Out with the old…In with the new!

by TastesSpicy

Update on my exercising…I am proud to say that I am 2 pounds away from my goal. Two pounds! I have seen changes in my body, changes in the way my clothes fit and I have received lots of good compliments on my body in the last few weeks. It makes all the craving for potato chips, rice, hotdogs….worth while!

Here are my before and After pictures…Before in the Orange and after in the pink!

Before and After


Now my new goal is to maintain what I have worked so hard for. I am going on a much needed vacation in a few weeks and this will be a challenge, as my mom is the best cook in the world!

But before my vacation…I am looking forward to a close/best friend of mine to visit. The anticipation is killing me! LOL

I love to show-off and plan and cook, when my friend visits. And its not often it happens so I like to make good use of my time. I rather make small, quick meals and reserve my precious time for other adventures as it is not often I get to have friends over. Utterly excited!

With Summer SLOWLY approaching, I had to dust off the BBQ grill this weekend. It was still cold while I was out there grilling, but I had my snow boots and my gloves on! I was set. By force Summer will come. I made Jerk Chicken with Beans & Rice and fried plantains!

My little monster chow down on 4 pieces of chicken! My brother-in-law was like dang it has been so long since he had any kind of grilled meat. This was indeed a long winter…but I think we are seeing the end in sight. Although the weather guys says snow tomorrow! Bring it on.

Enjoy. And as usual I love receiving feedback.

The pictures do look quite lovely, i can see the indian in a Trini girl. Yet if your also wearing your cloth better and feeling better after reaching your weight goals… thats all a great thing for ones mind. So nice of you to have reached your weight goal and be managing it after. Working on that myself, as well learning more to cook with Caribbean Flavor which I guess living in the U.S is one the real unique part of my heritage I have left that I can maintain. It just feels important to really do so.

But at least I know, and will appreciate that all the taste and spicy will also be healthy or if so most the time.
