Dropped from 222.8 to 220.4 so that's 2.4 pounds. Seems like such a small amount but I hear that can be a good thing. At least it's in the right direction especially considering my weight was 224 two weeks ago when first cutting back portions.
Made chicken noodle soup from scratch for the family for dinner. New experience to boil a whole chicken in the stock pot. Never made chicken soup from scratch, was actually pretty easy and everyone enjoyed it. Chicken, natural broth (strained), carrots, celery, onion and spices. Sounds wholesome.
Spent a couple hours in the afternoon playing in disc golf (Frisbee) leagues. It's a great sport, that's part of the reason we moved to this location. The course is only 6 blocks away from our home. And by the way there's a Professional Disc Golf Association and I am the State Coordinator to the group for Nebraska. Whooo. lol...
Tomorrow we're going snow skiing all day, that will burn plenty of calories! There is actually a ski run about 70 miles away called Mt Crescent. Not much of a place, but it is exercise and good practice for the kids to get accustomed to the ski equipment before going to the Rocky Mountains.
Tomorrow night a group from Omaha with a ukulele playing lead singer will be performing at a coffee house only about 6 miles from home. The group is called "All Young Girls Are Machine Guns". Heard them last fall at a uke fest in Omaha. The bass player was using an acoustic uBass too! Other performers at the Ukulele Hoopla were Pops Bayless, Brook Adams, Kimmo Hussey, and as if that is not enough the local group 4 Strings of Swing were stunning (especially the female singer/violinist).
HOme made chicken soup is the best. My grandmother made it every single MOnday for dinner. That provided soup and stock for all week, and the stewed chicken was pulled off the bone and used not only in soup but also as chicken for chicken salad, and put with tomatoes and veggies for Chicken Cacciatore. So versatile. I learned a lot about making food stretch from my depression era grandmothers.
ReplyDeleteWish we had ukulele groups here in the Philly area. No such luck.
Keep on keeping on and have fun skiing
