6 Pack 6 Week 7 and a Bonus Recipe

Who is going to blink first? Once again Chrissy and Lisa tied with a perfect score of 72.

If they remain tied after next weeks results, it's going to come down to the scale. There is no hiding then!

A big shout out to Robin and Evelyn this week! These ladies overcame some big adversity this week as they dealt with some injury issues. They didn't use this as an excuse, but did what they could this week to stay on track. I can't begin to express how impressed I am with their perseverence.

Look, life is not perfect, and you are not going to be in the perfect situation all the time. Things can happen that will knock you off track - if you let them. Life happens - it is how you respond to it that counts. Robin and Evelyn could have used their circumstances to throw them totally off track. They could have had an "all or nothing" attitude, and given up "until next week". But they realized that just because they couldn't train for a few days didn't mean they couldn't eat well, or log their food diary, or take their vitamin. Well done ladies!

I also wanted to give an extra shout out to Evelyn, who told us this week she reached a milestone she hadn't seen in 20 years! Ask her about it!

As always, I commend everyone who continues to faithfully turn in their scoresheets every week, regardless of their points. Keep building those habits and reaping the rewards of your efforts!

Ok, here's that recipe I promised.

This is a wonderful recipe taken from the first volume of Gourmet Nutrition. Easy to prepare, and cooks in the crock pot so it's ready for you when you get home from work!

Peasant Stew (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

Instructions:

In a large skillet (cast iron is the bomb) brown the cubed steak and minced garlic in half the olive oil, just until the outside of the meat is brown. When the beef is browned, add the water and bouillon cube to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then pour mixture into the crock pot.

With the remaining oil, stir-fry the turnips, scallions and carrots in the skillet on medium high heat for 5 minutes, then transfer to the crock pot.

Add the remaining ingredients to the crock pot, cover and simmer on low overnight (7 or 8 hours) or on high 4 to 5 hours.

Quick, easy and delicious!
