1 tsp ground cumin
3/4 C water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lbs bonless, skinless chicken thighs (about 10)

1/2 C plain while-milk Greek yogurt
2 scallions, thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 T grated fresh ginger
1 tsp ground cumin

Direction
In a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker, whisk together the tomato paste, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cumin and 3/4 cup of water. Add the onion and stir to combine. Place the chicken on tome and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cover and cook until the chicken is tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours- ours was done cooking in 5 hours on low and we didn't eat for another 3 hours so the chicken was a little tough
Twenty minutes before serving cook the rice according to the package
Just before serving, add the yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the chicken and stir to combine.

Jessie: 2.5 out of 5
Jason: 3.75 out of 5
Thoughts:
It didn't take too much time mix everything and get it ready to go in the crock pot or to add the ingredients at the end. Jason said he gave this meal a 3.75 because it was OK but not great. I liked the meal but definitely didn't love it. I think for me it was a texture thing and a look thing. It had a good taste but the overall look made my stomach do flips. Overall a easy meal that was flavorful and we might eat again.

Exercise: 50 minutes of Total Sculpt and Tone-today was our first class and it was a great workout! We did some arms, squats, and ab work.
Sleep: last night I went to bed at 9:30pm and was asleep by 10:00 (I only know this because I didn't see the news!) and got up at 6:45am so I got about 9 hours of sleep. I slept ok, I had some weird dreams but overall I felt rested. -NEW CATEGORY I'm adding sleep as a new category since sleep can play a big role in the success or failure of weight loss.I am going to try to track what time I go to bed and get up and how I slept so I can see if there is any pattern.
