June Goals

Here we are. I'm hoping that by posting them online and making them public it will mean I'm more likely to give it my all and actually aim for them. It seems to have been a good while since I can honestly say I've given it 110% every single day so I'm hoping this month I can. They're all targets I can achieve if I set my mind to it. I just need to take it a day at a time if needs be. 

Game on!

Chicken & Tomato Soup

For anyone interested in this here is the recipe...

You will need:-

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 red pepper, diced
2 large skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
800g canned chopped tomatoes
400ml chicken stock - I used 3 stock cubes to make sure it was relatively thick
1 tbsp chopped rosemary
1 tbsp crushed chillies
2 tbsp. tomato puree
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:-

Place the onion and pepper in a large non-stick saucepan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes.
Add the chicken, tomatoes, stock, rosemary and lemon zest, chillies and juice.
Bring to the boil, stir, then cover and simmer on a medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season to taste and serve

This recipe is completely syn free and so tasty!

A bit of hindsight...

I spent a lot of time at the start of my journey comparing myself to others and feeling deflated. 

It took me a while but now I know the only comparison that matters is that between me before and me now. 

Lesson learnt.
