Homemade Creamy Mac and Cheese.

Hey there everyone, hope you are doing well. I got on the scale and I am 346.8 , I was at 385.  I was craving mac and cheese, and I had no flour, I ended up making some and omg, it turned out great, I'll share my recipe here for you. 

1/2 package of Egg noodles, you can use elbow macaroni, ( I didn't have any)
1 package of cream cheese

1 cup to 1/2 half cups of shredded cheddar

2 tablespoons of butter
 Milk enough to make creamy to how you like
Boil pasta according to directions in a pot

drain and let sit

Melt butter in pot add in cream cheese, stir until creamy, making sure not to scorch it add in cheese and milk and stir until cheese is melted, add in pasta and gently mix, I season mine with pepper.  I know this isn't exactly healthy but better than the boxed kind, this will serve about two- four, if you need to serve more just add in more pasta and I believe the other ingredients will be enough, I was just experimenting.  If you try it let me know what you think and what you added to make it better or to be different.

Happy New Year and Youtube?

Hey Everyone, Merry Meet.

Sorry it's been almost a month since I posted, I have been getting back into my healthier me lifestyle, I am thinking about doing youtube videos about my journey of weight loss, Not sure yet as I am really camera shy and such. Last time I weighed myself I was at 348, making my loss at 37 pounds.  When I started this journey I was 385, I am taking it off really slowly. I just, today got to where I did ten mins on the stationary bike and then while in the kitchen doing dishes I started stepping in place.  I have cut my sodium down a lot, I make my own taco seasoning, I use organic no salt season, red chili powder, garlic powder and some cumin powder, I make it to taste so really no measurements, it works great as a seasoning for tacos, I have also found Better Than Bullion, for making homemade chicken noodle soup, I use three table spoons in one pot so that equals 65 mg of sodium for one cup of soup. I have cut my meat consumption down, I eat mostly chicken, and some fish, and very rarely will I have red meat.  I have cut my coke zero habit down to one a week now, and found a wonderful yogurt that I like that has low sugar, it's Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt, with only seven grams of sugar, I also found Roasted Garlic Triscuits, omg ya'll those are the bomb. Sorry am channeling Ember HoneyRaven.  Trying to also get my water consumption up to 128 ounces of water a day, been only doing 64-80 so not good, my skin is suffering for it.  My goal for this year is to keep doing what I am doing and cutting out sugar, I got rid of excess salt, now it's time to get rid of excess sugar. I hope you are all doing well and that you have a wonderful year and, oh what do you think if I started a Youtube channel, would you watch?
