Weight is steady - up to 126lbs and feeling good about it. I've increased my cardio and weight training to about 50min. a day, now that I'm feeling normal in the morning - but the intensity is way down. I have a new-found love for chili. I want it all the time. I made a healthy low-sodium crock pot batch and it turned out great. Still looking for spicy recipes - send 'em if you got 'em. My other love is one of my client's Chicken Divan Soup - I did the low fat cream cheese and low fat/sodium chicken broth. I also decreased the chicken broth to about 40oz.
