Can I get a yeehaw?! I have hit my goal, BUT I can’t stop there. I want to lose 5 more lbs. on top of that. Since I hit and beat my goal, I don’t have that far to go though. Yippee! I can do 4.2 lbs. for sure. On another note, the baby is weaning for me, which means I know that this can be the time when weight starts to come back on. So, I will have to work even harder. I can do it. My goal is to lose these 4 lbs. in about 4 weeks, so we will see if I am successful or not with the holidays.
Today’s recipe is one that I have actually never tried, but it sounds amazing!
Beef Brisket in Beer in the Crockpot (Yay!)- 6 points total
Ingredients:
– 1 (4 lb) beef brisket, the leanest you can find
