Recipe: Quick Lunch Salad - Creamy Tuna and Bean

So, the other day I got home from work around noon and I was really, really hungry. I didn't have any leftovers, so I got creative.
I've made bean and tuna salads before, but not the creamy kind, but I wanted something a little different.

It's not very pretty, but tastes pretty good

Let's hope I still remember everything I put in:

Recipe: Black Bean Soup with Grilled Chicken Breast - Rezept: Schwarze Bohnensuppe mit Hähnchenbrust

It's been a while since I posted a recipe on here...  but this is a good one to start the new year with: Black Bean Soup with Grilled Chicken Breast

Soups are perfect when its colder and rainy, and it has just the right spiciness, I think. It's healthy and filling for a soup. The good thing is you can make more and then just keep the rest refrigerated for 3 days for a second day. I hope you like this one.

The diet - Die Diät

As I already mentioned in my last blog post, I'm on a diet now. 

I know, I know what (hopefully) most of you are thinking - why am I on a diet. I'm not fat. BUT I'm not 100% happy with my body - and that's why I'm doing it. I've been working out very regularly for quite a while and I did loose some weight already but lately I haven't seen any change. I knew, even though I work out, I had to change the way I eat to see the change I want.

I don't really care how much it shows on the scale but loosing a few inches here and there, lowering my body fat total would really make me happy! 

I'm not ready to show you my "before" pictures because it has only been a week, but I can tell you, I've already lost about 4 pounds, and 1 inch around my waist! And that was only in the first week!
