I'm back! Well, I really didn't go anywhere, but my hubby was home Wednesday-Sunday and I find it very difficult to hangout in the blogosphere when he is home. I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving. Now onto the weigh-in. My goal this week was to maintain, what with Thanksgiving and all that entails. So, when I stepped on the scale I was very happy to see another 2.8 pounds lost. This brings my total weight loss to 34.2 pounds. I have 29 pounds to go until I am at my goal weight.
This week's menu:
Saturday: Bean soup with the leftover ham bone (I brought a ham to my in-laws Thanksgiving dinner, so it was great to use it for soup.) - Actually, this is one of my hubby's recipes and he is the one that makes it - even better, huh?
Sunday: Ginger shrimp and green bean stir fry with rice
Monday: Leek and Golden Potato Soup (new recipe)
Tuesday: Spaghetti and oven roasted tomato sauce
Wednesday: Steak, broccoli, and baked potato
Thursday: My dad and step-mom are coming to dinner and bringing El Pollo Loco (Mexican grilled chicken)
Friday: I think we are going out to eat - love it!
I have to admit that I have never cooked with leeks before. I'm hoping the soup turns out well because it sounds delicious. Do you get intimidated when using a new ingredient? I'm feeling a little timid about it, but this cookbook has had almost all hits so far, so I have faith that the recipe should work out.

Oh my gosh, you lost 2.8 pounds over the holidays!! Wow! About the leeks, they are fabulous, just make sure you wash them well, sometime they have sand in between the tight stalks and leek and potato is one of my favorites, easy to make too!
Love the menu as usual. Good job on the weight loss too!
I 've never try leek and golden potato soup before. Sounds yum:)
You are so awesome for losing weight over the holidays! Great job! Your menu this week sounds delicious. I just managed to screw up a simple Hamburger Helper meal tonight :-)
Congratulations on losing weight over the holiday week! That is FANTASTIC! I wish I could say the same!
a big congrats to you for losing poundage over turkey day! You are my hero!! Menu sounds awesome!!
You ROCK. I wanted to ask you (feel free to email it to me) but do you just do the points on your own, do you attend meetings or do you do it online? And where do you get your recipes, from WW online? I really need to lose this extra baby weight. It is so time!
You're doing SO well! Congrats on your continued weight loss. You will be at goal before you know it!
Wow, way to go! You are awesome :D
BTW, can I come over on Sun and Mon? Sounds yummy ;P
Wow! I have not been keeping up with how you have been doing with the weight loss, I am so very impressed. I know how difficult it can be through the holidays but it sounds like you have it all planned out. Keep up the good work you must feel just fantastic.
Yay again for you!!! You are doing so great. I lose all willpower during the holidays LOL.
I actually just tried cooking shrimp for the first time last week (I know, super easy, but I was nervous). Your menu sounds so super delicious!
So happy for you on the weight loss! Write a post for us who struggle with eating after dinner. If I could master that, I'd have it made! Help!
I;ve never used leeks before either! Let us know how it turns out!
congrats on your weight loss! it is so hard this time of year!
i am intimidated no matter what i am cooking with. unless it comes in a mcdonald's bag and then i know it is delicious
Can I first say beotch I am so jealous!!.... girl I think I found them on my thighs... LOL
I like leeks. I use them a lot because I don't like onions. Weird I know. Creamy leek & potato soup is one of my winter faves
Good for you! That's awesome to lose so much. I am so impressed by your menu planning. Mann I could never stick to it!
This is fantastic! I love this blog. i have been trying menu planning for the last several weeks and i am getting a pretty good start. Have a fantastic holiday season
How did the leeks go? I have a whole garden full of them and use them all the time. The key is making sure that you wash them really well because there are little bits of grit stuck in them and can be very unpleasant to eat. I always slice them fairly thinly, and then put in a bowl of water and drain. Well done on the diet over Thanksgiving!
Leeks are so good, did you like it? I have a leeks and potato soup as a meatless meal
