I don't LOVE meat.

So how am I suppose to get more lean protien in my diet? I'm not a HUGE meat fan.

Also... MY JEANS ARE LOOSE TODAY!!!! WAHOO!! I'm currently in a Lane Bryant size 22 jeans, or Blue 5 (which means I have a cuuuurvy figure).

I also need more fiber in my diet. How am I going to do that? This I am figuring out.

Hitting the gym tonight....

This is what I made last night... (My husband, who is skinny, loved it and ate 3 bowls of it! He had no idea it was reduced fat).

Tastey Reduced Fat Chicken Scarpariello recipe

1/2 pound hot and/or sweet Turkey sausage links, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
3 medium garlic cloves crushed
1 large green or red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium sprig fresh thyme or rosemary
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) rotisserie chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
**Chili Sauce if you like it hot!!!
Salt and/or season salt

Heat nonstick 12-inch skillet or 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add sausage chunks, garlic, green pepper, onion, rosemary, oil, and salt; cook, covered, 5 minutes to brown slightly, stirring occasionally.Stir whole cherry tomatoes into sausage mixture in skillet; arrange chicken pieces on top. Add chili sauce to taste at this time (I used a heaping tablespoon). Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer about 10 minutes longer (20 minutes if chicken has been refrigerated) or until sausage is cooked through, tomato skins begin to burst, and chicken is hot, turning chicken pieces over halfway through cooking.

Yields 4 main dish servings.
