2011 weight loss goals

Strive to do something every day that will help me be more healthy and lose weight. Yes, I could just put be more healthy, but for me, being more healthy is plain and simple. Losing weight. Any doctor would say the same. Of all the things I can do to improve my health, losing weight is the most important for me right now. I will strive every day to...

1-take (2) vitamins
2-stretch
3-15 min of exercise (something, anything!)
4-drink 8 glasses of water
5- eat a serving of fruit or veggie with every meal or snack
6-avoid 'fake' foods (anything with basically no nutritional value other than calories)

307.8 Refried beans

Down another .4 .....I could get used to this! I'm bracing myself for troubled water ahead, though.

I wanted to share this recipe I found for homemade refried beans. I love refried beans, but with the lard and the sodium, it's not the best choice for weight loss. This one is, though! I tried it on Sat. and have been eating it all week. It's delicious and totally good for you!

1 pkg dry pinto beans
salt, pepper, cumin and a dash of cayenne.

I started mine in the crock pot the night before on low and they were ready that afternoon. You could also start them on the stove at lunch and they'll be ready for dinner, or the crock pot in the morning for dinner. I added the salt to the water, so they kind of flavored the beans as they cooked. I also did not use the cayenne, just because we didn't have any. Once they were soft, I added the spices and used the new immersion blender I got for Christmas to mush them all up.

Big thanks to the 'Yummy and delicious recipe exchange' on facebook for introducing the recipe to me. :~)
