Good Tuesday everyone! A little chilly here in Iowa this morning. Nothing like what you in Canada have though. I shouldn't complain after reading the coldness you have there. I'm headed out to do some Christmas shopping with my daughter from Arizona today. She's back for Thanksgiving and I thought it was the perfect time to get most of the shopping done.
A little worried about Thanksgiving coming up. I'm going to try and stay true to the program. I bought quite a few different vegtables yesterday so we will have a large variety to choose from. Planning on filling my plate with them mostly. I ordered an organic free range turkey and hope it is worth the additional cost over a frozen bird. I already decided that all the left overs will go home with my guests. Except the turkey if it is good :) Planning on a family walk after lunch Thanksgiving day. Not only will that be fun, but good for all of us. Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful for family and friends, not all the food on the table. Everyone have a great day! |
Hey all....been kinda lurking the past few days....what a hectic life we all lead! I am looking forward to Thanksgiving...but super worried still. I am bringing my own turnip mashed potatoes as well as rhubarb "dessert". I figure between that and the turkey and green beans I should survive......oh I pray I have the strength!!! JUST SAY NO!
Chilly here....funny that just last week we were in the 70s and by Thursday we are expecting highs in the teens. Ugh. Like so many of you all, I am FREEZING all day! I keep the heat in my classroom at 73, wear sweaters/sweatshirts, sit on my hands! Lol! This too shall pass! Have a great day! |

Mushroom soup for Gravy
So I'm thinking I'll heat up some mushroom soup on thanksgiving and use it for gravy on my white meat turkey at the restaurant!! I'm sure I was not the first to think of this, but I think depending on your taste for gravy, any one of the soups will work.
Have a great day everyone! :carrot: |
Good Tuesday Morning Everyone!!
33 days until :rudolph:!!!

Good Morning All...
A chilly morning in Saskatchewan this morning... Was -23 when I got up but thankfully there is no wind so it doesn't feel too bad... I started week 3 yesterday and did my second WI... 3.2lbs down:) I was quite upset yesterday as I was SO hoping to see more of a drop but thanks to a very dear friend, I came to realize it is 3.2lbs I didn't have a week ago. I just thought as I followed the program to a 't' that it would be more.... Anyway, it's a new day and a new week......... I made Eggplant as my veggie last night. First time I have ever cooked it. It was just 'ok', not a lot of flavor... Anyone have any yummy suggestions about making it a little more interesting?? Also have some IP Banana Pudding that I just can't seem to like.... Any thoughts on a way to use it up? Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday... Cheers to a great rest of the week. :hug: PJay |

Turkey Day!
Hello ladies! :^:
I too am a bit nervous for thanksgiving! My mom and I will both be on day 5 of IP on Thursday! So still very new to the program. I'm really only worrying about dessert! Trying to come up with something that wont leave us feeling deprived :( However...dinner will be easy and satisfying! Our menu includes: Raw veggies with WF dip and Crabmeat stuffed mushrooms for apps. Then for dinner broiled talapia or cod with roasted asparagus or spinach I may try to make a mashed cauliflower to feel like im not missing out on the taters! Everyone enjoy the holiday!!!! This year will more about enjoying the day off work and less about the food :carrot: |
Oh my WORD it is seriously freezing today. It is -36C (-32 F) with the windchill and I heard at Edmonton International Airport it was -44!!!
I'm about to leave as the doggies have a haircut appointment. Thank goodness it is going to "warm up" or I'd second guess it. I think I'll cook up some steak tonight for DH and I. And some bean sprouts. And experiment some more with my newly found SF Tocani (sp?) syrups. Chocolate sounds delish right now. Have a good day everyone!! Any stay warm!! |

to the banana pudding. This week I have added banana and strawberry together and mixed in the Magic Bullet with 10 oz water. Then poured in two containers. Yum! I also layer Chocolate and Butterscoth. I get creative with mixing and matching the puddings with the WF syrups, dips and PB. Remember your tastes change while on this diet, too. When I first started, I only liked the puddings. Then I hated the puddings and only liked the drinks. Now, I am back to liking the puddings!! BTW - Congratulations on the 3.2! You shouldn't be disappointed - be Happy!!! 3.2 pounds is great! I hope every week for that kind of loss! |
Good Morning all!
I am suffering from a severe headache, and trying to keep hydrated. I am so glad the stomach cramps have subsided for now. I am not feeling hungry, but oh my, my head hurts! I just would like to go to sleep for the rest of the day and wake up when my procedure is done tomorrow, but you know the saying, not a good plan to take sleeping pills AND laxatives at the same time!;) I just want this over so I can get back on the plan, and eat again! LOL! Have a great day! |
