Eh he was a pretty lazy can. The size was all he had going for him.

I'm convinced white potatoes get a bad rap. See here. Scroll down towards the bottom for complete nutritonal info. It's actually pretty high in certain vitamins and minerals.

Preschool really interferes with my online life.

Today I dropped the kids off for school and then stopped at a friends house to drop something off for her. I am SO glad I did. She saved me a 40 mile round trip to the UPS place. Come to find out there is a place in town that handles UPS and they aren't listed on the the UPS site. I saved a whole hour and Kim's pressure cooker is on its way.

Then I went to the grocery store and saw they had Silk milk on sale this week. Score! Now to save calories so that I can have a glass a day. Yummy.

Scale is down again! It has been a WIN day here.

I'm not doing personals. Good thoughts and kicks in the groin where needed.

hoping your knee recovers well and quick!

Right now I only doula for people I love, and all of them are done with babies! I have no interest in doing it as a business. Hospital births make me CRAZY. I am tired of my clients being bullied into things they don't want or made to feel guilty about their choices, which they have taken a lot of time to make and came from a place of evidence-based conclusion. All my friends are homebirthers, so those are the births I have done most recently.

before I became a midwife I witnessed something on a labor floor that was so disturbing it was almost like a rape was taking place.

Not surprised. I have a friend who was an L&D nurse for 8 years. She told me some of the most horrible stories to prep me for what might happen. Once women are in the birthing bed, they are meat in some facilities.

Jo - I am in extreme envy...of both your Dad and your upcoming trip. One day, I shall run like the wind, too. And, stay in oh-so-romantic spots.

H - Coke can, huh? What a picture. No nuts *snicker*and no grains. What do they want you to eat? I get the feeling that the diet is not geared toward vegans?

Jaime - I love potatoes...with butter, sour cream, etc. Not sure how to work them into my plan without the "good" stuff. I bought a bag of little red potatoes. Not sure how to cook them, but they sounded really yummy to me at the grocery store.

I am so productive today that it's absolutely sickening.

Actually it is a vegan diet

rhonda- there is a thread on 3fc about crash potatoes. find it and enjoy!

Yum little red potatoes! There is a recipe in the Food Talk forum here for "crash" baked potatoes - they are cooked, then smashed with herbs and such, then re-baked. The photos look GREAT. I can find the thread if you want.

Potatoes are just so easy. And tasty no matter what. My one last night had BBQ chicken on top; this afternoon's had broccoli and some cheese. I am apparently pretty Irish though in terms of lineage, so some of my potato worship might come from that.

H - I had NO idea a potato would give me over 100% of my vitamin C requirement! Craziness!! Why are potatoes so darn vilified?

So...what exactly would you be able to eat on-plan? Not much, thus, the weight loss!

Heh, we are on the same potato-related wavelength.

Yum! I'm on my way over to the Food Talk Forum. ttyl.

Because they are freaking nasty.

ok, I 'm running back to station now. I smell like flowers
