New Dinner Idea

As many of you know, since I stopped nursing I am on a mission to dump this baby weight FAST. I am working out with a personal trainer 3 hours a week and doing at least 6 hours of cardio a week. Last week I worked hard and lost 5.5lbs!!! So I am eating 1,200 calories a day and learning how to cook a variety of portion controlled meals.

It has been really fun trying new foods. I found the first 3 days I was so hungry because I was eating things that were high in calories so I couldn't eat very much. Now I feel like I am eating all day to get in those 1,200 The secret is in the veggies, people!

Here's a yummy new dinner I tried tonight that Jeff and Tyler both liked a lot. It's a new spin on an old favorite of ours.

Pork Chops:
1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1 T minced garlic

Mix it all up in a bowl and place it on top of the pork chops (enough for 4) and cook as usual. YUM!

We ate this with brown rice and corn on the cob.
