OK, here's what I had at our Sunday small group meeting:
1 slice meat loaf, 2 small 1" X 3"pieces pot roast, and 2 small pieces (about the size of 1/4 of a CD) chicken marsala, and 2 wedges fresh tomato, and iced tea to drink. Herbal tea, iced, that is. Not too bad. Whaddya think?

Debbie--Basically, I told Michael that French is a language to be spoken rather than just written. And that actually SPEAKING French is better than just getting "A's" on the exams. At least, I hope that's what I said. Emma, is that what I said?

Grant, I used to live in Weston. How small of a world is this. Before I was divorced a couple of months ago I lived in the Savanna subdivision off of Arvida Parkway. I now live in Margate. This is too cool!!! I am new to SB too. Just bought the book yesterday. Welcome!

Just got in from church. We went to a new restaurant afterwards with the group for dinner. It was a combination Chinese/Indian/Thai place. They have merged the cuisines, and the results are very interesting. Tom and I got soup and shared an entree of curry chicken. I did eat a bit of rice, but everything else seemed to be ok. Nothing was too sweet, which was good!

There is no school tomorrow, and I don't have to work either. I do have a catering job doing a dinner for church, so I will be busy all day cooking!

Sweet dreams everyone!

I am new to the SB way of eating. I have been on for two weeks. I lost 11 pounds so far. I started 2 Saturdays ago. I thought I wouldnt go with my usual "I'll start on Monday line." I am 48 and started at 223. I am now 212. Can anyone out there tell me if I am doing the right thing. I am not counting the carbs. I just cut out all what was instructed in book to cut out such as, carrots, bananas, white bread, potatoes, rice, etc. I eat 100 percent whole wheat bread, no sugar added, and whole wheat tortillas and saltine crackers in addition to all the other allowables. Am I eating the right wheat products. Wheat pasta also, but none of the wheat products say stone ground. Is it ok? Guess what yall, just in case yall do not know this already. I
went to cici's pizza for lunch after church today and I asked if they could make me the pizza, minus the crust. They said "Oh your on the atkins diet, sure we can." I didn't correct them that I was on SB. So they prob do that often if only we ask. They put the cheese, pepperoni, and sausage in an aluminum pan for me and put it through the oven till it was all melted together. Ate it with my salad and it was great!! I thought that was so nice
that they would do that. I guess it beats someone taking the regular pizzas and then throwing all the bread part away.
Thank you to all of you in advance and I wish you all well.
