  • Congrats to all the losers!!!

    I made it down 1.6 this week, to my unending surprise. It was an awful, off-plan week. So I have to get it together to not show a gain next week.

    Since it's been so cold, I've been trying to use my crockpot more. I made this applesauce chicken recipe from the Crockpot365 blog yesterday. I would add more seasoning to the sauce ... but it was delicious and took less than 5 minutes to put together. 7 WW Points Plus for 1/4 of the recipe.

    From http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008...en-recipe.html

    --4 frozen chicken breast halves or thighs (I used 2 of each)
    --1 1/2 cups of applesauce
    --1 T dried onion flakes, or 1 yellow onion, chopped finely
    --1 T apple cider vinegar
    --1/4 tsp cinnamon
    --1/2 tsp black pepper
    --2 cloves garlic, minced
    --1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, I used them, and added more to the adult servings)

    The Directions.

    If your pot cooks fast, err on the lower end of cooking time. (Shanhat note: Mine cooks slow.)

    Put the frozen chicken pieces into your crockpot. Add the onion (if you are using the dried onion, wait and add it to the applesauce). In a bowl, mix the applesauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices together. Pour on top of the chicken.

    Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4. (Shanhat note: Low is way better than high b/c then the chicken gets nice and shreddy)

    Serve with rice or quinoa. (Shanhat note: I used brown rice and shredded the chicken and mixed it all together)
  • Sorry for all the cold weather reports...here in cloudy Houston, it is 72º. I have no excuses for not being outside...

    Just checking in to make sure I had posted my weight on Wednesday after WI...
  • Good luck on all the weigh in's this morning. It's about 5F outside and I have to head to the grocery store for the weeks food. Time to start planning out our meals
  • Sorry I forgot last week but I already filled mine in for this week
  • Hello Ladies-
    Week 3 is nearly in the books.
    TOM is kicking my butt these past few days, so I'm posting a small gain.

    Survived 4 10yr old boys as my son had a sleep over last night. Lots of xbox & movies.

    Now I'm hunkering down & watching football. I'll be back later tonight.

    I have been watching football all day!!!! I went "hot spinning" to justify it. But you deserve a day off way more for fielding a sleepover.

    GO GIANTS!!!
