Ham & Potato Soup (335 for 1 1/2 cup)
Ingredients
3 peeled and diced red potatoes (330)
1/3 cup diced celery (5)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion (20)
3/4 cup diced cooked ham (400)
3 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules (30)
1/2 teaspoon salt & 1 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons butter (500)
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour (125)
2 cups milk (160)
1570/7 cups = 225 per cup
Directions
Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham and water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form until all of the milk has been added. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

Exercise: Thank goodness Steve took me to the gym...According the treadmill I ran 3.5 miles in 39 minutes, but my iPod said I ran 4.28 miles in the same time...I think I need to recalibrate my iPod...

11/09 ~ 120.4 lbs
I was glad to see 120.4 lbs on the scale this a.m....I ate pretty poorly over the weekend, but stuck with last week's meal plan & that at least paid off....
11/01 ~ Meal Plan
My battery is dead so I have no idea about my weight, but after a week of poor eating, having the stomach flu, and not feeling my usual self, I have declared that my old eating habits are NOT good for my system. Back to eating fresh!! Here is my meal plan for the week ~ I usually don't do this much pasta in one week, but with the stomach flu, noodles are the only thing that sounds good right now (as I am meal planning):
Monday:
Lunch ~ leftover Chicken noodle soup
Dinner ~ Penne Primavera
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Penne-Primavera/Detail.aspx
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 medium carrot, julienned
2 cups vegetable broth
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. When garlic is tender, remove from skillet and set aside. Place the broccoli and carrot in the skillet, and cook 2 minutes, just until heated through.
In a pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the penne pasta and heated crushed garlic clove. Cook for 5 minutes, or until pasta is almost al dente. Remove and discard garlic clove.
Transfer the partially cooked pasta and broth to the skillet. Mix in the peas. Cover skillet, and continue cooking 10 minutes over medium heat, or until pasta is al dente and vegetables are tender. Toss with the Parmesan cheese to serve.
Tuesday
Lunch ~ Lettuce, red pepper, avocado & ham wraps: This wrap is slightly altered from the one in the south beach diet book. I am going on a field trip with Ally & need something that will be easy & quick to eat.
Dinner ~ Veggie Lasagna
http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipe/pasta/veggie-lasagna/
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 1/2 cups zucchini, sliced
2 cups sliced fresh portobello mushrooms
1 cup fat-free ricotta
3 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 whole-wheat no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups prepared pasta sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup chopped, seeded tomato
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, zucchini and mushrooms; heat 5 minutes or until tender, stirring ( I think I am going to put this in the food processor after heating ~ I will let you know how that works out!!). Remove from heat; set aside. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan and pepper.
To assemble, place 3 lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Spoon half the ricotta mixture over the noodles.

Wednesday
Lunch ~ Guacamole Dip (FB Page 59)
Dinner ~ Tilapia with Mrs. Dash & Double Broccoli Quinoa
http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/double-broccoli-quinoa-recipe.html
Double Broccoli Quinoa
3 cups cooked quinoa
5 cups raw broccoli, cut into small florets and stems
3 medium garlic cloves
2/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 big pinches salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
Optional toppings: slivered basil, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese
Directions:
Heat the quinoa and set aside.
Now barely cook the broccoli by pouring 3/4 cup water into a large pot and bringing it to a simmer. Add a big pinch of salt and stir in the broccoli. Cover and cook for a minute, just long enough to take the raw edge off. Transfer the broccoli to a strainer and run under cold water until it stops cooking. Set aside.
To make the broccoli pesto puree two cups of the cooked broccoli, the garlic, 1/2 cup of the almonds, Parmesan, salt, and lemon juice in a food processor. Drizzle in the olive oil and cream and pulse until smooth.
Just before serving, toss the quinoa and remaining broccoli florets with about 1/2 of the broccoli pesto. Taste and adjust if needed, you might want to add more of the pesto a bit at a time, or you might want a bit more salt or an added squeeze of lemon juice. Turn out onto a serving platter and top with the remaining almonds, and some sliced avocado or any of the other optional toppings.

Good morning! :)
Last night I had slow-cooker chicken cacciatorie (it has mushrooms, but would be good without it) from page 289 in the 400-calorie fix book...it was sooooo good! The sauce needed to be a bit thicker, but I will definitely fix it again.

Not sure what I will do this morning...got up late & need to eat breakfast...may just take a walk or bike ride around the block.

Well tomorrow will mark the 5th month since changing my lifestyle...I am so happy with what I have accomplished in that time period!
I am beginning to think I will start logging my info in an actual journal instead of blogging it...maybe just log in every week to post my weight & jot down some notes or write about some recipes I used in my 400 calorie fix or the flat belly diet books...
I just seem to have gotten this calorie counting thing down. I will continue journaling (like I mentioned but in an actual book) to keep myself accountable, but now that I have been maintaining 117-120 for over a month, I feel like I have it under control & know how to control my portions!!
Activity: Ran/walked around the park for 40 minutes, abs & arms strength training (while Ally was at soccer camp).
