Favorite Thing

One of my new favorite things:

I recently was watching an episode of the M and J Show on Fox. And they had a guy on that had lost a ton of weight (like half his body weight or something). When asked how he did it, his response was not getting surgery like so many do these days. And for the record, I believe that surgery has a place and I have a friend whom I love who had that surgery and it has turned her life around completely!

But when asked how this young man lost his weight he replied that he invested in a George Foreman Grill and started eating grilled chicken, turkey, veggies and even buffalo (it is supposed to have a low fat content).

The George Foreman Grill--and it's even in RED!


His main emphasis was on eating right. He didn't follow a "diet plan" other than just eating healthy, portion control and not snacking unhealthily. His results were amazing!


I feel that I have been in my own slump, eating/weight wise. And so after thinking about it for a few days I decided to bite the bullet and try out a George Foreman Grill. More than anything, I need variety in my healthy eating.



My dinner last night, along with a piece of no fat cornbread.

As a result, I've been having lots of this


for dinner and veggie sandwiches for lunch. And it's especially nice when I make something like this:




for my family (notice the cheese), that I have something else to eat that is appetizing and healthy!

And I recommend the Sunflower Market for a great place to buy great veggies and produce at great prices with lots of variety. [And most of their stuff is organic.] In Colorado there is one near Deseret Book in Littleton and other places too; and in Utah there is one in Orem and Murray (I believe).

Additonally, another thing about the grill is that it is also a waffle maker and has a shallow pan insert too, so you can make eggs, etc... in it--including pizza! I have used this thing almost every day since I bought it.

You go girl (I say as I sit here eating Toffee Chex! LOL). I have a grill, but it's not George Foreman, another famous brand I can't remember, but it's such a nightmare to clean, so we rarely use it.

This grill is super easy to clean - takes less than a minute, I'd say!!

Kari, I admire you for sticking to the healthy eating rather than having their yummy meal. I couldn't have not had some! I have heard from others that they love the GF grill too!

Good for you!!! I had one and never used it...now I know I should have :)

i have always wanted to get the George Foreman grill.

I need to try outs with chicken. We have only made sandwiches on our George.

Glad you made it safe and sound. Adjustment is hard. Give yourself about 6 months. Hang in there!!
