We have cooler temps but the has returned and is supposed to stay for the week so we will try to get some more stuff done at our lot. We spent Sunday afternoon there and got lots done.

GOOD FOR YOU, CASANDRA ~ I think those tips from Madeleine are a good idea; you can always cut back later.

RUTH ~ yes, we do have to pick hardy and early varieties here. I planted spring and fall bulbs so we have flowers over a longer period for spring and most of summer. Each year, I will add something new until the beds are full and DH wants me to put something more at the front -- am thinking of double-blooming Irises and some bulbs.

Madeleine ~ only the crocuses have bloomed here, but the others are on their way; it is still cool here yet but the trees are now budding too!

Have a great week ladies ...

Ah! Ok, today is the last day of my trial. I'll tell you what, I could not do that long term!

That's probably one of my cons. There wasn't enough food during lunch, i had to supplement and found that I was starting to get huge cravings for carbs or sweet stuff during the late morning and early afternoon.

The best thing was the dinners (and desserts)!! They were huge portions, definitely wasn't expecting that!! They were fabulous, didn't taste like diet food at all!

I had sweet & sour chicken with cashews and white rice for dinner on Tuesday, and I got a cranberry chip cookie and 1 cup of milk for dessert! It was extremely tasty and the chicken was so juicy!

Wednesday was Red Chicken with Rosemary and Cherry Tomatos with new potatoes and broccoli. I had sticky toffee pudding for dessert, and it wasn't a tinsy portion! Perfectly sized!! ^____^

Best of all was dinner last night, I had Spaghetti Bolognase with whole wheat pasta and a very generous platter of fruit!

In comparison, the lunches were sorry, I found myself supplementing by adding in scrambled eggs or extra slices of lunch meat. It did give me a better idea of portion sizes though. I usually do way too much side dish whenever I cook, I realize this now!

My blood sugar has been constantly low, with morning sugar levels in the 8-11 range, but I guess I did not adjust my insulin doses enough for the diet change. I am treating myself to a portion of curly fries for lunch! lol!! :

It was still fun to try!
