Weigh in

Well I have had a pretty good week this week but my monthly visitor arrived so I did not expect big numbers but I expected at least 2-3lbs. Didn't happen, -1.6 I know it is a loss but I was a little discouraged. During the meeting our leader talked about how in the summer we tend to get so busy we don't eat on a regular schedule and how that can sabotage your weight loss if you save all your points and use them in the evening. She said your body doesn't have enough time to metabolise the food. Made perfect sense and that is exactly what I did this week. I worked so hard during the days this week to prepare for a yard sale we are going to have that I mostly ate only at night. I guess a loss is a loss though and I am happy about that. It's another week and I will be monitoring my eating schedule a little bit better and hoping for a bigger number next week. I do feel a little less focused on food right now which is also a plus. I am seeing some and feeling some emotional changes going on as well so that is good too.
The pictures above are what one pound looks like. The pound of chocolate looks so much prettier but I guess if the fat was served in it's real form yuck( the second picture) I think it would be less appealing. Looking at pictures of one what one pound looked like made me feel a little better about my small loss this week.


Here is a wonderful WW recipe that I got a while back and I make it quite often. We all love it and it is so easy.





Cheesy Crockpot Chicken (7.5 PTS)

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 Cans 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Cooked rice
Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Put chicken in the bottom of the crockpot. Add rest of ingredients on top. Cook 8 hours on low. Serve over rice or noodles. (Points include rice)

Per Serving: 328 Calories; 8g Fat; 55g Protein; 5g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 146mg
Cholesterol; 631mg Sodium.



I usually don't cut up the chicken it just makes it that much easier to make. I don't see the serving size above so I try to keep it at about a cup to a cup and 1/2 I also use brown rice.


I have a close friend who said her family would never eat this but her son was over here one night with my son and he had 3 helpings and still wanted more. It really is great and very easy.


If you try it let me know how you liked it.


Hope you are having a great week.
