I have been doing really well. Although I did snack on some chips over the weekend. But I added the points and was totally honest with myself. I have to admit tho' when I am camping I eat less, and that is not a good thing. I eat under the points, which leaves my body is a state of "plateau". Which is where I was for almost three weeks. I don't know what it is about camping that makes me lose my appetite. I think I am just too busy doing other things to pay attention. It is frustrating. I have to think "you have to eat, go to the cooler and eat". I did a long drive yesterday (600 km) and for breakfast I cut up two nectarines, one apple and a bananna. It was lovely to snack on that as I was driving through just beautiful country. I was lucky to find a place to eat a late lunch that catered to those of us Albertans that don't eat beef.

So today I am eating my soup. This is what is in it:

One tin of super hot tomatoes with chillis
2 cups broccoli
1 cup carrots
1 cup kernal corn
2 cloves of garlic
1 cup snow peas
1 red onion
vege stock
1 pkg of Knorr vege soup mix
various spices

I like to sweat my spices in a couple table spoons of vege stock then add my onion and garlic. I don't add salt because the tin of tomatoes and the vege stock have enough in it for my taste.

It is a very good soup, high in fibre, low in fat and spicy!!!

I am enjoying the recipes. Tonite I am making a vege stir fry... yummy
