Tilapia

I want to share my experience on cooking fish the other night for supper. It was the first time I had ever cooked fish and I was extremely nervous. But I found a recipe and I have to say that we thought it was fantastic. My husband said it tasted like something you could get from Red Lobster. And to top it off, it was super easy.

I started off by squeezing some lemon over the fish and baking it for about 15-20 minutes. Until it starts to get flaky. I did spray the baking dish with cooking spray and you dont want the fish to overlap. Meanwhile I mixed about 1/2 cup of Mozerella with 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp mayo, 1/4 tsp seasoning salt, 1/4 tsp oregano and pepper. Then you spread this over the fish and broil about five minutes until a golden brown color.

This will definitely be a keeper recipe for us. One of the grocery stores in town puts there tilapia on sale buy one get 2 free and thats the reason I decided to ever buy it in the first place.

The Beginning

I finally remembered the password to my blog! Yay for me ;) I enjoy writing about things and being able to go back and read it. Does that mean I ever write in my journal? Never to be honest. I think there are 3 entries in it and that averages about one a year since I've had it.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my life. What direction is it going? Or lack of direction maybe...... Our Pastor always says that insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. Well that is definitely what has been going on here. In every aspect of my life. My home, my family, and my spiritual life.
For example.....my home.....I want nothing more than to see it organized and clean and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that things would go much more smoothly if it was. So what have I done different to get these things? Well my husband hired someone to clean the house for me while I was 9 months pregnant and taking care of an 11 month old. I thought if I could only get my entire house completely clean then I can definitely KEEP it clean. Right? Well, that's a great concept but it only works if you actually change from what you were doing before!! Due to humiliation I won't even tell you how many times my house actually got cleaned and what it looks like now. Lets just say there is a reason I've been thinking about the lack of direction my life is taking. And that is just one aspect of it. So I am determined to change. I want God to use me and how is He ever going to trust me with human souls if I cant take care of what He has already given me responsibility for? So blogger world, I need you to hold me accountable. Not in a berating way but in a supportive way. Now be kind with that support and keep in mind I now have a one year old and a 3 1/2 week old baby who feels the need to be constantly latched on.

Simple life

Well, I was never consistent with Turbo Jam and stopped after only a couple of weeks. But then I found out I was pregnant. Should've lost the pounds while I could. Im going to try and look for some work outs for pregnant women. I still had sixteen pounds that I didnt have before having being pregnant with Talan and Im not looking forward to adding on to that after this baby. But now, whatever will I blog about? My life is simple and plain. I sit at home all day like a hermit. I dont go anywhere, dont talk to anyone, and do nothing. Talan doesn't do much but smile all day or cry and I could only come up with so many words to describe that ;0 Oh well, maybe something interesting will come along soon!

Second Week

I am now on my second week of Turbo Jam. Last week I lost 3 pounds and I honestly don't know how I did it with all those brownies. But hey, I'm not complaining. I usually have pretty good motivation on Mondays but so far I'm not feeling it. All I've wanted to do is just hold and play with Talan. She's growing up too fast!! Other than Turbo Jam my life is routine. No organized routine but I just do the same stuff. Take care of Talan and attempt to make my house look better. I have half completed that routine. And thats about it for now. If I could keep steady with three pounds a week, I would definitely be happy with that!!

Turbo Jam

After having my daughter almost three months ago I have literally jumped up 6 pants sizes. She weighed 10 lbs and 3 0z and I was HUGE during my pregnancy. I honestly don't think I will ever get to what I weighed when I got married even though thats my goal. But I would at least like to get to a point where people stop asking me when my baby is due!!! So Monday I started working out to Turbo Jam. I will track my progress every Monday. So far I think I've been pretty faithful besides the things I have eaten. Working out makes me hungrier and crave sweets. I ate so many brownies Tuesday that it ruined any workout I had done up to that point. So I've decided to try and exercise more where I don't have to change my lifestyle. Its just not in my budget to cook all natural healthy meals. Yesterday, I worked out three times so just be praying with me on some results!!!!!
