Being totally serious today. I am lucky that I haven't gained any as bad as I have been the last few days. But I really want to hit that 30 lbs mark and I only have 1 lb to go!!! So I gotta do this! It doesn't help that I'm swamped with school so I'm spending a lot of time at my computer. I haven't been moving much.
I made the most amazing soup last night. I have to figure out carbs for it. It is loaded with veggies - but totally legal. 1/2 head of cabbage, a few carrots (I kept those at a minimum since they are higher in carbs), four sticks of celery, a small onion and about two cups of diced ham. I also added rutabaga because I love the potato- like texture of them (but its totally optional). Loads of cracked black pepper, two bay leaves and 6 cups of chicken broth. That's it. Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. And it was amazing!!! Everyone in my house went nuts over it. If you like cabbage, you have to try this. Sound too simple - but it seriously was so good.
UPDATE: I figured the carb count to be about 7 carbs per serving - each serving is 1-1/4 cups. It serves six. That's just amazing!! I really thought it would be higher, but I did the math twice and both times it came out to be just below 7 - so I rounded it to 7!! Amazing!

2 eggs with 2tbsp sharp cheddar = 3C
1 cup of green tea with h/c = 0C
1 serving of cabbage soup = 7C
1 very small chef salad (about 5 bites, it was leftover!) = 2C
1 thick slice of salami = 2C
1 ounce of muenster cheese = 1C
TOTAL = 15C (so far)
