L is for LOSER

I kept blinking at the # on the scale today at my Weight Watcher meeting. I knew I deserved a good week- I've been on a slump (stayed the same, up .6, down .4) for 3 weeks but HOLY TOLEDO! I lost 2.8 this week! Ok so here are my new totals-
Current Weight: 165.4 Total lost: 66.6 :) I have not stopped smiling since I got off that scale. :)




Off to make a BIG pot of Red Lentil Sweet Potato Curry- Here is the recipe! :)

Red Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry with Warm Pita Bread

1 tsp canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
1 bay leaf
1 ½ cups red lentils
3 cups of water
Whole wheat pita bread

1. In a large saucepan over high heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, and 3 to 4 minutes.

2. Add the sweet potato, ginger, garlic, curry powder and bay leaf and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the water with chicken bouillon and stir in the lentils. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the lentils break down and the sweet potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Season with salt.

3. While the potatoes and lentils are cooking, warm a stack of pitas. Use pita bread to scoop up curry…or grab a spoon!



BYE! :)
