Back In Action!

Hello Everyone!
I know it has been a while since my last post.... almost a year actually! :S But I am back and better than ever!! ;)

I want to try something and see how well I do with it... As many of you know I have done a "Clean Eating" diet in the past and got great results from it. Well I know myself and lets face it, I love me some food! So the chances of me clean eating myself through the rest of my life are pretty slim to none.... especially with a husband who is rather particular about what he likes etc. Which is why I have decided keep clean eating in mind when making meals but not to be so rigid about it. I like to call it "Good Intentioned Eating." :) As its name suggest it is going to be a "do what I can" kinda plan. What I am trying this week is I am using "Clean" recipes and making them more practical for me and my family. Here is what I am trying tonight:

Here is the original Recipe I am using and below are my changes:

Spinach Chicken Sausage Pizza

• Instead of chicken sausage I used a couple chicken breasts that I pan fried in olive oil and some garlic salt and a few other spices for some flavor.
• The recipe calls for whole wheat thin pizza crust and instead I used wheat pitas (they make individual size pizzas).
• For the cheese I just used Sargento four cheese Mexican since that's pretty much the only shredded cheese we buy. 

For dessert I made Soda Pop Cake.... easiest thing ever!!! :) I just bought a generic cake mix and poured a can of diet coke in it and followed the regular cooking directions. Delicious!! And because I used Diet Coke there are no added calories.... However, I'm sure the chocolate frosting and sprinkles I covered it with took up all those saved calories and then some.... again I had good intentions! :)

I have a few more recipes to use this week and I will post how the results turn out as well. I am going to be busting out my good ole Tae Bo dvds this week too to get my butt in gear.... This last 10 lbs of post baby weight is hanging on for dear life and I am bound and determined to send it packing!! :D Wish me luck!!
