Ellis: Trying your un-potato salad today. Will let you know how it turns out. I had to drain a lot of liquid off the cauliflower. Hope I didn't get it too mushy. Will report later in the day. Lizzie

Hi, everyone!!:cool:

Sflake.........my thanks to you for the beautiful prayer on tolerance.:)

hello everyone

hope all is well

had a fall-off-the-wagon type of day yesterday - first one since i started...whoops, oh well

oh well - been doing okay so far today - have my mom's b-day dinner/cake party tonight - and i have already promised myself I will have a small piece of cake - then back to Phase I for an extra week or so to get back into the swing of things

from all the posts i've read sounds like everyone is having a fairly good day!

y'all like my new avatar? decided to personalize it a little more (although i think the ape may be more me - just kidding)

thinking about going blonde - what do y'all think???

p.s. the baby isn't mine - it's one of my friend's - wish she were mine - she is so precious!! some day!

Lizzie, I don't think that's my recipe, but I hope you like it anyhow. I'll take the credit if you do... :D

Lucky, you're too beautiful to be blond. The upkeep will kill you. But don't listen to me... :)

Den, are you feeling any better?

Love to all... must get more Advil. (see: some other thread)

FINALLY went to work today, but still feeling sleepy and sluggish. DS13 came home sick, so I think I really am fighting something off.

Sure, Ellis! Take credit for MY recipe which I stole from another private board.

I've had a lovely day and managed to drink lots of water and stay OP. However, I have been for only one walk. The Girls and I will do another after dinner but this is not a 10,000 step day!

It sure was nice and relaxing, however.

Nice and relaxing...thats me now, Finally have a moment to myself:) and insted of exercising :shrug: I am going to curl up on the couch:) I did drink alot of water and did well with eating, so far....

Hi all, A very good day today. My DH had the day off and made a wonderfull stir fry of shrimp scallops and lobster. Better than anything we could have had in a restaurant. He promises something yummy and OP for dessert too. I don't know about you but at that TOM I could cheerfully kill for anything chocolate. This is usually Ben and Jerry time. Thankfully the chocolate pudding and ricotta does the job just fine. Julie

Julie your stats are great! Nice going Girl :bravo:

Whoever wants to take credit for the unpotato salad, do so.as it is very good. I think for my own taste, next time I would leave out the splenda. Otherwise, very tasty. Even my DH approved. WTG. :cp: Thanks. Lizzie

Operadog: I've been going to ask you this and keep forgetting. Are you an opera lover? Seems like your name might indicate that. Music has been my way of life for years. One of my big thrills was to go to the old Met, to see La Boheme. I was doing student teaching out on L.I. and came into the city, met a friend, and as broke kids, we took standing room. Now that really dates me, as the old met has been gone for years. Lizzie
