Phase 2 - Day 19-25

I've been really bad at keeping up with the blog. So I'm going to start posting on Tuesdays my progress made from the previous week. Instead of listing my daily menu, I'm going to list my favorite meal and the recipe.

Favorite meal:

(166 calories)

Chicken Curry with Water Chestnuts in Lettuce Bowls

4.5 oz chicken

2 Tbls chicken broth

1/2 small can water chestnuts

Butter leaf lettuce, separated into little "bowls"

red curry paste to taste

ginger to taste

sugar free soy sauce to taste

garlic to taste

Cut chicken up into bite size pieces and cook in garlic & chicken broth. Add water chestnuts, ginger, red curry, and soy. Render down into a thick sauce. Add water if it is too rich/salty. Once cooked to desired consistency, scoop into lettuce bowls and enjoy!

Weight Loss: 3.2 pounds last week

Total Weight Loss: 17.6 pounds (not too shabby for only 25 days)

Tip of the Day: Stress causes your body to hold the weight. Try de-stressing. Easier said than done, I know, but try. I've been taking St. John's Wort to help alleviate stress and it helps.
