It's Football Season! I Want Me Some Chicken...

Ingredients (for making the chicken wings):
Packet of ready cooked grilled chicken (I used a package from costco, it was about 33 oz. of chicken)
1 cup flour
Salt &...

milfitude-deactivated20120913 asked: I have to tell you a funny(not really all that funny) story. I bought sweet potatoes with the full intention of making your famous sweet potato fries. Anyway, I started to get progressively more sick, which stopped me from cooking, and before I knew it, it was Monday morning, and I was about to have surgery. I totally forgot about the sweet potatoes until today. I was cleaning out my fridge, and...

At EVERYONE (& @horseandriderhealth)
horseandriderhealth: I couldn’t agree with you more! Weight loss takes time and an occasional cheat meal. I do have a suggestion for those of you that struggle with feeling guilty after your cheat meal or after over-indulging. I take an amazing all natural supplement called Fat Fighter after every cheat or over-indulgence. This supplement absorbs the most of the fat from your meal before...
neon-spandex asked: I get queasy feeling in my tummy, but haven't actually thrown up, when I take them. Maybe I'm not timing it right or something? I know my iron tends to dip unless I'm super careful. Any vitamin-related tips are encouraged!

Are You Sabotaging Yourself?
Hey everyone. I have been doing some thinking after reading your posts this past week….
In no way, this is directed at any one person, nor am I trying to act like I know everything about weight loss. I just feel some people (whom I love) need some perspective. I am not a nutritionist or a doctor, but this is what has worked for me, and I’m happy & healthy and have lost over 30 lbs...
relgetsright asked: :O <oy where are those recipes for wings and tacos you promised?)
You asked me to yell and you even used the word please. I am also SUPER interested in these recipes as both of these foods are some of my favorites :)

Yell at me for not posting my chicken wings & tempeh taco recipe.
Also. I think I need to clarify the uninspired thing. Part of it is (mainly because of school) I feel a little bit like I’m stuck in a rut. I’m basically doing the same things everyday, and because of school & work & such I dont have much wiggle room. I am NOT however discouraged with my weight loss or my...

skinnyjourney asked: Haha! Are you a salmon freak as well? I think I seriously live for it. It's kind of bad.
relgetsright asked: I was eating my granola bar tonight and I saw in the ingredients that it said corn syrup at one point but then towards the end it said fructose! Is this HFCS sneaking into my body via sneaky Canadian names? It's a Target brand granola bar for the record.
tmnold asked: Just followed your How-To for a "fried" egg. It was perfect! I've never been able to get my eggs perfectly sunny-side-up, I either cook them too long or not enough. Putting a lid on and waiting for two minutes was definitely worth it :)

Tumblr Tuesday: Fitter. Faster. Stronger. Edition
Tumblr Tuesday goes to 2 of the strongest women I know. Emotionally AND Physically. (Personally, I think the first is more important sometimes)

She was actually my very first tumblr tuesday rec AND the very first person to rec me for tumblr tuesday (cause I was physic. hahah)
Anyway, she’s running a half marathon in LESS than a week, she did the Warrior Dash recently and...
milfitude-deactivated20120913 asked: Hold up. What happened to your grandmother?! Agh. I'm sorry if I missed your post about that. Was I in the hospital?
courtneyesmith-deactivated20110 asked: I love hearing that people on here live in AZ too! :D (just thought I'd let you know haha.)
Miss me?
So, I’m back…more or less.
Last few days, meh. I have been COMPLETELY lethargic the last few days. Like, I could barely wake up this morning (granted I had like mild food poisoning, but yeah, couldn’t wake up) and have literally NOT wanted to do anything but lay around/sleep.
Haven’t done homework, I have a test tomorrow. Haven’t blogged, haven’t posted...
mrsfitwatcher asked: DEFINITELY the taste...jazzed it up with dried fruit and honey, even. Not my jive...
continouslywaiting asked: I hope you are doing well! I see you haven't been on today. Sending good vibes your way
milfitude-deactivated20120913 asked: Hi. Hey. Hello. I miss you on my dash. It seems you've been away. Everything OK? <3
Murphy's Law?
So. I THOUGHT today was gonna be low key. Could take it easy after my seemingly endless week.
That is NOT how this weekend is going to go. I know I’m gonna sound whiny, especially with the circumstances.
My grandma had a mini stroke. She’s…fine. Technically. I think? But my poor mom. She was at the hospital until 3 am and then is now back at grandmas house then back to the...
fitblrmodify asked: I'm going to be trying that recipe for sweet potato fries soon, too. Is there a replacement for Kosher salt? If not, should it cook fine without it?
noexcuses-justresults-deactivat asked: record yourself making a recipe and post it here! :)
iwillbefitandfab-deactivated201 asked: I did't use any onion powder because we didn't have any, and no cayenne pepper. The only thing I did different was I added some brown sugar to the mix. it was the perfect sweet spicy and salty mix ever. They were so REDIC good!
Thanks so much for posting an awesome recipe. (:

Almost!
So, usually whenever I hang out with T, I cannot get away without super embarrassing/unflattering pictures being taken of me, which, of course HAVE to be posted on Facebook…
I was SOO close on Wednesday, I managed to get away with only 3 pictures, 1 was kinda good….
Not horrible…a little insane looking, but all and all, not horrible…
Popeye?!
*sigh* So close. Nice...
Today was...
Exhausting. I honestly can’t think of anything to say. I have some stuff I wanna do like answer questions that I’ve had forever (SORRY! I swear I’m not ignoring you!) and upload my tempeh recipe and maybe even do a vlog.
I just want to say thank you soooo much to everyone who commented/messaged and gave me advice about the whole T situation. I don’t think I made myself...

If You Read All This, I'll Give You A Penny
You know, for penny candy! Wait, what do you mean there’s no more penny candy?!?
sigh sorry guys. No penny candy :-/
Anyway. So the drama, or lack there of? I can’t get my brain around it. I don’t like thinking horrible things about a friends. So, my friend, T, is married and her husband is deployed to Afghanistan. For months she has been talking about how much she missed him...

Ok, so, I have been RACKING my brain trying to figure out who to recommend for Tumblr Tuesday, but then it hit me like a bolt of thunder (:-P)….

Yet Another NSV!!
So. I ran for 1 minute 45 seconds straight!!!!!!!
I probably could have made it to 2 minutes, but my knee started hurting and I dont want to hurt myself.
I know to some of you milers, this isn’t a big deal. But for me. With my retawded knee, this is huge!
Yay double NSV day!
babetron asked: I'm trying to update my pages on my visualizemeskinny tumblelog and would like to have multiple posts instead of one gigantic post on the page. Basically, I'd like my pages to look how you're pages look like in your healthy recipes section where each one can be broken up. Can you help me figure out how to accomplish this please? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

I need your help. I have decided what to do for 2/3 of my dinner tonight but II'm putting it on YOU to figure out what I can do with the last third.
