Ok guys, I love Blogger. However, there is no data storage here, so I have to move to a new site so that Tom and I can TALK to you, as well as having me WRITE at you.
I have our new site up and running.
www.hittingyourweight.com
The website is just getting started, but all new content will be posted there.
Thanks for reading.

Dr. Jason's Chili
This has been a pretty popular request, so I tested it out today and here's the result:
It makes about 10 cups of chili. Nutritional content.
WHOLE BATCH 1500- Calories
Serving size - side = 1 cup / 150 Cal, main course = 2 cups / 300 Cal
Ingredients:
Seasoning: 2 teaspoons of each: coriander, chili powder, oregano, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. Combine these in a small bowl.
3 medium onion - diced fine
1 red pepper - chopped
4 ribs of celery - chopped
4 carrots - either grated or shredded in food processor
1 28 oz can Diced Tomatoes
1,25 # ground turkey breast
4 chicken Andouille sausage (if this is too spicy it's ok to substitute turkey Italian sausage) - sliced into coins
1/4 cup chicken stock
6 cloves minced garlic
Directions:
1) Heat Dutch oven to medium-high heat
2) Add onions, stir for about 1 minute, so onion does not stick
3) Cook the onion until slightly browned
4) Add 1/8 cup of chicken stock, celery and pepper
5) Cook for about 7 minutes, until celery gets a little opaque
6) Add Sausage and cook until sausage is cook all the way through, if the veggies start to stick, add a little stock - stir frequently - about 7 min
7) Empty everything into large bowl
8) Add garlic
9) Cook about 30 sec
10) Add about 2 tablespoons stock and scrape up any bown bits in Dutch oven
11) Add ground turkey
12) Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey - cook through - about 5 min
13) Add seasoning mix and stir for about 60 sec
14) Add carrots and tomatoes and cook for about 2 min
15) Add the veggies and sausage that were set aside
16) Bring to a simmer for about 2 min, then lower heat to low and cover.
17) Cook for about an hour, checking to be sure there is enough liquid and that the chili is not sticking to bottom of Dutch oven, add stock if too dry
18) OPTIONS:
- if too spicy, add 6 tablespoons ketchup
- Ok to serve with 1 oz partially skim cheese- like Mozzarella
- Love legumes? Add canellonni beans, or black beans, or pretty much any bean
Share and enjoy!

Pretty sore today. I had originally thought that today would be a great day to get a massage. Doesn't look like that is happening.
Instead, I am working in my test kitchen to get a Light Chili recipe for you guys. I don't use recipes for my chili, and I tend to like it pretty spicy, so I wanted to practice a bit and get it right. So that when I write it down, it's just the way I want it.
Also, I have a unique opportunity for exercise today. Yardwork. UPDATE AT BOTTOM!
I have a medium sized city yard. Kristin and I do a ton of gardening in this space. I need to get all the leaves (that I used as cover against the winter) into the bin, then shred them, then get them into the composter.
First I have to empty the bins, and the composter, and I need to get all the leaves raked up, etc. etc. etc.
I will wear my HR monitor and we can see how much I burned.
Meal #1
Coffee cream and sugar - 100
1/2 bagel, 1 oz cream cheese
410 Cal
Meal #2
1.5 cup turkey chili (not quite done turkey chili, that is), I should have the calorie total for this by tonight
225 Cal
Snack
GREEN TEA!
1/2 cup turkey chili - I think I'm going to have a lot of this today . . .
1/2 roll
150 Cal
Meal #3
I am guessing this is going to be more turkey chili, but I will edit this in later.
Indeed - 2 cups chili
300 Cal
OK, so gardening in the city. This is raking leaves, sweeping, shoveling, hoeing and a bunch of tilling for the veggie plot (about 10x5).
1 hour, 45 min
avg HR = 108
max HR = 126
Total calories - 740
That is pretty good. Just wait until I need to bring in more paving pebbles, or topsoil. I've been known to bring home 40 bags in a long afternoon. I will totally be keeping my HR monitor on when I'm working hard outside!

I got essentially no sleep last night. No idea why. Kristin drove the kids and that gave me another hour, thank God. Got to the gym, just in time, but had a great workout with Courtney, treadmill conference with Tom, then another hour shootin' hoops by myself.
Meal #1
Last night I ate.
I had about 2 cups frosted flakes - 250
1/2 Peach - 45
1 oz Ham - 100
1 oz Cheese - 100
Total 495
Meal #2
Chicken Wrap - 250 Cal
Beef Sandwich - 375 Cal
Total = 625
Snack
Blueberry, banana, peach, smoothie, 1/2 scoop protein = 215 Cal
So far = 1335, which is a lot, but I'm ok with that, since I had a good workout day. Still, a 900 Cal dinner would totally trash that. So - some extra protein, but as little fat as possible tonight and I should be ok. Maybe I will up the fiber a little too, to help out the profile of carbs a little bit. We'll see. . . more to come.
Meal #3
Chicken - 5 oz or so - 250 cal
Risotto - 150 Cal (not very much)
Smoothie - 250 Cal
Total = 650
Total for the day =1985
This was a bad diet day, I think. But with a 1800 Cal burn, I wanted to be a little on the higher end. I would rather have been 1600, but /shrug.
The rest of the week is all about the diet. I am going to hammer home 1200-1300 every day. Then get real low on Friday, have a great weigh in on Sat (I hope). If I can squeeze 3 pounds (unlikely) I will be down to 253, which will be 50# down from when I started the Largest Loser in June '09. That would be cool.

Today I am not really working out. Goin into work a little early for staff meeting, and did some light workouts over the weekend. So today I'm gonna recover just a little. To offset that I need to really watch my calories. I ate a decent breakfast (though not a lot of protein) so I will need to be a little bit lighter the rest of the day.
Meal #1
Muffin - 350 Cal
Toast - 110 Cal
Ham - 1 oz - 100 Cal

I am taking Alyson to a birthday party. Sometimes it's a 'drop-off' and sometimes it's a parents hang-out event. I'm bringing my gym bag in case it's a drop-off. Otherwise, I'll go to the gym after the party. The eral goal will be trying to NOT EAT anything at the party. I had a big brunch (500 cal) and an early snack (250 Cal) - so I'm full before the party. I hope that helps.
Drop off party! Woot! I got to the gym for about 90 minutes , 500 Cal. Not super high energy workout (I did lift a little too), but it counts!
