Day 8 - Tribute to the Tour

In honor of the last day of the Tour d' France (not really) I cooked Stovetop Cassoulet from In a Flash. It was good, although the breadcrumb topping was a bit much. I think the amount used needs to correspond to the diameter of the pan. Mine must have been narrower than theirs, because the result of mine was a mouthful of dry crumbs. Yuk! If I had used less crumbs, though, it would have been perfect.

Disappointment this morning - I gained 1.5 lbs. How did that happen? Oh well, it's still 3.5 lbs. for the week, and that's not too bad.

I haven't mentioned yet the exercise part of this plan. I've been doing (don't laugh) the Wii Pro Active as my workout. I've done the 30-day challenge on the easy and intermediate levels, and have now started the INTENSE level. Ooohhhh! When you're finished rolling around the floor laughing your head off, remember that exercise is exercise, and it seems to work for me. So, while I may look goofy jumping up and down in front of the TV, I'm burning some calories. Since some magic potion isn't going to take away these extra pounds, it looks like I'll have to do it myself.
