Today is a WHIRLWIND day! I think it was the fact that I had a coffee yesterday at 2:30pm or so but I was wired! I could not fall asleep until well after 1am! And then I got up a whole hour before my alarm went off this morning, ready and raring to go! It's a VERY busy day! FINALLLYYYYYYYYY the last of my furntiure is finally being delivered...they better not screw this one up or I'm going to blow a fuse! I'm also getting a delivery of groceries this morning. Then I am running over to see my LCSW, praying that I can make it before my 10am appointment. And then tonight I am going out with my parents to Outback Steakhouse. I've never been there but I've already been over the menu and I planned my day around having their California Chicken Salad, which tickled my taste buds! Needless to say with everything going on, I will be running from dawn to dusk!!!
So let's start with weigh in... I weighed in on Saturday having lost the weight/fluid that I had put on the previous week and a half after a fender bender with a certain wagon. So I wasn't expecting miracles...but when I got on today I was pleasantly suprised! I also had my camera in the bedroom so I actually snapped a quick picture of the scale after I stepped off (don't want the few ounces that the camera ways to reflect on my weight, hahaha!).

| -2 pounds from last week's weigh in!!!!!!!!!! |
Heck yes! I am very happy with that! How can I complain!? I've been working hard and it paid off!
Over the last couple weeks I have been doing my very best to eat cleaner. I have relied heavily on Jenny Craig, Smart Ones and Lean Cuisine for quick easy meals. And don't get me wrong, I do love them! I always have a couple in my freezer if I really don't feel like cooking (I feel its setting myself up for success, choosing a frozen meal over ordering out). But I've been cooking chicken, doing my delicious taco salads, and last night I made a fantastic dinner!!! Here's the recipe!!
Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin
Serves: 6 (approx 2.6-3oz serving)Ingredients
2lb Pork Tenderloin - I only had a 1.6 pounder, it was a nature's promise organic pork tenderloin!1 (1oz) Packet Vegetable Soup Mix - Or onion soup mix.
3/4 cup Red Wine

Pork tenderloin does cook up so well in the crock pot! I did one this week:
ReplyDelete2 lb tenderloin
BBQ Rub
1 Large Sliced Onion
1/2 Can of Beer
Cook on low all day (Or keep warm-my slow cooker is an over achiever)
Shred & serve with a tiny bit of BBQ sauce. Yum!!
MMmmm...that pork tenderloin looks delish!! I've been stuck in a cooking rut, so I may have to give that a try. Good job on the weight loss. Pounds loss is always good.
