Week 7--Finally passed 11

Pounds lost: 2
Total pounds lost: 13
Pounds to go: 12

Confessions

I have been horrible about eating breakfast! It makes it really hard not to want to eat a ton late at night. We also went to Chuck-A-Rama for the first time with some friends and I ate until I was sick. I have been really bad with pop this past week too, so I need to get back on track with my water.

What Worked

Something...I just don't know what it was. We have been super busy and sick lately, so I think the combo of not having time to eat much during the day and taking care of the girls has given me an extra boost. I have tried as much as possible to stick to my eating plan, and that has been helpful. I just tried Mom's southwest chicken soup stuff and that was super good. I added some tortilla chips to it as well.

Recipe

Slow Cooker Sweet & Tangy Chicken

INGREDIENTS

2 (18 ounce) bottles barbeque sauce
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, pineapple with juice, green bell pepper, onion, and garlic.

Arrange 4 of the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour half of the barbecue sauce over the chicken. Place remaining chicken in slow cooker, and pour remaining sauce over the top.
Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours.

Serve over rice. Makes 8 servings.

**I have no idea how healthy this is, but we are going to try it this week**

Goals

We planned a lot more crock pot meals this week, so hopefully that will make it easier to eat on time. I plan to change up my lunches and mid-day snacks a little so I'm not so starving at night. And, as always, drink more agua!

Congrats on such a great weight loss, especially since you went to Chuck's!

The chicken recipe should be pretty healthy, not much fat! It sounds yummy!

It's always a good idea to change things around once in a while. That way you don't get bored!

Sorry the girls have been sick! And what's going on with Athens?
