John 6:35
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
Lord I ask you to be my bread of life. Fill the void so I will no longer use food to fill those empty places of my heart. Go into the inner places of my heart and heal me.Amen

Weighing In
I weighed in this morning at 298, last week's weight was 297. Honestly glad I didn't gain more weight. With the holidays and everything ate more than I should have.(smile) Have a great weekend.

What's Weighing You Down?
If you been following my blog you may have noticed I haven't been losing weight. The scale has been going in the opposite position.(smile) It has been discouraging which makes me want to just overeat. It helps to be able to share my feelings with my readers. I hope you can relate with my struggle and know you aren't alone. We will get there. Never lose hope. So I may have missed it yesterday but it's a new day. I will keep pushing forward.
Healthy Recipes
Chicken Paillards with Herb-Tomato Salad
From: Food Network
2 ripe medium tomatoes (1 red and 1 yellow), cored and roughly chopped (about1 1/2 cups)
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 scallion (white and green parts), thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup torn fresh basil
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh tarragon
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 chicken paillards, about 6 ounces each (see chef's note, below)
Prepare an outdoor grill with a hot fire.
Toss the tomatoes, garlic, scallion, the 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Add all the herbs to the bowl but don't toss.
Brush the chicken paillards lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Grill the chicken, turning once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Stir the herbs into the tomatoes. Put a paillard on each of 4 plates, spoon some herb-tomato salad on top (watch out for the smashed garlic-you might want to remove it), and serve.

Healthy Tips
Let's talk about habits. We all have them, some good and some not so good.(smile) According to research it takes twenty one days to develop a habit. How about for the next twenty one days we form a healthy habit. It doesn't have to be anything big. Remember small changes add up to big ones. I will have fruit or vegetable with each meal for the next twenty one days.
I've listed some examples of healthy habits you may consider:
1)Don't eat after 8pm
2)Keep a food diary
3)Exercise for fifteen minutes daily.
4)Drink water, herbal tea, or juice instead of soda pop.
5)Go to bed by 10pm each night.
6)Eat air-popped popcorn instead of chips.
7)Take the stairs instead of elevator.
8)Drink a glass of water every hour.
