First week of Kickstart is complete and I managed a 1.1 lbs loss! It could have been more BUT, the weekend, as always, threw me off. Need to work on that.
My #9 commitment is to do a YouTube exercise video twice a week. I totally didn't do that one at all. I decided to make a slight change on that to any exercise other than a walk twice a week. I just did some desk exercises, so that will be better! Let's hope it's a consistent week and a much better weekend!
I've done really well with packing lunch and making dinner. Hubby's been really happy with the dinner part! Tonight we're having ham & bean soup in the slow cooker! It's not my mother's homemade type, but it definitely comes close:
1 lb. ham (I use the ham slices)
1 lb. bag dry northern beans (no need to soak them, just rinse them off)
2 -32 oz. chicken broth (I also add a little water)
Onion (optional - I don't)
THAT'S IT!! Throw in all in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. You do not need to soak the beans to soften them ahead of time, just put the dry beans right in the slow cooker.
I got the original recipe from: 4 Sons Are Us
And yeah, you won't even know it's chicken broth! I imagine you could also use vegetable broth.
