Last week when I made broccoli cheddar soup, I fixed myself a bowl and realized that I was sadly missing out on the crusty bread my family was eating with their soup.  I needed a bread substitute and I needed one fast… like before my soup got cold, so I decided to try Low Carb Layla’s One Minute Bread (link above).  I made the bread exactly as she directed, but once it was finished I split it in half, buttered both sides of each half, and toasted it in a skillet.  The entire process took me maybe 5 minutes and it turned out wonderful!  Toasting the bread gave it the crustiness that I wanted and made it perfect for dipping in soup.  My husband, who is not eating low-carb, even liked it and compared its taste to that of a Triscuit cracker.  So for any of you eating low-carb and craving bread, you should definitely try out Layla’s recipe.  

Week 4 Weigh-In

     This week was a pretty easy week, I made an meal plan and stuck to it, which helped keep me on track because I didn’t have to figure out at the last minute what to eat.  I did not manage to exercise beyond the first few days of the week because I have been sick since with a really bad cold.  As soon as I feel well again I will be putting a bigger emphasis on exercising.  

     Anyways, I did my weigh-in this morning and have lost 3.3 lbs. this week.  This puts me at a total loss of 4.3 lbs. in four weeks.  I think that meal planning helped out a lot this week, so tomorrow I will post my week 5 meal plan.  

     Well, it is back to the couch for me so I can rest up and get well.  I hope everyone has a great day!
