    Oh and I added my chili recipe to MFP so i figured i would share with you ladies!! --only 126 cals for 1 cup :love:


    Chili is amazing...especially on a cold winter day!! it warms the heart and soul but also can add to your waistline pretty quickly!!!---In an attempt to enjoy chili without the guilt i made my own recipe!!! Its a huge recipe so its great for freezing pre-made portions and microwaving for convienience!!!(makes 20 servings) My chili only has 136 calories and 1g of fat per serving---and trust me this chili isnt missing anything!!!

    2 cans Rotel original
    1 can Bush's chili beans in mild sauce
    1 can Bush's chili beans in hot sauce

    1/2 box Ronzoni smart taste elbow macaroni
    1 package Jennie O extra lean ground turkey breast
    Mexene chili powder to taste
    Crushed red pepper to taste

    So I think I have found the culprit to why I feel heavier....WATER RETENTION! Ok, so I feel a little better...because I am like "Hey! I am burning crazy calories....eating well...whats the deal?" So I may not see it on weigh-in day....but my one week mark is actually Sunday..so we will see if it comes off by then!

    Oh Snowflakes...
    Well, all of my good intentions went down the drain today. I've been staying within my calories, working out, doing well. I got some bad news last night and relationship troubles meant that today I totally binged. And you know what? I don't feel better, I just feel even more disappointed AND now I don't want to see my weigh in numbers!
    I'll be weighing in on Saturday when I get back to my home scale. I wish I could exercise this late to exercise off these calories like Krys does!!

    Don't beat yourself up about it - all you can do now is pick yourself up. Don't give up on your goals - take all those emotions and work them out at the gym or with a video or for a walk! Just don't give up! We are all here for you. :flowerforyou:
