Hi Dahlia I actually wrote a blog on the Tortilla Soup but posted late that night so few saw it. The tortilla soup was made from some left over Cilantro Chicken which was made from some left over Cilantro Pesto from the Salmon I had made. It was really good (the soup and Salmon and the Pesto). I used pumkin seeds instead of pine nuts in the pesto. Anyway I usually research online and take what I think are the best and healthiest ingredients. So I don't really follow recipes much. My latest blog tells what ingredients I used for the soup. My favorite soup from last cold season was a Cauliflower Gorgonzola soup. Thanks for reminding me. I love making healthy chili. Even though I am descended from Texas ranchers I put veggies in because they are good for you and are yummy. I use ingredients that are used in Mexican cooking such as pinto beans, black beans and garbanzo beans, chipolte chilies, tomatillos etc.

Hi gals, just wanted to say 'Hi' since I haven't been checking in lately.
I let the busy summer get the best of me, and I've gained weight and am having trouble getting back into a good 'diet' routine. I need to find something to get me motivated again. I just have no desire to track right now or plan, both of which I know I need to do to have success.0 -
ISTPAUL: Remember we are not dieting, we are changing our lifestyle and way of eating. I know you will
get back to it, just coming here shows you will be back again. I have gained too over the long weekend
and trying to get back on track. We can do this !!
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Didn't track yesterday but back at it today!!
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Probably not
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Sailed back in the pouring rain and wasn't scared even
though there was thunder and lightening.:noway:
What would I have done differently? Not had ice cream last night for dessert at our BBQ.
What are today's personal goals? Getting back to ticker weight, stick to strength training w/ weights
and cardio.

Well I got on the dreaded scale this morning. My Nutritionist recommended that I weigh in only
once week, but I think I will go back to weighing everyday. For me it keeps me accountable,
and I can get a handle on what I am eating and what to cut back on. So I gained 3.4 lbs.
from last week's weigh in. Now I am up 8.2 lbs to get down to my ticker weight. So my
goal is to get down to my ticker weight. I will not change it, it gives me a goal to reach.
I will continue with weights 3 times a week and cardio on the other days, and Sunday as
a rest day. Lets all be honest here, we are in the same boat trying to sail to victory and
the journey is not easy. Good luck my friends:flowerforyou:
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? We had dinner at my daughter's I did not complete
my diary last night. That will also be changing.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, did do my weights.
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Still taking care of my daughter's cat while she is
on vacation. He is a little devil with a cute face.
What would I have done differently? Completed my diary
What are today's personal goals? Cardio today- done, drink my water, make good choices
