Lost 25 more pounds!

Hey everyone,

I haven't posted much about my weight because honestly I wasn't seeing much activity, but I decided to weigh myself today and to my surprise I had lost 25 lbs. I weighed myself a few times, at two different occasions in disbelief, but it looks like it's the real deal. I have noticed that my clothes fit a little better around my hips and thighs, which is where I carry most of my weight.
Anyway, I attribute the weight loss  to my diet over the last month. Money is tight, so I'm eating less. I've  also decided that once I get my own place again, which should be happening over the next month, I will start the green smoothie cleanse that my sister is doing. She has lost a substantial amount of weight and it has encouraged and inspired me. I'll let you know my progress, but for now I'm excited about the weight that has come off so far.
I just did a cooking class for a friend's daughter's birthday, so I'll be posting the recipe next...Chicken Parmesan!

If you like the blog be sure to share it with a friend!

Thanks,

Your Determined Chef

Daniel Fast Days 19-21

Daniel Fast Meal Plan: Days 19‐21 Note: Many of the foods you’ve tasted have been combined in different ways that you may not have had before, and this time will be no different. You may realize that you’ve got little bits of this and that left over in your fridge, freezer and pantry and now is the time to pull those things together and create some new meals. There shouldn’t be much that you’ll have to spend this time. The words God gave me as I prepared this meal plan were “nothing wasted” and that this was to be a completion and final celebration of what is remaining. Often times as God works with us, we find that there has been some pain as He’s removed some things from us, pruning in order to shape our character and cause it to flourish. Well, this meal plan is a symbol of that experience, that even when God removes things, He doesn’t waste our experiences and He makes great things out of what is left over. So, as you use your leftovers, celebrate what God has done in this fast, th...

Daniel Fast Days 16-18

 Daniel Fast Meal Plan: Days 16‐18 Note: This set of meals is a celebration of the healing you’ve experienced thus far and as a sign of greater healing to come. As you prepare these meals and enjoy the vibrancy of flavors, let that encourage what is awakening inside of you. God has incredible things in store for His bride and He’s preparing her to be a bride without spot or blemish, much in the same way that Esther was prepared to be chosen by the King. The words I can use to describe this set of meals are light richness! As you enjoy these meals you will discover a light richness in the food that is a small reflection of the richness we experience with God as we commune with Him and that comes with a light burden. May you enjoy continual communion with Him as you allow the Messiah to become fully integrated into every facet of your being. AMEN and Happy Fasting! Breakfast for Days 16‐18: Cranberry, Nut and Dried Fruit Puree (3/4 cup) and 1 Banana Cranberry, Nut and Dried Fruit Pur...

Daniel Fast for Lent

 Hello my friends! Lent is quickly approaching February 17-April 1 and I got a great idea from my mom to go through my book, Confessions for the Narrow Road and do the Daniel Fast. My book is a 40 day devotional, so it works out perfectly to go through the book for Lent. I usually do the live, online book study every Saturday at 9 am CST, however I'm taking a break from that in order to go through the book within the 40 days. It is my hope that you will join me. Instead of using Facebook Live, I will set up the sessions on Zoom, so we can have a discussion "face to face". So please email me at confessionsandbeyond@gmail.com if you want to join in. It will more than likely be at 8 am CST every day from February 17-April 1. I will let you know for sure by 2/12. So, I created recipes for a Daniel Fast in 2012 and I will post them here, we will go through the set of 21 days of recipes twice. I created recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that would repeat for 3 days and th...
