Skillet Chicken and Mozzarella Bake
Tonight’s meal was courtesy of Cooking Light’s The best Chicken Cookbook.
Coming in at under 400 calories, this delicious chicken dish was a hit with the whole family. Pared with a salad, it filled the plate and more importantly satisfied everyone’s appetite. Since I’m gluten free, I substitute “panko” with Cornflake Crumbs.

C25K – Day 1
I like to ride my mountain bike, especially on trails. This is how I plan to get most of my cardio workouts, but sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate.
Since the trails were closed today due to rain, I was looking for another cardio excerise. My wife suggested that we could do the “Couch to 5K” (C25K) workout as a family. I thought that was a great idea.
Well, it seemed like a great idea until I was actually out there on the sidewalk jogging. What was I thinking? Sweat pouring down my face, huffing and puffing, I managed to make it through day 1, which is more than I can say for the kids, they bailed on us before we took our first step.

I’m not going to sugar coat it…jogging sucks, but I can’t ignore the benefits and results. So, in my quest to lose 50lbs I’ve decided to keep at it and will add C25K to my weight loss regiment.
Step 1
Welcome.
This is my preverbal first step towards a personal goal to lose 50lbs.
I decide to blog about my planned transformation mainly as way to keep motivated and engaged. At the very least it will be a personal record to which I can look back on, but maybe it becomes something that inspires others as well.
But right now, it’s just step one.
