Natural Weight Watcher

Interested in wanting to either lose weight or maintain your current weight? Here's a natural remedy...

Wear a thick belt around your waist. Use your belt as a weight monitoring tool. Whenever you eat too much, your belt will appear to be too tight. Whenever you lose weight, your belt will loosen.

Keep track of your weight progress by placing a notch on the inside portion of your waist. Use a screwdriver to dig into the belt, making a notch. As your waist size changes, make note by adding another notch to your belt.

Good luck!

Cheap and Super Healthy Soup

These days, everyone is looking for ways to stretch the dollar. It's not as difficult as you may think. Make your own homemade soup to last a few days for a fraction of the cost of commercially-prepared soups. Here's a well-tested recipe for split pea soup..It may not smell that good when being cooked, but the taste is well worth it!

Split Pea Soup
6 cups water
2 cups split peas
1/4 cup broccoli, diced
1/4 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup onions, diced
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning spices (oregano, rosemary, thyme and parsley)
2 Bay leaves, if desired

Place the water into a crockpot. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir thoroughly. Set the temperature to high. Cook for 5-6 hours.

Adding the vegetables from the beginning will allow them to "melt" into the peas, making a wonderful puree. If you want to bite into veggies, add the veggies during the last two hours of cooking.

Serve with bread, crackers and a salad for a complete meal.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge.
