It was easy
I am a carb (pasta) & cheese addict. So what did I do? Invited my son & his girlfriend over for dinner. I asked my son what he would like me to make to go with the chicken breast, salad, & broccoli......he said. "your homemade Mac & cheese". :o. I am only on day 4. This was a real test of my willpower. I DID IT! Since I do not measure when I cook (except for my IP veggies) I cook by taste. I am very proud of myself. I didn't even taste the cheese sauce for seasoning. I had my son do it. I ate my salad while I made the Mac & cheese so my mouth was busy. IT WORKED! I didn't have even one bite & I didn't feel deprived. I'm ecstatic. I CAN do this.

Hi all - back from the Magic Kingdom. Didn't worry about "diet" though I took my packets and all. Though I ate things off program, I found that I was making much better choices -smaller portions, picking lower carb foods, and was walking. Came back and am down 2 pounds. I want to thank all who gave advice and input on the subject of changing weight goal and phasing out and restarting or just continuing on. I'm still coming to terms with what I want to do. The input is helping me make that decision.

So I am using our trusty mechanical health-o-meter as my official scale. It's consistent and can be properly calibrated. The electronic ones are very fussy. Like you, we have thought of taking a piece of plywood to our WI! |
Another beautiful day in WV! My husband and I are going for a mountain drive to enjoy the colorful leaves. I hope to find a nice place for a stroll too. I wish everyone a wonderful day!

I'm a little miffed at my clinic. Went for my first weigh in and the scale showed a 22 pound loss. The "clinician" was about to record it without a second thought until I gave her a polite verbal dope slap. Second weigh in was about the same, with a 15 pound loss. This time she asked if that was right. Finally I checked the batteries in the scale (it's a wireless tanita bf 1000), and found the original no-name batteries in it. They've apparently been in there for almost a year. ughh. |

Some of the recent conversations reminded me of a cookbook I bought several (??) years ago, "Low Carb Meals in Minutes" I was able to put my hands on my copy. She's got 6 weeks of menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, split into 3 sections: 25-30 carbs/day, 75 g/day and 125-130 g/day. If you see it at a used book store or can pick up a copy, it could be well worth your time and money. As I start to use some of the recipes, I'll let you know and may post them in the recipe thread with whatever modifications I make to have it fit with IP. Title: Low Carb Meals in Minutes Author: Linda Gassenheimer Publisher: Bay Books & Tapes (Oct 2000) ISBN-10: 157959512X ISBN-13: 978-1579595128 Drinking water Normally I get 64 oz of water in well before noon. This week my schedule has been a bit disrupted and I haven't been as faithful to routine of filling and emptying my water bottle. All day Thursday and Friday, and Saturday morning I was CRANKY :tantrum: On my 2-hour drive for Thanksgiving with family, I had 48 oz of water and lots of sunshine. I continued to drink water, probably another 48 oz, through the afternoon. By 7 pm I felt normal, the crankiness was gone. Old-new rule for me: Drink water. |

I'm anxious to hear all about it. |
Last week there was a discussion regarding salad dressing. My clinic gave me this recipe that was developed by one of the doctors there. I will also post it in the recipe thread - have to work on getting my 20 posts in - I want that ticker!:D
Salad Dressing - Great on spinach salad 1/2 C Splenda 2 T Sesame Seeds 1 T Poppy Seeds 1 1/2 tsp Minced Onions 1/4 tsp Worchestershire Sause 1/4 tsp Paprika 1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar 1/2 C Olive Oil I omit the poppy seeds because I usually don't have those. I use this twice a day. I love it! Sometimes, I add a bit of cayanne pepper! |

Just popping in to say a quick hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I spent yesterday shopping with a girl friend of mine. It was only the second time I have been shopping with anyone. It turns out she is the same size as I am now! That is weird because I don't see myself as her size. It was so strange to be passing clothes back and forth saying "these are the wrong cut for me, will they work for you?" LOL... it was a fun experience. Anyway, we both walked out with about 3 pair of pants and a few tops. I found a really cute fall dress with long sleeves. It is nice to be thin enough in the thighs that I can wear dresses and skirts again. I got to the point I avoided it because my thighs would rub so much they would hurt. :( Today my plan is to take the dogs for a walk and time at the dog park. Then I need to evaluate my dad's property for any hail damage. So far we have all 4 cars hail damaged, the roof and 2 skylights. I have insurance adjustors coming this week for those things. I need to climb on top of the camper, toy hauler and, untarp the jetskis to see if anything happened to them. I didn't find any landscape damaged and the windows to the house all seem to be without cracks or chips. I have lived in the desert here for 40 years, I don't think I have ever seen a hail storm like the one this week! The "balls" were as big as baseballs and had these crazy spikes coming off them. The winds were so horrible. We don't get tornados so, this is probably the worst of the winds I have ever seen (outside of a microburst and that is different). After that, I get time with my nephews. My sister is moving into a new home and since they have enough people to help with the move, I offered to watch the kids. My food is all packed and I am ready to go! I think we might take some time at the railroad park here in town. They are having a special event with train rides, games and prizes, and facepainting. Not sure the boys care about face paint but, they love the rides! Everyone have a fabulous sunday! |
