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.

    Chronicles

    I’ve always been a writer, and it’s always made sense to me to deal with issues by writing. I was reading through old posts on here and discovered just how much I’ve captured of Isis’ saga on this blog. Same with Basette and Ambush, my old kitties. A friend here at work suggested pulling Isis’…

  • Farrier on Saturday

    Yesterday the farrier did Prize, Kasane, and Rajiyyah. Prize has a regular trim. Kasane and Rajiyyah both get front shoes. Rajiyyah is a pro at it, but this was Kasane’s third or fourth pair. Before the farrier arrived, I gave Kasane some Quietex (contains L-Triptophan, think same mellowing agent in turkey). We went into the…

  • Bay Mare Boogie!

    The good news continues (yay!). She drank water this morning. She seems to be handling everything well. The path out of the woods continues to brighten. She has been pawing whenever she comes back in from being outside — but it is out of boredom/pissiness rather than pain. She wants to go back outside and…

    The Bay Wonder Mare is showing her amazing recovery powers again. She’s picking up her toes and moving out with style. It’s amazing that she’s been on the Oroquin-10 for a week and she is already almost back to normal. Some of the people at the barn have commented that Isis looks like she has…
