blame myself now. And I do not want that anymore. I want to be able to enjoy my kids!!!

    Love your response and I am so glad you are here with us! I can't believe you were only 102 at one time! That is sooo thin! I too want to be able to enjoy my son and do anything and everything he wants to do.

    Wednesday Weigh Ins:

    Starting: 261
    Starting SAHMU: 241
    Week 5: 230.6
    Weekly +/- : -2lbs
    Total +/- : -30.4lbs!
    Goal: Did not acheieve my goal to kiss the 230s goodbye this week. Still, lost 2 lbs, so that's great. I'm a little disappointed because this loss did accomplish my goal of losing 30lbs, but I fee like that is tarnished by that stupid .7lb more I needed to lose to weigh in at 229.9. That would have been great! But alas, it was not to be. So my goal for this week is to keep working hard and see that number drop below 230. More importantly, I felt really good about how hard I worked this week and I want to keep feeling like that, so regardless of the number on the scale, my real goal is to exercise every moment I am able.
