Dear Jennifer Hudson (Week 41)

Dear Jennifer Hudson,

Hello! How are you? :0)

I've had a rather swell week. We finished our 2nd week of the 8 week challenge at my WW meeting...just 6 more weigh-ins until Thanksgiving. :-0

This morning I was down 3.2 pounds for the week.

With less than 20 pounds to go, I am in full countdown mode...19 pounds away from goal-weight baby!!! :0)

I have just been exercising once a day these past couple of weeks. I am taking a Spin class 3 times a week, I am running outside 2 times a week, and I have been walking/climbing Mt. Helix 1 time a week.

The Mt. Helix thing is a new commitment for me. On Tuesday nights, Wyatt is in dance class for 2 hours, and so instead of sitting in the waiting room at the dance studio for 2 hours, Beatrice and I head over to my mom's house and we get to have a challenging-weekly-walk together now. That has been a fun change the last couple of weeks. :0)

In the land of food...

We were given some bone-in and skin-on chicken breasts...2 things I am not usually a fan of, but this past week, I embraced them. I first poached the chicken with some vegetables and made a delish chicken stock. And then I cubed up the chicken for 3 different recipes...

1. Chicken salad sandwiches...

 
2. Homemade Chicken Pot Pies...

 
 
3. Undecided...LOL...I've packaged up the leftover cubed chicken and have frozen it for another time. :0)

My husband is a bit of a comfort-food-connosseur and so when he praised the Chicken Pot Pies as "The best he has ever had!!!," I couldn't help but to be proud of those little puff-pastry-beauties. :0)

Any-who, that's the down-low on the up-and-up!

I hope your next 7 days find you WW-point-conscience and active!

Your Biggest Fan,
Elizabeth
