Fitness Tip: Use your noggin.
Whether you want to loose weight or gain strength, it is important to journal. Here is why. Writing it down and getting out your feelings will allow you to recognize the source of the problem. You are not merely barbecue you eat to much (who said that?). You are fat because something inside you makes you eat too much. Weight gain and stagnation is just self-sabotage. Why do we get there? I cannot answer it. It may be guilt, shame or depression. Chances are your depression is not the cause but a result of something deeper. Find it. And when you find it you will feel free. Writing it down will help you find your way.
 
Food Tip: Check out Your Box
Look at the label people. I cannot tell you how many times people don’t realize how many calories they are consuming because they don’t read the label. Just because a can of soup for instance, looks like one serving, does not mean that it is. Make sure that you do not just read the numbers on the back and count the calories accordingly. Look at the serving size. It can be deceptive. Sometimes there are two serving when you think there is only one. It’s a mass conspiracy. I swear.

Here is the easy, breezy way of making this. Take the chicken and brown it a pan with oil. After it is in the pan for a minute, add carrots, celery. Let these sweat for a few minutes then dump the pan in a crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and let cook on low for four hours.
