185.4/baby/bacon chicken/skin so soft/food

ok  my weight just goes up down up down only a few ounces but still,  I want it to go in the down way every day.
I did not exercise because baby was here again but the good news is I did get in 6264 steps today.  Son in law came last night and took baby home/  He and dd were both hoping that baby would feel better and they could send him to kindergarten today.  BUT no such luck, he still ran a feverand so he came back to me this morning.  I had a lot of laundry to do and I worked in the house and I took care of the baby so the steps mounted. 

Iworked at curves for about 6 months once.  I learned a lot of things but one of the main things I learned was you burn more calories when your muscles is well trained.  When you exercise you build muscle and then when you move even cleaning house you burn even more calories than you would if you were not building your muscle.  I did not say that very good, but basically every movement counts, so I  try to move a lot.

I tried a new recipe today and it was delicious,  it is bacon chicken
Here is the recipe

Bacon Chicken

6 slices of bacon
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion chopped
1 Tablespoon garlic powder or flakes
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp pepper (or to taste)
1 and 1/2 cups shredded chedder cheese

1 Cook bacon in 12 inch shillet until crisp

2 crumble bacon and set aside

3 Pour bacon grease out of pan and discard, do not wipe or wash pan

4 Add butter and Olive oil to pan

5 Saute Chicken breasts in the mixture over medium heat turning once, until chicken breasts are done maybe eight  to ten minutes

6 Place chicken in baking pan

7 Cook onion and garlic in drippings that are in the skillet cook until onion is softened. Stir in salt pepper and crumbled bacon

8 Spoon mixture over chicken breasts and sprinkle with cheese

9. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

This is yummy and I know that it is a little higher in calories but it is doable if I do not over doable (lol).


When son in law came and got the baby  (he is much better now and I finally got him to eat 1 strip of bacon I wiped all the grease off of it, and a little grits and cheese.  Not much but at least it was something) I took a skin so soft bath,   what luxury to be in that huge garden tub with that sweet scent coming around me.  Now my skin feels so soft and I love the scent.  I love being able to do something special for me and taking a long luxurious bath always makes me feel like a queen.  When I finish here I have to go back to being Cinderella before she met her prince charming, and clean my kitchen.  But I did love my few minutes.

My food for today, not in any particular order

veggie omelet
collards
black eyed peas

My calories  were close to 1500.  My exercise had to be put on a shelf this week because of the baby being here.  That is all right.,,, grandma's are supposed to be there for there grandchildren.  Tomorrow I will get back into it.  I will walk probably around 9 am and then again around noon. I love it when I get to do an extra walk.  Dh is tearing out a kitchen for someone this week and he is so exhausted each day that I have not nagged him about exercising with me.  He is probably getting plenty of exercise.

Sleep well everyone
God bless
