Tuesday Jan 30th

Well today I had to check out the check book and yeah I am freaking out. Hubby won't work for another 2 weeks. Then he won't get paid for another week or two. Its sometimes scary. I know that God takes care of us but I would love to be finically secure. Knowing that the money will be there and being able to buy what ever. To just get ahead. We are so in debt and I don't see any way out of it. I wish I could. I rack my brain for Ideas about making money and all I get is alot of wasted thinking. I have so many places I want to go and see and I want to be able to build a house and have nice furniture and nice kitchen appliances. Not expensive but something nice. Not the hand me downs or the second hand stores. Just to be able to go to the mall and actually pick out an outfit without worry about how to pay a bill next week. My son goes to college in four years and I won't be able to help him. Hell I have my own student loan and I can't even begin to make payments on that. I think what pisses me off any more is not being able to buy health insurance for my husband and kid cause it would take my whole check and now that my husband bills have come in we will owe over $10,000.00 all because I make just $12.00 an hour. WTF there has to be something better then this. There Has to BE!!!!!!

Anyone got any ideas? Other then the get rich scehems that sees to be out there all over!

Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

SUBMITTED BY: Crystal

"Ever tried chicken enchiladas made with cottage cheese? Now's your chance! This takes some prep time, but it is well worth it. You can make it 1 day ahead, and serve the next day."

Original recipe yield:
6 servings

PREP TIME	30 Min
COOK TIME	30 Min
READY IN	1 Hr

PHOTO BY: NEWLY WED

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - boiled and shredded
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
• 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup fat free sour cream
• 2 cups fat free cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded fat free Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. To Make Meat Mixture: Heat oil in medium skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, onion and green chile peppers and saute until browned, then add taco seasoning and prepare meat mixture according to package directions.
2. To Make Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl mix sour cream with cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper; stir until well blended.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. To Assemble Enchiladas: Heat tortillas until soft. In each tortilla place a spoonful of meat mixture, a spoonful of cheese mixture and a bit of shredded cheese. Roll tortillas and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with any remaining meat and cheese mixture, enchilada sauce and remaining shredded cheese.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly

This is the breakdown without substituting the fat free sour cream, cottage cheese and cheese.

Inspiration

I always wanted to inspire people to see the potenial in themselves. But First I needed to do that with myself before I can help others. I have been making changes in my diet and excerise for the past three weeks. Others are beginning to follow. My good friend Dot has started coming to weight lifting classes with me. Now a coworker is going to join the gym with me and start going to the classes too. My hubby, well he has always said he wanted to join the gym but never done it. I think he is for real this time. He is really watching what he eats as well.

In the mean time, I have had not ate Chocolate for 21 days.

Miracles happen every where I turn.

I am going to really get on bored this week, eating clean! Working harder at the gym. I am going to go to the Expo in Columbus, OH. I want to look great when I go. Last night I watched Body Works by Bill Phillips and what inspiration that was. Just watching that made you want to go the gym even though it was 11:30 at night.

Yoga Journal Daily Email

Just wanted to share

Happy in Your Own Skin

Yoga, unlike other physical activities, emphasizes self-acceptance, which is something that's largely missing for those of us who dislike our bodies. The program in our heads—I'm not pretty enough, thin enough, tall enough—builds in volume over years until it's practically the only radio station playing. Odd as it seems, the vessel that keeps us alive, that nourishes us, begins to get nothing but our scorn in return.

Yoga isn't a miracle. But it does allow us to recognize the miracle we inhabit, to move from a world that emphasizes physical beauty and ideal body shapes into one that teaches us to honor the power our body offers.

Weekend

I ate really good this weekend. I made this new soup and it Rocked. My hubby even liked it. Stayed in thru the weekend cuase of ice. I can't wait till this weather will be over with. I made a Banana Cream Pie

Today is an OFF Day

Okay I started my day off wrong and it ahs gone down hill with the food since then.

I went to Walmart with my kid this morning and we each got a doughnut. (Not chocolate)
Then it is fat Thursady here at work and I had a bite of what ever they brought. Just 4 different things. My old habit was to eat a plateful and then take a plateful to my desk. I walked away. But down in our department is that dang heart candy and I bet I have had 20 pieces today. At lunch I did eat a small salad and a lean cusine 280 cal dinner. I then went back upstairs and had more dessert. The one good thing was the one I had was eating is a weight watchers cake. 3 points. I am so full but I feel like I have fallen off the wagon. I have to go to Springfield tonight to get Vinny some contacts and so I will be eating out. No work out today!

Angel Food Pineapple cake

Use Angel food cake mix that you use water only in.
then a whole can of pineapple with juice.
Mix the two together and bake. (Don't add the water the juice from the pineapple will be the water)
Then you just put FF or Reduced Fat Whip Cream for the frosting.

Oh my Goodness it is heaven and only 3 points a slice.
