Kandice, You subtract the fiber from the total carbs to get the net carbs so things may not be as high as you thing.

Some of the low carb sweet stuff contains Malatol. This stuff does not like me!
There are some good low carb tortillas with 11 grams of fiber...
and some good chocolate bars called Zcarb that have 8 grams of fiber and no malatol...

Low carb is much easier than it use to be because of nutition lables. The other thing I have noticed lately is that no matter low carb/high fiber (which is what I do) they seem to come down to the more natural the food the better the chioce. (but a girl does need chocolat! Go for dark over milk, less sugar, nore coco and satisfies the craving faster)
Done rambeling, have a good noght girls.

Also high fiber cerials are not that bad. DH likes the new low carb special K

Thanks L- the Curves diet manager though- the one monitoring all of us, told us not to subtract. Some of the ladies had done low carb before and were saying that and the diet manager said no- that way you overestimate the amount of carbs.

special K someone else told me that too- I'll have to try that next. I really don't like the morning start cereal.

Hello Hello, I am here, being bad...........eating chocolate............not sure what is up with the cravings! Today is choc free day in my house!! All it does is upset my stomach, for the few mins of pleasure I pay for it for hours, how silly is that. Yes we are getting settled in, unpacked. Now starts the organizing, which I have had problems with for the last year. Since the demise of my marriage I have gone through alot of changes, my outlook, attitude, not all of them for the better, am working on it though, really don't want to be bitter. I see my ex almost daily as it is a small town, and the girl he is going to marry, ( we have known her and her family for the last 6 yrs)Nice. I could do without the smile and wave from her. Rude little girl, she has no idea what she is in for. Other than that silliness we are ok. Working on potty training here, oh joy of joys. No luck yet! Ha. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I hope to go crabbing again this weekend.

Happy Saturday afternoon.
We will be watching the sox tonight.

t had been a dull overcast day, i need the sun! Little man and I met my old sitter for a cup of coffee while olde boy went to services...I should have gone with him but I just couldn't muster the energy to sit in services. i have to be at the temple tomorrow andyway....

I did get out for a really long walk. My tush hurts! I hope I can recover enough to get in another long one tomorrow. I like the unlimited time on the weekend to get out.

So what are you all up to for the weekend?

I read yesterday, but didn't post- I wasn't logged in for some reason and it seemed like too much trouble to do it! You know you're tired when you cant type in 6 letters!

It was sort of a bad day yesterday- I got upset at DH for not wanting to do the stair replacement I want to do, (money). the stupid guy that came to give the estimate (and take measurements) said we could repair ours by going underneath and putting wedges in to stop the noise and just paint the risers. Well, I don't want to paint the risers. Guess whose little job that will be? Bingo! ME! i know the real issue is how overwhelmed I feel about MIL being here, and I was doing the stairs to feel like my life isn't completely paralyzed for a year due to her. I had a huge whining session with DS and felt a lttle better, but I can't really talk to DH cause it's his mother and he feels bad already. I will get over it, but tonight I will have some wine with my WHINE< and I am taking the day off and going for a drive.

However, strangely enough, my eating is improving. I guess I have had enough of having to compromise on food things- there is so much junk in this house it is unbelievable. (for MIL) Well, I got the new Schwarzbein book out of the library and it got me going. It is impossible to read(why your adrenal glands dont' work) but I did feel motivated to get my diet better. I had really dropped the amount of protein I have been eating, as an accomodation for MIL/DH, and so I don't have to make THREE different breakfasts/dinners/ snacks. Well, that is over. I made a swiss and aspargus omelette yesterday, tuna salad, pancakes my way(with ricotta and extra egg) today, and this afternoon I am making a crustless asparagus quiche for me for dinner. they can eat take out or leftovers.

Well, I could whine on for hours, but I realize that it is not such compelling reading for you as it is for me going through it. So off to the shower, then grocery shopping, then I'm going for a drive to see some of the leaves changing...

L, your walks are motivating me! I did a short one to shake my anger yesterday and it really helped. I then lifted some weight- it was fun, sort of.

meowna- every time you see her in town, just tell yourself, been there done that. and chuckle to yourself. she'll find out for herself and when she does you can say a "told ya so" in your head. I'm sure you're a lot better off now.

dottie- how do you make pancakes? that's another food I'm missing
