MyWW Purple Plan Weigh in and Check In

Happy Saturday friends! It is time again for weigh in!  To be honest, after all the Christmas eating and such, I wasn't sure I wanted to weigh in, but I committed to do it so I got up and went to my WW Studio.  Apparently listening to my body helped a lot this year!  I was down 2.2 lbs!  I am a bit in shock because I did indulge on some candy and desserts and some bread, but for the most part, I listened to my body and when I was full, I handed the plate off.  This is a big thing for me.  As of almost a year ago today, I was 182.4.  As of today, I am down to 171.2.  I have lost 11.2 pounds this year.  I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but considering everyday was not an OP day and I did indulge here and there, living life and enjoying some ice cream and desserts, I will not complain.  This means I am almost halfway to my goal weight of 135.  I am at my lowest weight during my married life.  My mindset is changing which is a good thing.  I'm still eating certain things like butter, etc. and I am not starving or eating lots of processed foods, which is also a positive.  I am under construction and am a work in progress.  Finding ways to make this plan work for me is huge and I'm proud of my efforts!  Looking forward to conquer some things in 2020!

    FANTASTIC!!!! I have that ONLY word as well but I know we both shouldn't. Any loss is a loss and over 10 is fantastic!!! A lot of people gain over the year but due to mind full eating most of the time you have a loss.

    That's wonderful! Eleven pounds for the year is actually great: that's almost one pound for every month of the year. I finally feel like my mindset is changing too, so I am hopeful for 2020.

My Favorite Instant Pot Recipe is...Collab

  A big THANK YOU to Kim over at  A Girl and Her Phone  for putting together this collaboration!  This time we are doing our favorite Instant Pot recipe.  I will be honest and say that I have not made Fried Rice in the Instant Pot before but it is a family favorite!  I used this  Easy Instant Pot Hibachi Fried Rice  as my guide.  We had brown basmati rice that had already been cooked that I needed to use, as well as some shredded chicken that I had on hand.  Also, I used the veggies from a Stir Fry Teriyaki Kit but not the sauce.  This was definitely a good choice for my crew!  Looking forward to making this again!   Here's how I modified the recipe to make it work for me: Sesame oil - 1Tbsp Bragg Organic coconut liquid aminos - 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter - 1Tbsp Egg(s) - 4item(s) Stir fry vegetables without sauce - 9 cup(s) Cooked brown rice - 4 cup(s) Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast(s) - 8oz I added the sesame oil, cooked down the onions and veggies.  Then added the butter an
