I almost completely forgot that it was Weigh Me Wednesday time! Maybe I was subconsciously blocking it out of my mind. 🙂 I went to the Dr. this week, so in the past 4 weeks, I gained 5 lbs. ouch. I have not gained since last week luckily, but it’s always hard to hear the weight gain even if it’s for a good cause. If I gain 1 lb. per week the rest of the pregnancy, I still will not weigh as much as I did with my other 2 children at the end. Thank goodness I had lost the weight before I got pregnant.
Since I haven’t felt well and am just now starting to get some energy back and not wanting to puke everyday, I really need to start walking. The weather has been so beautiful here lately too, that I hope I can gain the strength in my head to just walk! Are there any exercises that you do at home when you just don’t feel like getting out?
I have a variation of a pork chop recipe that my family absolutely loves that I would like to share with you:
Broiled Pork Chops
Ingredients:
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside half of the sauce.
Preheat broiler. Brush both sides of the chops with sauce. Place chops on broiling pan rack. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 4 minutes on each side. Brush with more sauce. Continue broiling, turning and basting every 3 to 4 minutes, until juices run clear. Serve with reserved sauce.
My progress:
