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 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 days 4-6 Feb 20-22

Daniel Fast Meal Plan: Days 4‐6 (Feb 20-22) Note: The recipes for the first few days of the fast focused more on detoxifying the body and thus it was necessary to allow the smoothie and the soup to do just that in the body. The next three days focus more on enjoying the complexity and vibrancy of some of the foods that God intended for us to enjoy. As you prepare the meals, allow your heart and mind to enjoy the discovery of creating something new. You will discover that there is a complex unity that emerges as you taste, what may be, new combinations for you and new textures. Even if it is unfamiliar to you, I encourage you to think of each meal as a culinary adventure and be willing to take the risks. My hope is that you will find a new joy in preparing and eating the range of healthy, colorfully vibrant and completely nutritious meals from God’s garden. Breakfast for Days 4‐6: Fig & Banana Smoothie, Pecans (1/2 cup) Fig & Banana Smoothie (Serves 1)  1 Banana (chopped)  4 ...
