  • I had to run up to Walmart for a money order this morning and got sidetracked by the Dagum pepperidge farms Distinctive Chocolate Cookies. Grrrrrrr..I couldn't say no. The good news is 2 cookies are 16 grams of carbs & 130 calories. That's about as much as the Southbeach bars I snack on (a few more calories) so if I have this treat in moderation, I'll be ok. BUT, I came homew and what was in the mail? My Mom sent me my FAVORITE Scottish oatmeal cookies from Byrd's Cookie Comapny from back home in Savannah. OMG @ the Holiday temptations I tell ya! I LOVE these cookies and I hardly ever get them because I don't live there anymore. Byrd's is a famous Savannah business. They've been there for years. Sigh.... MODERATION....Keep repeating this!

    Okay, I am calm.... hehe...Lemme get to today's menu:
    B- Coffee w/Splenda & Cream
    1 c.Milk
    2 egg & cheese Omlette
    cooked in 1 TBSP Olive Oil
    3 slices of Turkey bacon

    S- 3 cookies LOL!

    L- 4 oz lean Roastbeef


    D- Tomato soup
    5 saltines
    green tea

  • Good Morning Ladies

    Lost some of my weight from the Luncheon on Monday. Hopefully most of it will be gone by Sat. W-I. I have to watch the sodium intake.

    I heard on the Biggest Losers last night that the guy on the red team was having to much sodium so Jill told him that if he wanted to lose he has to keep sodium to a limit[300 mg per meal].Now I'm thinking that he heavier than me and is a man,what if I count down my sodium intake also. As we being woman we have to watch as it retains lots of water. Did anyone here see the show.
