Soup, part 2 and Weight Watchers

I don’t know what’s gotten in to me, but I actually cooked again. I used to cook all of the time, but when it’s just me, I usually have meals that require little to no preparation (i.e., salad).

I changed the recipe I cooked last week to add more garlic (3.5 cloves instead of 2), added 4 Tb of tomato paste, and let all of the veggies simmer in the pot instead of cooking half of the veggies separately.

Oh my. Nom nom. ‘Twas good to have on a cold day. Tonight I had left overs and I may have more for lunch tomorrow.

Yummy zero point soup.

Weight Watchers uses points to determine how much you can eat per day. One point is approximately 50-60 calories and is determined by a ratio of calories to fat to fiber. A 80 point food with low fat and high fiber may be 1 point. A higher fat food with low fiber might be two.

I’m doing pretty well on Weight Watchers. I lost 45 pounds on it before. I’m down 10+ pounds now and counting. Not bad for a month. 🙂

I keep thinking about riding and wanting to not feel embarrassed if I’m in breeches.

    I just talked to the vet. He said that the toxins in Isis’ system are gone (yay!). Unfortunately, her small intestines still aren’t showing any motility. It may take several days for motility to return. It’s not unusual for intestines that were as badly damaged as hers to take a few days to recover. The…

    For the first time since the trail ride where Isis bruised her feet, I actually got to ride. Her rain rot has mostly cleared up and she has been doing much better. I’ve lunged her several times over the past week, and each time she has done very well. She seems to move a little…

  • Studs in a jar

    For those of us who grew up on a horse breeding farm, the directions on the Stud Suds jar make for hysterical reading. In this case, the “studs” refer to metal studs that can be screwed into the bottom of horseshoes like cletes. It doesn’t mean the jar will let me fit a stallion in…
