Sunday...last day of freedom

So it fels like the last day of freedom before school starts back up. My Lifespan test did not go quite as well as I had hoped and it's sad but I was inconsolable... School is just my thing. It just really broke my spirit almost. But now im better! Sorry to rant!
Anyway my intake to day:
Breakfast: 0
Lunch:
Homade soup: 60 calories (recipe below)
Snack: latte 120
Dinner:
Yet to be determined:
Either soup or salad

So I made the soup and it was so easy and good!
5 cups water
2 tomatoes: 22 cals
MSG Free Chicken base: 45 cals
Seasonings: cumin, seasoning salt,  lots of pepper, parsley: 0 cals
Small onion: 20 (or use 1/4 regular onion)
Frozen vegetables: 20 cals (I like the asparagus mix)
2 slivers of serano: 5 cals
1 clove of garlic: 7 cals
Total: 119 calories

Directions:
1. use pam to spray bottom of stew pot
2. glaze onions and garlic on med-med high for 5-7 minnutes
3. boil 5 cups of water in tea pot
4. add water to stew pot and chicken base or Bullion Cube
5. then add rest of vegtables, and seasonings
6. bring to boil, turn to med-low for 8 minnutes

Then it's done!
So it will bring about 2-3 servings.

It is really yummy! hope you will try it plus it will be really delightful on these chilly fall evenings!
Best part of fall is soups, basically all water relatively low calories and they make you feel super full!
Best wishes for your week lovelys!
with love,
