Thanks Ashlee for sharing! Yall give her some love & follower her on Instagram @ashleelohman 

Recipe: 

Serving size - 2 

2 5oz chicken breasts

2 cups halved cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup basil - or more per your taste

2 table spoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon oregano 

(Taste as you go and adjust seasonings based on your liking) 

Directions: 

Sauté the chicken in coconut oil first for 10 mins on medium until brown & cooked, add tomatoes & basil after chicken is cooked (or it gets soupy), serve & enjoy! 

Um. Yum! 

Thanks again Ash!! Share your favorite recipes with me and I will show you some love! We are all looking for new ways to cook up some protocol meals! 

Eating Out - You can have Chipotle!

Yes, this post title is the truth! 

You CAN have Chipotle on Stimulock!!


Can I get an "Amen"? 

I will tell you what you can have on the menu, and then I will tell you what I get.

CAN HAVE:
- Chicken
- Steak
- Mild Salsa
- Medium Salsa
- Hot Salsa
- Corn Salsa
- Lettuce
- Veggies (you can ONLY eat the onions)
- Agua - of course ;)

WHAT I GET:
- Chicken Bowl
- Mild & Medium Salsa
- Corn Salsa (this is your allowed amount of corn for the week)
- Lettuce
- Agua
- I shake it up and It. Is. Delicious.

You can probably see that you do not get 5oz of protein so you can either order double chicken, eat a boiled egg when you get home, or drink 1 scoop of an allowed protein powder.

What do you get when you eat out? What are your favorite places to eat out at while on Stimulock?

Bye Yall!

Stir Fry - Egg Roll In A Bowl

Hey Yall! Got a fun easy recipe for you!

As I have said, many times before, my favorite food is Chinese; since that is the case, I do my best to cook up a protocol friendly Chinese meal each week. 

Last night I made -- Egg Roll In A Bowl

Ingredients: (1 serving)

Cole Slaw Mix (bag kind) 
Chicken or Beef or Eggs (5oz)
1 Onion
Cauliflower / Other Choice Veggies
Low Sodium Soy Sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
Green onion
Powdered Ginger
Salt/Pepper

Directions:
Cook Chicken, however your would like, and set aside.
In a large skillet - put in onion, garlic, and other veggies.  Stir for a couple of minutes or until you like the texture of the onions. (if using egg, add 3 here = your 5oz of protein)
Then grab 2 handful's of the cole slaw mix (this will be your leafy green serving), and place into skillet.
Pour desired amount of Low Sodium Soy Sauce (or Braggs) over cabbage mix, and stir.
Sprinkle in powdered ginger, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir around until all veggies & cabbage are mixed well.
Cook until you like the consistency of the cabbage (I prefer for mine to be soft so I stir it for about 5 minutes)
Toss in your 5 oz of chicken/beef
Place on plate and sprinkle green onions on top

Enjoy!

*** HINT - Making more than 1 serving? Just double your slaw mix & veggies and then half it down the middle and add your protein once you have split your greens/veggies on your plate. 

I love meals that are your protein, greens, and veggies ALL IN 1! 

I made enough for my husband and me for dinner, as well as lunch today! I'm excited about lunch time coming up! 

What did you have for dinner? Try a new recipe this week, that way you don't get burnt out on the same ole' thing!

Today is Tuesday, so we will be having our normal - TACO TUESDAY!

Make it a great day!

NEW YEAR - NEW Y.O.U

Where in the WORLD did 2014 go?
I feel like it was literally just 5 days ago. *snicker *snicker

No, but really, it went by so quickly. 

With the new year comes resolutions and I like many of you made it one of my resolution's to get to where I want to be in my weight. Some of you are probably thinking - "wait, didn't you JUST get to your size 6 goal?" Yes, yes I did, but after the holidays they are a little snug so I have two goals now...


1. Get in my size 6 comfortably again
2. Get to goal weight of 130 (no matter what SIZE I am in) 

I loaded Saturday and Sunday, so today is day #1 of my Stimulock Protocol, and I have to be real honest with yall. 

I love it. I love how healthy food makes me feel. Guiltless mind after you have finished your meal, satisfied tummy because you are full, and I get to wake up TOMORROW and SEE my weight loss on the scale! 

Win + Win + Win = WIN! 

Sure, I will have a moment, later this week I am sure, where I will want sugar...BUT I will NOT give in. I'm going strong. 

What are some of your hints for beating a sugar craving?

Mine are - 
1. drink a caffeine free diet soda
2. eat a couple sugar free mints
3. chew some sugar free gum
4. eat your allowed Sugar free jello

Let's kick off this year with a BANG! Tell me how you are doing! Have any good recipes you want to share? I'd LOVE to hear from you! 

Breakfast - Fried Egg & Cinnamon Toast 
Snack - 1 Apple
Lunch - 5oz Lean Ground Beef Burger Patties (Aldi - visit here to see more)
1 Cup of Cucumbers
1 Orange Sugar Free Jello
Dinner - 5 oz Stir Fry Chicken (Recipe on Blog tomorrow) 1 1/2 Cups of Cole Slaw Mix (stir fried with chicken) (veggies and leafy greens)
Dessert - 12 Strawberries

1 gallon of water ( I DO NOT have to have this much, but I love water...so why not?)


Parting Thought:
This could be the LAST year "losing weight" could be your New Years Resolution! I KNOW Stimulock isn't the easiest "diet" out there. BUT IT WORKS FAST with LONG LASTING results. I have kept off 40+lbs for almost 2 years! I want to help you reach your weight goal. Contact me here if you want more information or want to get started!
