Good morning everybody. It's a busy day here. I have to tidy up the house a little before the developmental specialist comes at 10. She's coming to give us the results of Keely's tests. Then I have a meeting at 1; we're making diaper cakes for all of the new moms in our Battalion. Then another meeting at 3; it's a last minute planning session for our Jane Wayne Day on Friday. Jane Wayne Day is where the spouses get to put on cammies and play Marine for a day. We have to run an obstacle course, fire weapons, ride in an LAV and a 7-ton truck, etc. It should be a lot of fun. I hope we have nice weather. After all that's said and done, I'm going to go for a run. I'm down 1 more pound, so that's encouraging.
Gotta start cleaning. I'll be back later.

morning chikadees!!

I've got to try to find my boy some cleats but they just don't make kids cleats wide. Both my boys have these short chunky feet (mmmm Chunky bar), i sear they did it on purpose just to make mama work...My oldest had his TKD pics yesterday and I cannot wiat to see them. The guys were very professional and really pushed his to kick really high & look at the camera with a fierce karate look.

Since weight training I've put on a lb but my clothes are still loser so I'm not too worried. Gotta let things rearrange a bit...sadly I tried on all my shorts and since i've lost weight but not a ton, they all give me that dumpy butt look...looks like I'll have to suffer through a shopping trip...LOL

Ok no ore bad dreams or bad computers. We need every body getting healthy so that spring can really get here and stay.

Future-i use regular half and half just b/c it seems less "franken" than the light. Bean brownies....eeeek not for me

Soon-don't let dad stress you too much. Sounds like your dad dotes on sis b/c she needs it whereas yo are actually an adult that can support herself. Not fair or fun but maybe he just needs to feel important.

Hi chicks. Horrible day for me yesterday staying on the beach. I've been struggling with snacking with non-beachy items. Hopefully today will be a better day. Nothing exciting today- work, Curves, and trying to potty train my son who is 4 1/2. Signed him up for kindergarten yesterday so he has to be done by Sept. Pooping is done, but working on "training his peepees" as he says. Any suggestions from you veteran moms. My daughter was also late being trained. I think we are on the right track. No accidents yesterday. Hopefully today will be as good. Work is terribly busy and I work at home so I feel like I am working all day long. Hubby is working overtime now as well so sometimes it seems like I'm all alone with the kiddies. Well, life goes on and hopefully the tide won't pull me in today.
Weezle-- Hope all is better in Springfield today. Thoughts are with you and all who were affected.
Talk to you chickies later.

Good morning!
Man, it's so windy and cold ....but it's bright and sunny on the other hand.

I just ate a piece of bread for the first time in 2 1/2 weeks. I started on phase 2 and haven't missed it at all but I really wanted some pb on toast with my tea. It was good! I've lost a couple pounds. I don't weigh often but I did this morning and it went down.

Today is a rest day for me from working out. I always feel guilty though!

I hope everyone has a glorious day!

DH said Brian had a headache when he picked him up from day care yesterday. And a low grade fever and sore throat. He took him in to Primacare and sure enough, his strep throat is back. He's only been off the ampicillin for two days! He's on a stronger antibiotic this time and seemed to be feeling better this morning. DH will watch him since he's unemployed and I work from the office on Wednesday's. I do know I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home today. It turns out that Brian likes to take the liquid antibiotic with fresh strawberries. A bite of strawberry, a sip of the strawberry flavored antibiotic. I say whatever gets a kid to take it without arguing is fine with me!

Oh, Brian invented a new smoothy last night. Let me know if anyone wants me to post it in the recipes. It is one container of strawberry banana yogurt (sf of course), one snack size cup of unsweetened applesauce, a cup or so of frozen strawberries and a banana. I thought it would taste weird but we all loved it!

mama - You need to rest and if you don't start feeling better go in to a Primacare type place if your doctor isn't available. It is possible that the script he gave you won't work for what you have and you don't want to take chances when you have a chronic condition. Hope you feel better!

I've got a meeting. I'll try to post more later.

Hi Futurecfo:

Quote:
But I am absolutely terrified that things like those brownies are going to keep me from losing weight. How many is alright to have in a day? I cut the pan into 9 brownies.
There really is no limit, but I would keep to 1 or 2 max.. They are 125 cals a piece if you made 6...and the SF products might cause some digestion problems if you eat too many.


Quote:
Oh yea, I also made marinated cucumbers from the board as well, which leads me to 2 questions. Two things that are called for in phase one recipes have added sugar/corn syrup: rice wine vinegar and fat free half and half. Are they still okay to have?
Send us a link or give us the exact recipe name so we can check it out for you..

Quote:
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for mild vegetables to have in the morning? I will never tire of eggs, but peppers and asparagus are a little stomach turning at breakfast time. Are those stuffed mushrooms okay? It makes me wish I liked V8...maybe I'd like it if it were warm, like soup?
There are quite a few Breakfast recipes that enhance /supplement basic omelets /egg dishes with veggies like squash, zucchini, onions, tomatos etc... I like my Squash Scramble..tasteeee.

Which stuffed mushrooms? At any rate, you can have any dish anytime... We're big on saying you don't need to limit your self to "traditional" breakfast items like eggs or "pancakes"...

Hope this helps ya

Morning Beachies!

Did I ever tell you guys that I love Wisconsin weather? One minute it's 65, and now we have a winter warning. Enough is enough already, bring on the warm weather! I'm still trying to shake this stupid cold. I woke up this morning feeling better, but now I'm all stuffy again.

Went to the gym last night again, walked on the treadmill for about 45 minutes and then did some weight training. Lost a pound : while I was at the gym - however I'm sure that was all water weight. We'll have to see when I get there after work tonight for step aerobics.

Freaky - computer problems are the worst! A few weeks ago mine decided it just wasn't going to turn on - so I lost all my files since my last backup - word to the wise: SAVE ALL YOUR FILES ON A BACK UP!! Saves a ton of time and hard work.

Ruth - Hope your sleep is better tonight and no more yucky dreams!

Mamahulk - I'm with ya on not feeling good. It's such a pain to stay OP when you don't feel good, but hang in there I'm right with ya!

Soon: Fathers can be such a pain, if it makes you feel any better, my father is 60 and on his 3rd marriage. Hopefully this one sticks for awhile. I think they fear being alone. It makes them act stupidly, and selfish. Hang in there, he'll come around.

3darlings: Congrats on your OP day and exercising!

Batmomm: Keep on the weights, you may gain at first, but the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn while resting - definately worth it. (And it's always nice to see some toning too! )

Lindy: with potty training. I don't have any kids, but I just house trained our newest pup, and it is hard work.

Barb: It seems like everyone is sick lately Hopefully the air clears up soon!

Okay all, time to get back to work! Gotta love the meetings!

Nicole

I've posted the Smoothie in the phase 2 Dessert section. We don't have a beverage section and we used it as dessert. It could also work for a snack.

At least if Brian had to get sick again, it is Spring Break and he isn't missing school I just hope I don't get it. We were sharing a water bottle before he got sick.

Lindy - I wish I could help with the potty training issues but I have to admit that day care did most of the work at potty training Brian. We did have problems with nighttime wetness until last summer around the time that he turned 8 but we didn't let it stress him and it got less frequent as he got older and he's been dry totally for six months now.

usmchoney - I'm crossing my fingers that Keely's test results are good.

futurecfo - I have used rice wine vinegar in many recipes but I've also been in phase 2 for a long time. I think the amount of corn syrup is really small but I would have to check my bottle. How much shows up in the nutritional section under sugar?

Lindy: My 3 1/2 year old son is somewhat potty training. He was doing really well until he was put in a developmental preschool. They don't work with the kids on potty training, so it's tough. What works best for him though is to let him run around with nothing on from the waist down. If my son is naked he always makes it to the potty in time. If he's got pants on, he forgets. Then when he starts doing well with that, just put underwear on him and go from there. It doesn't work with every kid, but it's worth a try. (That is, if you don't mind a half naked boy running around the house. )

Good Afternoon,

I'm restarting P1...2 days down, so far so good! I worked out this morning and had a bean muffin...pretty tasty! It's a busy day at work, just taking my lunch (Egg Plant Parmesan and the p1 brownies from the recipie board..mmmmm )

Ruth: I feel you, I had a nightmare myself last night. I am getting married in August and I had a dream about my wedding and everything went wrong...my dress had red everywhere on it, a cat ate all of my flowers and decorations, and our photographer decided to come at the end with no camera. It doesn't sound so scary I guess...but it's obviously stressing me out and I ALWAYS remember my dreams.

I just thought I would start joining in on the discussion....good luck to you all!

It's not so much an exact recipe as it is the ingredients themselves...like fat free half and half, which has corn syrup as a second ingredient and rice wine vinegar, which has sugar as a second ingredient. I just wanted to make sure they were ok to have!

Future CFO . That is the concern with anything listed as Fat Free.. The fillers that are used are usually sugar - .. You can use Lf half and half in the place of fat free. Low fat half and half is considered a limited item. Depending upon the amount in the recipe, you may need to eliminate other dairy for that day. If it calls for just a splash, then use your judgement.
In general all Vinegars are acceptable --there is a caveat to watch for added sweetners. There is a limit on sugars as an additive.. You should avoid it. That being said sugar has a moderate GI ranking -- so , IMO, you might want to consider the amount that is being used in the recipe, and the number of servings--chances are that the amount of sugar involved from the Rice Vinegar will be negligent.

Hello ladies! I tried SB about a year ago and now I'm back at it! I went shopping last night so I'd be sure to have plenty of stuff to get started with. I really looked forward to getting on this site everyday and checking the posts. This is the most supportive place on the web that I've ever seen! I'm so glad to be back and look forward to getting to know all of you!
