Ella,
just wanted to let you know something.
some of the fiber one bars has an ingredient called shellac.
If you do a search on the ingredient...shellac. You might not want to eat it anymore.
Its made from a bug.

here is the infor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac

I was eating them till I saw this. Yuk!

[ellabella]

Omigawwwdd, Theresa!!!! You're right!!!!! Bug wings! How utterly disgusting! What's worse is that it also says it's used to replace the natural wax in apples after they lose their shine from being cleaned!!!! So, those nice, shiny apples I've been buying in the produce section are dipped in BUG JUICE, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more Fiber One bars for me, either!!! Or apples???? Maybe it washes off of apples????

Gotta wash my hair...


Will post my other stuff later..

TTFN

I *****ed to the management about the wimp-y little plate and each onion ring was 50 cents. He said, “You counted them?” I said yes, so he sent over another plate for free. By this time we were full but we stuffed everyone of them down.!!!!!!!!!!!!Geeeeeeeeeeeeez

Bobbi, you are a woman after my own heart! Not only do I LOVE onion rings (maybe I'll actually eat some as a rare treat once I hit maintenance) but I really don't like being shortchanged at restaurants. Whether it's an inadequate serving, cooked improperly, or a criminally inattentive waiter/waitress, I tend to expect value for my money, and if I don't get it, I let them know about it. My ex used to HATE it when I complained about anything. He would quite literally shrink down in his chair and try to look invisable. (Yet this was the same person who, at home and out of the public eye, could yell and carry on like a maniac!) ANYWAY, I'm glad you asked for - and got - a full serving of your onion rings. Seems to me you DESERVE them, considering how you eat the rest of the time!

Okay - for today:

B - Fiber One cereal, dry. One medium banana, one pear, half an orange.

S- No

L- A leftover chicken breast, re-heated brocolli, a piece of low cal, high fiber multi-grain flatbread. Strawberries.

S- No

D- Wheat pasta w/ Healthy Choice sauce (added chopped onions, tomatoes, sliced black olives, and 93% lean hamburger. Possibly a tossed salad.

S- Popcorn? (NO FIBER ONE BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I added up everything I ate yesterday and also added up all of my activity, and it came out 1236 calories eaten and 2450 calories spent. This is how I have been typically eating. I should be losing a COUPLE of pounds a week - not ONE pound!!! Who do I lodge my complaint with?

Exercise today - 45 minute bike ride when I get home, I hope! The weather is a little "iffy" hereabouts.

Fun????? Hmmmm. I'll have to get back to you with that one.

[Bobbolink]

Ella, DH does the same thing, that is shrink when I complain. But I do it in a nice way and we're both big tippers when eating out. I know how hard the waiter/waitresses work and they usually get minimun wage. I've noticed over the years that I get bolder too, especially with a gin and tonic in me.
Yesterday's menu was sort of hit and miss, we're sorting out the rummage sale stuff. I have lots of beautiful Silverplate/Sterling holloware that didn't sell. (Too classic for rummage sale people I guess)I'm going to get my camera out today, take pictures and post it all on E-Bay. So I'll be busy. Here's yesterdays menu:

Good Morning June Challengers!

I was up 3 pounds today, but it’s from eating fast food junk and eating on the run for the last 3 days. I’m going to get back to normal eating soon. Right now we don’t have any normal food in the house.
I know what the 3 pound gain is from, those darn onion rings I b****ed about. It's called the revenge of Applebee's.

Bobbi - I am very courteous with my complaints, too, and we tip well for good service. Luckily, my current DH & I are the same way when it comes to restaurant service. He's just as straightforward as I am, not afraid to ask for what he wants and expects both the food & service to be good. We have a favorite restaurant that we go to for a late lunch/early dinner most Saturday afternoons after all the errands are run...and the waiters trip each other up trying to get us to their tables. Conversely, I remember when I was married to my ex, and we went to a very "chic" restaurant in the Quincy Market section of Boston...they were, in fact, KNOWN for their "snooty" waitstaff. Well, the food was (as always) excellent, but I had to ask the waitress for a fork three times...I told the rest of our party to please start their food without me because it was silly to wait when I kept telling her and she kept saying "Oh, that's right!", scurrying off, and failing to reappear with the fork. We had our son with us, too - he was just a little over a year old at the time, and they had no children's menu, and I wasn't going to order a full adult meal for him to NOT eat, so I asked for a bread plate so that I could give him a little of my food, and the waitress actually refused! She said they had a policy against sharing meals! With a year-old child? Absurd! Anyway, I ultimately had to go in search of my own fork, and by that time, my food was cold and everyone else at the table was just about finished. We got ready to leave, and my EX put down a $25 tip! I was outraged! The meal had come to about $90! A 20% tip (which she didn't deserve, anyway) would've been only $18!!!! But he, as usual, wanted to look like a big spender....well, he may have wanted to, but he didn't, because I waited until he was walking away and scooped $15 right off the table. I left $10 just for bringing us the food, but more than that, she didn't deserve. The waitress saw me do it, too...
Maybe it taught her to be a little more accomodating, considering that we all know that their income is primarily from tips.
Okay, enough blabbing.

B- dry Fiber One cereal, 1 pear, 1 banana
S- NO
L - Leftover wheat pasta & sauce, 5 strawberries
S- No
D- Chef salad (I think; as usual, I didn't take anything out of the freezer & will have to improvise).
S- popcorn if I must

Exercise - BIKE ride (such a shock & surprise, I'm sure!)

Fun - Maybe meeting a friend for coffee after her job interview in Cambridge.

[femmecreole]

Ok, just "got" this thread. I don't eat dinner at night..our big meal is around 2 in the afternoon...after that it is just several small snacks.

B:2 eggs (boiled 6 minutes and peeled) with mozzarella cheese, chives, 2 slices turkey bacon, a slice of homemade whole grain bread,a ramekin of pears and grapes and a small glass of v8

S: fruit salad

D: Not sure yet, either leftover meatloaf or leftover chicken fricasee and a salad and roasted okra..gotta clean out the fridge!

S:Probably some artichoke/heart of palm bruschetta and "simply naked" pita chips

Evening: maybe a small salad or some fruit and later in the evening a peanut butter cup.

Fun: may read a little if it rains this afternoon. I'm reading a humerous book "The Joy of Y'at Catholicism"
Exercise: none today...it was raining early this morning so I could not go out and cut grass..I cut a section of my yard every day using a "reel" lawnmower.
the heat index may reach 110 today, so no going out after 8 am!
