My recipe is homemade. I broil the beef to remove any excess fat.

3 medium Carrots, 1/2" slices
1/2 c Celery, 1/2" slices
12 Mushrooms, sliced
1 lg Onion, 1/2" Cubes
2 med potatoes, 1/2" cubes
1 can Tomato soup
1 c Water
2 T Flour
1 T Italian Seasoning

Broil beef. Place all ingredients into slowcooker. Cook on low.

Servings: 6 (7 points) or 7 (6 points)


NOTE: This recipe can also be done in a roaster pan in the oven at 275 F for four hours.

Instead of Italian herb seasoning you may substitute 1 t each leaf oregano, thyme, rosemary.

I like to journal, it helps to keep me on track.

winter thank you for the recipe :)

Wish I knew what this flax bread you keep posting about was! Sounds interesting. We don't have it in this area.

Today I have burned into 5 flex points, but I'm ok with that as I have only used one other one this week, so have now used 6, not too bad.

Today:

22 points

Breakfast: 2 slices lite bread, 1
WW butter spray, 0
orange, 1
low fat cottage cheese, 2

Lunch:
roast beef on a roll (sprayed with butter spay and grilled), 7
salad, lite dressing, 1

snack:
meriegne (sp?) cookies, 1
WW chocoate cake, 1

dinner:
Pot Roast,
Gravy
mashed potatoes,
spinach
lite margarine

I forget the totals of this stuff individually, but with a WW dessert at 2 points, I will end the day using 5 flex points.
I did have an acitivity point earned today as well.
I feel good.
By the way, the scale went down here at home by 3 pounds this week so far, that's not an official weight in and could change significantly, but it was encouraging!

Linda - The Flax Bread is by Dempsters. I also like the one by Country Harvest. Each slice has 3 grams of fiber and taste good. Congratulations on the lost, as well as exercising. I still need to exercise. My plan is to start at 9:00 pm, WATP 1 mile, Yoga, and abdominals. I need to get rid of my menopot. If you haven't read the book "Fight Fat After Forty" by Pamela Peeke, I highly recommend it. The book explains in great detail what womens bodies go through during peri-menoupause and menopause. Exercise, as well as diet, is key to ridding yourself of the 'menopot.'

Great job too!
I've not deserted you... or is it desserted? Thought to ponder....
I weighed in yesterday at my meeting and lost 5.3 pounds!
I must be doing something right!
Will get back on line and post some food journals later, busy but staying on program!
Linda

I finally have a computer in working order. I installed Excel this morning, which means I have my food journal in working order. Now I know how many points I'm eating and earning, instead of guessing. I didn't know just how much I relied on that spreadsheet.
