Hi all,
Tea Granny - Welcome to the group! You are so right about following a plan for life. Once we accept that, it seems easier to live with, don't you think so?
NewCreation - you had me laughing out loud about what you said about the movie and your sons' reaction. What is a meat stick? Like you, I do cook some veggies for myself that my DH (Neal) won't touch with a 10 foot pole. I eat lots of them raw, in salads, too He doesn't like squashes, bell peppers of any color, sugar snap peas, green beans, or hunky tomatoes, or anything "unusual". In other words, he will eat corn and peas, and a few carrots. Onions, only if they are cooked! But I fix them for myself, anyway!
Joyful Retiree - I love Rotel tomatoes! Another use for tomatoes is to add them to green beans, with some diced onion, and a bit of Italian seasoning. Yum! You can post any kinds of tip, lists, or whatever you want here.
Bunti - welcome aboard! Tweaking a plan to be doable has been working well for me, so far, and I think it will work for you, too. I like how WW is counting carbs now along with calories, fat and fiber.
Hello to everyone reading this.
I'm finding that I need to increase my carbs, because I feel deprived, so I'm going to play around with my allowance a bit to see what works.
Here's a top for when you have the munchies: mix a 1/2 cup of salsa with 1 Tbl. ranch dressing, and dip fresh "free" veggies in it. This really helps when you need to get more veggies, and you want some crunch, too.
Tomorrow Neal has surgery, and will have to stay over for (probably) just one night, so I won't be able to check in until sometime Wednesday. There is very poor internet reception in the hospital, so I won't bother taking my laptop. Stay OP, and I'll check back when I can.
Hugs,
