Here I am, tired but happy!!! Went to nh today as usual, then to Wal*Mart Super Store and Sam's for groceries. Then chopped and sliced all the ingredients for salads for the next day or two, also boiled some eggs, to have on hand. Then while I was at it, chopped and diced to make some Shrimp Creole to serve over brown rice.
Now I am tired, I try to remember to sit while I chop etc. But I always will move for some reason and wind up standing when I go back to task. I feel I don't work fast enough when I sit. I wonder why I'm sore and then remember. Shrimp is expensive
but we need a treat now and then. It was really good, will have to post it next recipe day. It's all legal. It's so simple.
After supper I finally read and the paper and didn't stitch. Then remembered I better say Hey to y'all.
STAR - Feel so bad for you. Hope you will keep the nine toes. You are blest w/ a positive outlook. My prayers are with you.
DEB - Okay here's the deal w/ the bagels. I didn't want to hurt your feelings by saying I would make a change or two. I like the texture, but they are really a little blah. For the amount of flour used I would add a full tsp of salt. I think I would bake them at
425' next time, may make them a little crustier. I also would make the hole a wee bit bigger as it closes as it rises and bakes. Also for our woe, I think instead of 8 I would make 10. You'd still have the taste but a little less carbs going in your system. If there is an oven temp listed I did not see it. They do take a little time to make. I used the Rapid Rise yeast, which cuts down the time some. There are 2 rising times and then you have to boil them. All in all I would say worth the effort. Especially if you can't
find sfww ones in stores. Also I like the baking process, so didn't feel time was abnormally long.
Thanx for sympathy on achiness, better today. Just some days are worse than others. I try not to feel sorry for myself, but it will slip out!
By now you know I got the e-mail on the biscuits. When the bagels are gone I will try it.
FILLISE - Glad everythig went well, too bad the nausea had to spoil it for you. I never thought if the scale as being high, except in numbers! Thanx for the words of encouragement
BUTTERFLY - My cleaver was just to make a point. I am an anti-violent person. At least toward others! Another spot is the thighs. They are getting dimpled. They were always too fat firm for dimples. So maybe a good thing even though it is horrible! You talk about breasts, my dil is not fat, but she is Dolly Parton busted. She has problem w/ certain clothes getting them to fit w/o busting open. So we all have problems and are never satisfied w/ ourselves.
ROSALIE - Pains are better. Our pool isn't big enough for laps, altho I do go back and forth. Altho the hot tub is good, I prefer the pool. I think bec in the tub you just sort of sit, in the pool you can move which helps the aches etc. Yep, I know pastry flour should be sgww. I was in Wal*Mart Super Store today and they didn't have it. If you like to bake try the bagels, see note above to Deb for my thoughts on them.
Seems like a slow board today so takes less time to write a post. I am tired and will not check for mistakes, you'll just have to read it as it is and have a little snicker at my typing!
See y'all tomorrow!

....No I did not hand letter the envelope, but isn't it cool??? Dan isn't much of a gambler, but when he sees the alternative of hanging out with you me and BOB, he might become one! I can't believe BOB
The only thing that I can think that may be worth trying in regards to loosing weight is eliminating any type of starchy carb (regardless if it is SGWW) and just eating protein, fruit and veggies for a week or two and see if that makes any difference. I've seen alot of people in my doctors office stuggle with their weight, and that seems to be the one thing that gets them going. I don't really consider it Atkins, because he doesn't allow fruit, until later on, but cutting out the carbs seems to work for most people who have a hard time getting some movement on the scales! You could try it for two weeks, and see what happens. I know my body is super sensitive to carbs, and when I was following SB to the tee, I was still having protein for breakfast, eggs or cottage cheese, salads with proteins for lunch, protein and more veggies at dinner, and fruit for snacks in between meals and I was doing great with the weigh coming off.
to report that I'm now a scale watcher myself. Been looking at it every a.m. since Wednesday thinking "ok, today it's going to move". I can see why it's so addicting. 
Of course, it was all SB LEGAL, just too much of everything. I figured I must of eaten well over 2500 calories just yesterday as I stopped counting at 1800!!!!! Add to that that yesterday I didn't walk and I didn't drink but a little bit of water. Today I feel like I'm back to "normal".
