Chicken and Barley Stew *hurk*

November 16, 2006 at 2:27 pm (Soul Food)

Yeah, so, today seems to continue my run of bad luck when it comes to trying some new (to me) NS meals. Lunch was Chicken and Barley Stew. Hey, I thought it sounded good. I like chicken. I like stew. I even like barley! So, what could go wrong? Well, the stew was okay except for the over abundance of barley flavor. Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad, but it was kind of a fake barley taste too. I assume it would be like feeding a horse “barley flavored hay.” Sure, it has a barley like flavor, but that doesn’t make it a chicken and barley stew!

Well, I decided to make a quick weigh in this morning. For having a few days of business trip and a weekend of gluttony, the results were not as devastating as I thought they would be (basically, I’ve ‘maintained’ the weight loss I’d started even though I’ve been bad). Today saw me at 281 pounds. That’s 19lb below where I started. Decent results, considering, yet a long, long way to go!

    LOL – Sometimes the NS meals taste beter the second time you try them….. seriously! hehe At least that’s what happened when I tried the Chicken Barley stew, not good the first but I gave it a second try and it wasn’t as bad as I remembered it!? Congrates on maintaining your weight loss even when you werent on the plan!
