Week 3: Project Weight Loss

The results were disappointing this week. Though I shouldn't be too disappointed, since I haven't been putting in nearly as much effort as I should.

BUT, even if I screw up one day (or one week) I get right back on it! So that must count for something....right?

This weeks goal...




WRITE. DOWN. EVERYTHING....BITCH!


I really think this should help me determine where I'm going off. My only current theory is wine. Damn wine. You always mess with me!


Week 3

Current Stats
Weight: 161lbs
Height: 5'5"
Goal Weight: 130lbs
Weekly Loss: 0 lb
Total : +1 lb  :(

(sadly had to edit this because I weighed myself a few minutes later and it was 161 so I changed it)


Mini Goal Breakdown: 

01/28/2013 - 150lbs - will probably have to update this... obviously...

02/25/2013 - 140lbs

03/25/2013 - 135lbs

04/29/2013 - 130lbs

Another goal for this week is the low LOW point WW soup.

I caught the cooking bug yesterday and made my first edible crock-pot creation.

We'll call it:

Katy's 1 Point Veggie Lentil Soup 

So creative...I know.

Also, I'm following the old point system, so this might not be the same for the point-plus people.

In case you are interested here is the recipe, notes at the bottom for what I would change next time.

• 1 cup frozen or fresh whole kernel corn
• 4 carrots, sliced
• 1/2 cup diced sweet onion
• 2 stalks celery, sliced into 1/2” pieces
• 1 cup (fresh or frozen) green beans, broken into 1” pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 can of diced tomatoes instead
• 5 cups vegetable broth
• 3 cups water
• 1 ½ cups (dry) brown lentils
• 1 cup Mushrooms (I used brown crimini)
• 1 small zucchini
• Medium red bell pepper
• ½ tbsp. Cayenne Pepper
• ½ tbsp. Curry Powder
• 3-4 cloves of garlic

I cut it all that shit up, then dumped it all in the crock pot at the same time and set it for 8 hours on low. 

Suggestions: 

*It could have used 10 hours for sure

*Add more spices (I don't care what kind...friend suggested Cumin, Oregano, Chipotle Chili Powder)

The best part about this is that you can use whatever the hell you want!

You hate zucchini?! Don't add it!

You love cabbage!? Throw that shit in there!

(This is not my soup, I forgot to take a picture, credit goes here, which btw looks like a great recipe too!)
