Hello everyone! I am proud to say that I have officially made it past my first goal of 15 lbs! You would be amazed at how much better losing just 15 lbs. can make you feel! I feel lighter and have more energy than I have had in a while. I have a long way to go- but man it feels good to have reached my first goal!
I also found a recipe for a great crock-pot meal. You should give it a try- seems like it would be spicy, but it really isn't. I personally love spicy food so next time I make it I am going to try and make it a little spicier, but the overall flavor of it was wonderful!
pic and recipe came from here.
