    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.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I added running intervals back into my walk again
    What would I have done differently? more water
    What is today's personal goals? 1 hour exercise 6 days a week, water, healthy food

    Sun- need some exercise today - 60 minute walk
    Mon - Aquafit - 60 minutes
    Tues - walk or weight training - 60 minutes
    Wed - Aquafit - 60 minutes

    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.
