my weightloss journey

these are my weight loss tracking jars, i just need to add some sort of marble!

i feel like seeing the weight loss in this form will be exciting, and want me to push on further, wish me luck!

well ive decided it is time to loose my extra baggage.  ive been dealing with weight issues since i can remember ; maybe around 13 or so.  ive had two kids so obviously i have a few extra pound:).  right now i am not ashamed to say i am at 180 lbs.  that is great since my last pregnancy i gained around 45 lbs, and have already lost that all! (yay breastfeeding!).  but the problem is that i have an extra 20 lbs that i never lost from my first son.  so in total i think i would like to loose around 50 lbs, for now my goal is set at just 30.  i have been working out, and eating smaller portions and trying to eat right.  heres to hoping by the new year, ill be a new me!   i did a little project i wanted to share with you, for me i think it will help motivate my weight loss:)

THE BEST PULLED PORK EVER:)

Living in the south has really made me appreciate pulled pork, but its just so dang expensive to buy it pre made!  I have perfected my own personal recipe, and i would like to share it with you:)


Ingredients!

1 pork tenderloin, size of your choice
1 can of root-beer (any brand)
1 large bottle of Barb q sauce of your choice (making your own is just as good!)
you will also need a crock pot!




STEPS:

1.  remove the tenderloin from the package and place in the crockpot!
2.  pour your can of root beer (or about 2 cups)  over top of your pork
3.  place the cover on and cook on high (4 hours)
4.  once the tenderloin is cooked completely through,  drain the root beer
5.  take two forks and with a pulling motion 'shred' it all apart
6.  add your choice of barb q sauce, and cook for another 15 minutes or so ( every crockpot vary s)

and walah you have home made pulled pork!  pulled pork also freezes well, just make sure to let it cool before doing so!
