Sorry this is so late today! I have been doing the post during naptime lately, and today there was none. Argh. I hate it when that happens! I did get the boys in their rooms for some quiet time, but then got a phone call from a friend, so one thing lead to another and here I am at 9:45pm!
SO! How was your week? Did you lose this week? I had a good loss, after two or three weeks of plateau. I lost 3 lbs this week! Woot! That brings my total lost to 15 lbs, which is more than halfway to my 28 lb. goal. It also means I now weigh less than I did when I got married back in 1999. I'm excited about that! Curious about how much difference 15 lbs can make? Check it out! You'll notice I made that post almost a week ago. I weigh myself daily (taking each day with a grain of salt obviously, because there can be a lot of fluctuation in day to day weight loss), and lost the 3 lbs sometime between weds morning and thurs morning last week. So I made dh grab a camera and capture the moment before I lost it. LOL! I did fluctuate a bit (up, then back down), but I held on to the bottom line, so I'm happy about that.
I've been doing great with my exercising. I'm really enjoying it. I do The Biggest Loser Workouts... season 2-3, I believe. So, Bob Harper kicks my rear on a near-nightly basis. Once in awhile I'll toss in a Weight Watchers workout video or a Richard Simmons video to shake things up, but I really like Bob a lot so I seem to keep going back to him. One thing I definitely need to keep working on though is eating earlier. I'm still eating between 8-9 every night (after the kids are in bed). It's a hard habit to break.
Speaking of eating, my blogger friend Michelle sent me a recipe for "Diet Chicken" :o) this week, so I'll share it here:
6 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds, optional (I didn't use these)
Mix together soy sauce, honey and seeds (if desired)
Place chicken in slow cooker, spooning 2 Tbsp. of mixture over each breast. Pour any remaining sauce over top after all the chicken is in the cooker.
Cook on low 4-6 hrs, or until meat juices run clear.
That's it!! It ends up being 170 calories per serving. I garnished it with fresh pineapple on the side. Really good!!!
I can't wait to try it!
Enjoy the day ;o) night!

YAY for you! And I saw that post last week and can really see the difference! I finally caved and joined Weight Watchers this week, but it's turning out to be a good thing. I've lost 2 pounds, and that's in additon to the 3 I previously lost, so that's five, but I'm going to start going by the weigh-in weight. Jon and I have been getting up in the morning and doing pilates as well, so that's helped. And I also ordered the BL workout tapes from Netflix so Bob can kick my butt! Here's to another good week!
Way To Go! 15 lbs is quite an accomplishment. I've been trying to lose that for 5 years. ugh. You look great. I do see a difference. Isn't that weird. Are your clothes fitting differently. This chicken recipe is totally up my alley. I'm cookin it manana. Thanks!
great job, Sarah! keep up the great work!
I've lost 20 lbs since I started weight watchers in January! Love reading about your success!
