Yummy Chicken Recipe!!

So, I made this recipe tonight and it was awesome. I had it w/broccoli & cheese, and whole grain stuffing. The entire meal only totaled 6 points! (Chicken=3 pts for 4 oz, stuffing=2 pts for 1/2 cup, broccoli=0 pts for 1 cup, piece of cheese melted onto broccoli=1pt) Even if you're NOT on W.w. this is an AH-MAZE-ING (yes I spelled that wrong on purpose) Meal. Alright, go grab your pen and paper and get ready to write this down. Well, if you like chicken that is. If you don't, then you are dismissed.

What you will need:

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Four - 4 ounce skinned, boned chicken breast halves

I should point out that I used the chicken broth and honey mustard for my sauce.  It turned out so well. The honey mustard really gave it a nice flavor. I would highly recommend using that instead of regular mustard. Well, unless you're a regular mustard fanatic, then go nuts! Enjoy!

In other news, I did a ten minute workout on the elliptical tonight. It doesn't sound like much, but keeping my heart rate at 160+ for those 10 minutes really wiped me out. I was already tired and it was getting late, so I just decided 10 minutes was enough.  Of course, once I got off the elliptical I felt guilty, so I ran laps around the basement for a little while. It sounds silly, but do what you can when you can right? I even run in place once in a while! Just gotta get my body used to doing more than sitting on its booty all the time and I'll be in great shape! Only a few more days until my first weight watchers weigh in since joining. *gulp* I really don't feel like I've lost a single pound, or even a half pound. However, today I learned that I can take my pants off with the belt still on. Hopefully that counts for something. And yes, I did just stand in the bathroom and yank my pants down. They kept falling off my butt, so I was hoping that was a good sign. FINGERS CROSSED.

Peace, Love, and Strength
