Back to 152...  I just want to get to 149 by May 1st so I can be where I was when I started this month!  It is time for bootcamp!  I am going into major exercise & health food mode.  Hard core!

I'll keep you posted on the results.

Woot!

It's national dance week so I'm planning on take a LOT of free dance classes for workouts (I went to a brazilian dance class last night that probably accounted for at least 1 of those pounds from yesterday being worked off...)

I might also drop back to .75 on the risperdal to help with the weight loss and now that stress seems to be backing down... as long as I can watch my sleep schedule and keep stress minimized.

Plan to drink a LOT of water.

It's time for BOOT CAMP.

Kale Soup

I made a "soup-er" delicious soup the other day and I just wanted to write down the recipe for it.  A suggestion was posted at New Leaf above the kale, and I just filled it out.

-Kale
-White beans
-Potatoes
-Turkey
-Low sodium chicken broth
-Parsley (from my garden!)
-garlic
-grated carrot
-mushrooms
-barley (what the new leaf recipe suggested) OR
-brown rice (what I used) and it turned out tasty

I think this was everything in it...  It tasted amazing...  the potatoes gave the broth a nice creamy taste and I always feel virtuous eating beans.  I think it was good for weight loss too because it had lots of healthy veggies in it, not too much salt, and the turkey helps with sleep.

:)

EDIT:

the 2nd time making this I am thinking this would be better with adding a caramelized white onion and some chopped celery.
