We made our big pot of soup yesterday; so today we will eat some more of that and probably have a sandwich with it. It turned out really good. The meat was tender, but the vegetables probably needed to cook a little longer. It can do that today. I weighed this morning; too. I weigh almost exactly what I did last week. So I guess that means I must make more of an effort starting today. I have been exercising, but evidently not enough. So this week I will make a concerted effort to exercise and eat even healthier than I have been. The soup really has helped. Which makes me think my idea of a soup blog is probably a good idea.
Starting today I will post a soup recipe a little more often and I think I will start my Crock-Pot blog with a soup a day recipe. For now I will post my weight-loss tip of the day and then a recipe for soup.

Weight-Loss Tip of the Day Number 19:
Get serious about what you are eating everyday. By this I mean If you decide to go on a diabetic diet like I need to; stick with it.
I realize we are using Grace, but you do still have to have structure and guidelines or you will have trouble with consistency. This is the first day of the week , so start today structuring your diet and write it down. Follow your own guidelines and stick with that. If you decide how you are going to eat it will make it easier for you to stick with it. Personalize your own weight-loss. This makes it a lot easier to stay on track. For me I need to personalize the diet that I got from the Dietitian. Choose the foods that you like, that are choices on your diet, and you will be a lot more likely to stick with it. For now I will post a recipe with ingredients that are good for this diet.
