Two Months in and still going strong

Okay so I have been on the diet for two months now and I am still going strong and really enjoying it. I have currently lost 9lb so that is an average of over 1lb a week which I am more than happy with at this stage.

The things I have mainly learnt are about cooking from scratch, I have made Chicken Kievs, Pies, Quiches and other things that 6 months ago I would have laughed in your face if you had told me that I would be doing!

Tonight Diet Coke Chicken and Spaghetti - this has become our favourite meal for takeaway night without the takeaway:

Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts (Diced)1 Can of Diet Coke (330ml)1 tsp Chinese 5 spice

Optionals:1 Medium chopped onion6 tbsp of passata1 Crushed garlic cloveSplash of worchester sauseSplash of soy sauce (for those that like a bit of heat)Splash of tobasco (for those that like a bit of heat)Any spare veg you have leftover

Directions
  • Diced the chicken (not too big) and brown in a frying pan with some frylight.
  • Add the can of coke.
  • Stir in a heaped teaspoon of chinese mixed/5 spice.
  • Simmer until the coke reduces (stir occationally).

We tend to have this with either Rice (egg fried) or Spaghetti.

Thank you so much for those in my Clue Crew who have donated. 15% of my target so far :)
