Thought for the day:
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will. - Vince Lombardi
Yesterday was weigh in day, the scale didn't budge. I could get upset about this but I won't because I worked out hard last week, and noted a non-scale victory. My waistline is 1" smaller than when I measured a month ago and my hips are 1/2" smaller. Whoopee! The physical activity is paying off even though it wasn't reflected by the scale.
Today I went shopping and though I only bought two pairs of new athletic shoes, I couldn't resist trying on a few things one size smaller. The stuff I tried on in the smaller size fit, though slightly snug in the derriere, my biggest trouble spot. I passed them up this time because I just can't justify getting a smaller size to only wear for a few weeks. It's getting close spring and I hope I'll be at least another size smaller next fall..
It does feel good knowing I can go down a size this spring.
Here is a great soup recipe:
Zippy Cheese Soup
6 cups of Fat Free Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
2 16 oz packages of frozen California Medley Vegetables (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Red Bell Pepper)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 can of Rotel (or diced tomatoes with chiles)
10 oz of 2% (reduced fat) Velveeta
Cooking spray
Spray a 4-5 quart saucepan or Dutch oven with cooking spray and saute the onion and garlic until soft and transparent. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, add the frozen veggies and Rotel. Cook until veggies are tender and hot.. slowly add the Velveeta cheese. Enjoy...
Serving size 1 Cup = 2 Points Plus
Also makes a great Baked Potato topper.

Good attitude, and I bet you feel healthier and stronger, even though the scale didn't budge.
