    I didn't start up the LC Chat - kind of felt like I was chatting in two places about the same stuff - guessing that those not in the Challenge have been too busy to Post much?

    YM changes:

    Had a late nite lc tortilla & cheese
    didn't finish my salad

    TM:

    B: Protein/LC Yogurt Smoothie

    Not sure what else - flying out the door early today!
  • HI Ladies

    Gee!!!What did I post!!! I'm sorry I didn't mean to blame anyone for not starting the thread. I guess I still on edge from my friends funeral. Can you forgive me!!!

    I made some Christmas cookies [Cinn. Stars]from the food network. The main ingredients are ground almonds and confectioners sugar. Going to look in the Linda's web site for others.

    DIVA-sorry for all the difficulty your having at the holiday festivities. I've gone up 3 lbs last week from having too much sodium and than I lost it. Can't seem to move that ticker downward. Be careful not to overindulge,you don't want to feel sorry later.Tonight I'm going to watch the Biggest Loser. Hope the blue team does lose today.or they gone.


    AUD-Can't believe the regulars are not posting. I guess they're busy shopping. I'm going out tomorrow and see what goodies I can get for the family.Don't like to shop in crowds. I might just go locally.


    Have a nice evening


    Hugs BB

  • Hi Ladies

    Not doing good in the challenge,I think I'm adding back too many carb,now that I'm counting calories instead of grain carbs.

    Haven't touch any cookies that I baked,saving them for my DD & the DGC,but the scale still isn't showing a lose.

    Laura-I heard about all the people being stuck on the highways,because of the grid-lock. I think I heard that they let all the people leave at once instead of staggering the time. Sorry that you got caught in that mess. I was OK the singers director called and told us she called the nursing home to tell them that we will sing for them another time.

    Going to get another storm on Sunday,don't know if its rain or snow accompanied with a no'easter.
