Yup.....I'm with the band!

Welcome to my online journal of my journey from fat girl to phat girl :) I had the Lap Band surgery in 2007 and I'm closing in on my goal weight... this next year is critical in reaching this goal and moving past a lot of junk and poor habits.

I'm in love and it's not with a Man.... or a Woman! LOL! I'm in love with Beach Body and what it has helped me accomplish in the last three years. The Lap Band is not a gimmick and it isn't an unlockable Chasity Belt. It's HARD HARD work and what's made it possible for me to lose these 90+ lbs, however, slowly is Beach Body. Yoga Booty Ballet and Hip Hop Abs has given me back my girliness :)

I'll be as candid as I can without letting all my mystery :)

You'll follow me through intensive cardio training... back to basics lap bandisms, maybe an adjustment or two, the headache of what this loss does to the body (loose skin--- eww!), my support group for Lap Band and Bariatric patients both Pre and Post Op, and OH YES my 40th birthday! This won't be BORing!

Herb Cider Brined Chicken Breast and Vegetables

Posted by Desi at 4:40 PM


I got this recipe from a brine for Turkey Roast.

I measure nothing LOL!

poke holes in three skinless chicken breasts with a fork

In a ziplog bag place the chicken

add three sprigs of Rosemary and four sprigs of Thyme

Pour in a cup and a half of apple cider


Now you can let this sit a good two hours, but I let mine sit overnight in the fridge.


Once well brined.... pat dry with paper towels and sit hte chicken aside


On a plate I pour a little olive oil and seasonings


Cover both sides of the chicken and lay in a roasting pan


Cook on 450 for 20 minues then reduce heat to 245 and cook an additional 20 minutes.

Add vegetables... any kind works... brussel sprouts are yummy!

I top the chicken with a glaze I made from frozen peaches and then stick the chicken back in the oven for yes... 20 more minutes.... then done :)
