Nikki--I hope you're feeling better. A panic attack sounds scary. I'm glad your losing that weight so quickly. I knew you could do it!
Penny, your part of the world sounds way too interesting for me--floods, torrential rains, avalanches...
Marie, here's my very complicated pear recipe, watch closely: cut a Bosc pear lengthwise into four pieces. Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and a tiny drizzle of honey. You can also use nutmeg and/or ground ginger, if you like. (Sometimes I use powdered vanilla.) On a covered plate, zap at a medium temperature in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add a bit of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese, cover and zap for another 15 minutes. Let cool, then devour. Serves one (or two, if you're low-carbing).
I did a good cardio workout this morning, but I'm still feel a bit off, sorta dizzy with a faint headache. I had a fried egg w/salsa, veggie sausage and a corn tortilla for b'fast; half an apple and string cheese for AM snack; large bowl of veggie-bean soup and some nuts for lunch, then absolutely HAD to buy a dark chocolate bar and eat it in about five seconds
. I think it was the headache, plus another day fending off a barrage of problems at work. Feeling crummy always makes me crave sweets. I'm thinking of taking my hypnosis CD to the office; there's one short bit that's supposed to help with cravings. Later I ate my planned snack--half a grapefruit and turkey jerky. Dinner was grilled fish, green beans and broccoli. I'm still feeling vaguely unwell, so once I'm done online I'm heading for the bathtub and then to bed, as far from the kitchen as I can get
