18 August 2012 - update & a little meal idea :)

Well, what a week....I have to be honest, I was pretty bad this week. Not as bad as last week while I was on vacation, but I did find myself having late night snacks, and I did kind of over indulge myself at my nephews birthday party...

Yeah I found it pretty hard this week. Not sure whether it was because I allowed myself so much leverage last week while I was away and then found it hard to let go this week, or maybe I was just a little fed up? *shrugs* I think it may be the former, as I still had the right mindset to be good, just found myself not doing it.

Anyways, I was not looking forward to weighing myself this morning, sort of had it in my head that I may have put even more on this week. So imagine my surprise when I found I had lost 4 lbs!!!! It was just the lift I needed. So not only did I lose the 3 lbs I put on last week, I some how managed to lose a bonus one :)) Well happy...so to celebrate, here is a little "meal for one" for you to give a go, I had it tonight, and it was delicious....

Marinated Turkey with spicy garlic potatoes.

Take a turkey breast and marinate it in soy sauce and ground pepper.

Take a medium sized potato and cut it into decent sized pieces. Place the pieces into an oven dish and add a large knob of butter, garlic, chilli powder and herbs. Baked in the oven at 190 for 45mins (or until the potatoes are crispy and browned and fluffy inside.

With 5 mins of the potatoes remaining, take your turkey breast and place it in a pre heated grill (I use a George Foreman grill) and cook for 5 mins.

And that's it...simple and lovely. Of course you can serve it with what ever else you want...salad, or other vegetables, but I just had the potatoes and turkey, in fact, I still have some potatoes left over for tomorrows dinner, hehe :))
