Good morning,
I had a sleepless night too Anne. I have no
's in my life, except for Stripe the cat. :grin: Why I can't sleep sometimes, I don't know, it could be menopause, but I've been an insomniac all my life. That's why I use to work nights, I figured I was awake anyway, why not make some money. I'm sure yours is situational, like you said. I know that the harder I try to sleep, the less I'm able to. Finally, when it's morning, I drift off and then wham! Stripe is on me and making his little sounds that I've never heard another cat make before. I swear, the cats from ****. He bites my hair and slaps my face till I get up, usually screaming "STRIPE" at the top of my lungs. I think he really gets a kick out of that.
Aleka, I've read more stories lately too about low carb eating. I read where the restaurants that serve low carb food aren't as accurate with the carb numbers as you might think. When they tested the low carb selections, they all had more carbs than was claimed. They didn't subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols though. I think that with all this stuff and the low carb food in the stores, it's just better to use them occasionally and to stick with natural food. But, boy am I looking forward to the new Heinz ketchup that is coming this spring with 1 g of carbs per serving. That's even better than Atkins ketchup.
I found it funny when I went to Hardee's and got their low carb burger, they wanted to know if I wanted to make it a meal. I thought they were going to say, a meal was a salad and iced tea, but of course, it was french fries and a drink. Subway did the same thing and offered me cookies or chips. Kind of defeats the purpose, I thought.
Well, I'm doing really good with the low carb this time. DH still doesn't understand how I can eat eggs and bacon. He says that's no diet. I told him it's a life style and try to explain it to him, but he just doesn't listen. He also has to have the bread with breakfast and milk. Aleka, what brand of low carb bread did you say tastes good? If I can't get him to stop eating it, at least maybe I can get him to eat low carb bread.
Lynn, I hope your having a good day and staying warm. Sounds like everyone is getting a double dose of winter now. We're pretty cold too, but nothing like you guys.
Take care, Nikki
