OK - So I had the Pea Soup for lunch and I am still in a state of shock! It was good. Oh my goodness, maybe you have to really like pea soup to begin with like I do to like it but I tell you it was good! I had my huge salad that I have at least once a day to begin with then the soup. I feel like I am going to burst, I am so full.
I already told "the daughter" about my fantastic salads and made her one which she liked. The key to it is variety. I load up a bowl with different kinds of lettce, spinach, and broccoli slaw (all pre-torn bagged - convenience is important to success). Then I add to that pickled beets (6 for 15 calories) 3 green olives, a pinch of roasted sliced almonds (in the salad dressing section at the grocery store) then if I have cucumber, celery, tomatoes, peppers, etc. Finally to top it off I sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, about a tablespoon or less. Just enough to give it a taste. I count all this as 2 vegetables and then a fat for the feta cheese and the olives. It's great and fills me up!

ReplyDeleteHey; cool blog, Steph. Your mom gave me this link.
ReplyDeleteI've lost 34 lbs since Jan. 8 on NutriSystem. My goal is 50! I'll get there sometime in July given the way it is going.
Easy way for me to do it. Without NutriSystem, I hated to cook and ate badly! This is easy and good.
