Good Morning Chicks! We just survived our first snow storm of the season....8 inches at least! Poor Jim. The snowblower would not work at all so he cleared by hand yesterday and today. I SO worry about him but he did it anyway. I got the snowblower doctor to come pick up the snowblower today and take it in for repair. With luck, we'll have it back before the next snow.
I cancelled my PT appointment. They fix the roads quickly here but the roads to PT are secondary and will take a bit to get cleared. So....I'm going to spend the day doing laundry and then if we can, we'll have date night. It was way too icy last night and the storm was howling.
Rhonda, have fun at your lunch today! I'm definitely going to check out the DASH plan. I'm always open to new ideas. I got my second to last order from JC on Wednesday. They've raised their prices twice in the last 6 months and I'm about to lose my 30% discount. Time for me to take what I've learned and get back to cooking whole fresh Core foods and eating them in smaller portions.
Nancy, I'm so behind in catching up with how life is going! How exciting would that be if your realtor buys your house. Equally exciting to hear that you can find what you like for yourself in a decent price range. We said we wouldn't move from this house, but one never can say never. The snow removal is a big issue. We can find someone to pay to cut the grass, but it's really hard to find someone to do snow removal. I hope you find the place of your dreams.
Mary Ann, did you ever try the Core pancake? The recipe is here on our board. I LOVED the one made with oatmeal and cottage cheese. I think there may be one of those in my future. I used to make them for lunch.
Pam, if you find out that walking backwards gets rid of belly...you better let me know for sure. I feel like mine proceeds me into the room.
Sandra, what's up GF?! Sounds like you are subbing a lot again. Hope they are being nice to teacher. Hmmmmm.....a good steak sounds great. Maybe we'll have a nice filet to celebrate date night and snow removal!
Gotta go work on my laundry and get ready for date night!
Those core pancakes Vickie mentioned are really good.
I ate out twice today. I will NOT get on the scales tomorrow. Dinner was at a local place and it was down-home: meal too salty, dessert too sweet I ate only half of each.
Lunch with my old friend today was great. He's retiring and I know all about that!
Rhonda, glad you had a good time. Please post a sample daily menu you follow on the Dash diet.
Sandra, my 4 yr old granddaughter is playing bb too. She had to call us this weekend, to let us know she scored. They were at opposite court, she got the ball, went to her end and made a basket. She was so proud. Next year she wants to be the cheerleader, lol. I think they game is really confusing to her. Her daddy is trying to teach her. I remember hating basketball in Jr. high, because I was so short. Still not crazy about the game. My husband played in school and he loves the KY Wildcats. I only watch during playoffs.
I've had those pancakes too, doing the South Beach Diet. I used ricotta cheese.
I have so much to do tomorrow to have the house ready by Sunday. Yikes..
I went to a friend's house tonight that had an oyster roast. My first time eating them and I loved them. Guess what !! There was a very nice guy there that I really enjoyed talking to. He was very personable . I have to admit he got my attention which I would have never thought possible. He was a builder and gave me a name of a friend of his that is a handyman. Somehow I think his friend will work out better than the last handyman.
It is so cold here..brrrr..I have my space heater on next to my bed..
Boy the temps are low this morning I have a thick sweater and pants set to keep me warm. Was going down to the cemetery but its too cold for that so hopefully it will warm up a little so I go on Sunday. No movie this weekend either,we saw all the movies in our area,so we are heading out to an Italian Restaurant down town.
Sorry I was MIA yesterday but I had to go meet Rita at the restaurant and before that I had lots of errands to do. Glad you gals like the recipes,hope you like the protein shake recipes.
Got on the scale to day and I down 1/2 pound and finally out of the 170's.
VICKIE-Thanks for the offer but,The reason I don't use other pancake recipes except for the protein powder ones is the carb in the oatmeal I have to stay low are carbs to keep my blood sugar stable.
Have to go meet my friend at the Italian restaurant
DASH is like Core and like low-Glycemic, but the emphasis is on minimally-processed foods also...and you have to count calories.
I'll be gone tomorrow to west Texas to visit my brother in the VA facility. This will be a hard trip, physically and emotionally. We're flying out, visiting, and flying back in one day.
BRR!!!! Its cold up here this morning is was 11 degrees and no its 14. Just got back from coffee and we decided to have our Canasta card game this Wed at 1pm. Happy to see the game resume again,as it been months since we met.
SANDRA-I expected that the weather and cold temps would come as its winter. Was glad we had such nice warm weather while it lasted. Suppose to go back to the 30's some time this week.
PAM-My sister is Fla now and shes cold but its not as cold as up here in New England. Have my Long Johns on and will wear my winter apparel so I should keep.
Good Morning Chicks! I'm off to a full day of PT and Hair appointment. I got attacked by a box, thankfully small, of Scottie shortbread cookies yesterday. They were delicious but I know they were a million calories. Oh well.
