First Check In

Today we had our first weight in at the Doctors office.  Tom is down 10 pounds in one week, I only showed a 5 pound difference even though I have really lost almost 8 already.  This is first week!  Tom has lost 5 inches total and I have 4 1/2 total.  :] 

We had our first 'fast food' meal while being on the diet.  We had Arby's - Both ordered a Medium Roast Beef with no bun, this is 3 oz - then we shared the roast beef from a Junior which is 1.5.  It was so good!  

Here is a recipe that I used for dinner.  It was so good it didn't even feel like diet food.  Enjoy!

Crockpot Chicken or Beef
You can cook several pounds of chicken or beef for convenience

2 pounds chicken/beef 
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 onion, chopped (I used a red one since they are 'free)
4 stocks of celery
garlic powder, onion powder, basial, paprika, rosemary, parsley, salt and pepper to taste.  (About a teaspoon to a table spoon each)
Enough water to cover everything in the crockpot.


This makes 8 servings - the easiest thing to do is divide them up into ziplock bags then you have a quick meal or an easy lunch at the office.  You can also save back the remainder of the broth for other meals that you do.
