Exiting Times in Cary, NC

Ok well not really exciting. Pretty normal routine around here lately. Except for my healthier eating. I'm progressing! I'm making healthier choices every day and have found quite a few new foods that I like that I never had before. I love trying new recipes and making my own up!

I have my first weigh in on Sunday and I am hoping to have lost 3lbs. We'll see. I feel a lot healthier though and despite what the scale says I'll keep moving along! I am determined to get healthier and off of my medicines.

I set two resolutions for myself for 2013

#1- to put $25 from each paycheck into my savings account. So far I am on track, two weeks in!  Putting it there is easy but keeping it there is hard. I am determined though.

#2-to keep my car clean. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is nearly impossible. I practically live out of my car! It's been cold here so I haven't had a chance to clean it out yet but I plan to do so this Sunday. It's going to be 70 here!

Annnnd, that's about it!

I will share one recipe that I really enjoyed!

I used 1 tsp of olive oil and sautéed about 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic for a minute or two.
Add in 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
Add in 1 can of Rotel, whatever heat you like. I like the mild or medium
Add in 1 cup of frozen corn
Add in some onions, chopped. As much as you like!
Cook it all until the ingredients are cooked through

Serve over brown rice with some fat free cheese and fat free sour cream on top!

DELICIOUS!!

You could also add some peppers if you wanted!

It's full of protein from the beans but here is no meat! I highly recommend you try it!
