Yesterday was my first official day of recommitting myself to losing weight. I guess I can't complain since I lost 4.4 lbs for my first day! Yay! I know it is mainly water weight, but I am happy nonetheless. This is only the beginning of my weight loss journey. There will be some ups and downs but with the support and help from all of you guys, I know reaching my goal weight will be possible.
Now for the yummy recipe I tried this evening! I love Tilapia and this recipe is going right up there with my other favorite recipes. It is bursting with lots of flavor and I will continue to make it again and again. Hubby even liked it so that is a bonus! I served it on a bed of romaine lettuce, but you could serve it with your favorite veggies. Enjoy!
