Healthy Mom Challenge Update- Weekly Weigh In

Well, here it is Monday.  One week since we posted our challenge on the blog.  I went to weigh in today feeling good about my progress and my effort last week.  I have been watching what I eat, and making sure that I actually do eat enough.  So what did the scale tell me today?  I am down 5.8 pounds for the week.

For those of you joining me on the journey, how are you doing?  Have you faced challenges or possibly found some great recipes to share with us that helped you become a healthier eater this week?

Share your story or if you are a first time guest join our challenge to be “Healthier Moms” and you might just be our biggest winner in the “Healthy Mom” challenge!

Here is a great low carb recipe I discovered this weekend:

Artichoke Stuffed Chicken (LOW CARB)

What You Need:

8 ounces cream cheese (0 carbs)
1 cup mayonaise (0 carbs)
1 cup sour cream (0 carbs)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (0 carbs)
1 8.5 ounce can artichoke hearts sliced into small pieces (6 carbs)
Several pieces of celery, chopped

How To Do It:

Mix the above together in a medium bowl.  This will be our filling.
You’ll also need 4 to 6 average sized chicken breasts depending on how many people you are serving. Pound chicken breasts flat using a meat tenderizer (Works great for getting some aggression out too!).

Spread the artichoke filling on top of the flattened chicken. Roll up and secure in place with a toothpick or skewer and put into baking dish. After all rolls are in place, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

You will most likely likely have left over filling that you can add on top of the chicken or serve it on the side at dinner time.

Until next time,
