Belly be gone!

…and i made my first chicken salad this week!  i only discovered the stuff w/in the past year - before ww!  it was yummy - we had lots of chicken leftover (some rotisserie, some from chicken soup that was made b/c i was kinda sick - more on that in a minute).  so one night DH had a meeting and i decided i was gonna try my first chicken salad.  here’s what i did from a recipe:

chicken

mayo

curry

soy sauce

pineapple

grapes, cut in half

celery

almond slices

i didn’t want to open the water chestnuts, but the recipe called for it

i just threw it all in a bowl and mixed it up.  was pretty good!  so good that i made enough for the next day for lunch!!!

so, i’ve been battling a cold all week.  but it never fully developed.  that’s b/c i’m the worst when it comes to colds — i take forever to get a full-blown cold, and then it takes forever to leave me!!!  so i stopped working out this week - didn’t want to make things worse — and tried to get a little more sleep.  have been taking echinacea, vitamin c, cold eeze, airborne, alka seltzer cold.  you name it, i probably took it!!!  and, we made some chicken soup - with matzah balls, of course - this week.  i’ve had it for lunch just about every day!!!

i feel better - probably b/c i actually got a lot of sleep last night.  we’ll see how things go…i want to go to spin class tomorrow.  hopefully i’ll still feel this way in the morning!

AND…all that soup has led me to drop a couple pounds this week!!!  that, or all the liquids i was drinking trying to flush the bug outta me!

just got home from seeing juno.  hilarious movie!  all i knew about it was that it was about a pregnant teenager, and that it was supposed to be good.  it was hilarious!!!  it was all about the dialogue.  hilarious.  a little on the profane side…so if teenagers w/smart (i.e. profane) mouths is not your thing, then this movie is probably not for you.  hilarious!
